why is it much easier for group 14 elements to become stable by sharing instead of transferring electrons9

Chemistry

Because they are closer to the farther end of the periodic table. Since they are closer to the farther end they don't want to give away their electrons because it would be easier for them to just steal them from other atoms.

Answer:

Because of their intermediate electronegativity

Explanation:

First of all, any element of the periodic table interacts with other atoms to complete the octet in its last atomic level and achive stability, either losing or gaining electrons.  

Group 14 elements have 4 electrons in the last level, so it would seem that for they its the same to lose or gain electrons. But actually its neither, for them is easier to share the electrons with other atoms.

This is because they don't have a <u>very high electronegativity</u> (making them able to steal electrons) nor a <u>very low electronegtivity </u>(making them anle to release electrons).

This intermediate electronegativity is the responsable of the sharing of electrons.

After attending his cousin's birthday party in his backyard, Michael forgot his balloon outside when he went to bed. Overnight,
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

You see, we must cast our minds back to Charles' law. Charles' law gives the relationship between the volume of a gas and temperature of the gas.

Now, Micheal left the balloon outside at a particular temperature and volume the previous night. Overnight, the temperature dropped significantly and so must the volume of the gas in the balloon!

Remember that Charles' law states that, the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure. Since the pressure was held constant, the drop in the volume of gas in the balloon can be accounted for by the drop in temperature overnight.

Andru [333]

Answer:

1 A

3 main types of bond are

Ionic bond ( formed due to complete transfer of electron between atoms(

Covalent bond ( formed by mutual sharing of electron)

Metalic bond ( present in the metals due to mobile electrons)

1 B bond in CaO is ionic bond formation in attached image

1 C hydrogen bond with nitrogen is covelent NH3 ammonia is formed because a bond between two non metals is expected to be covalent

More their electronegativity difference between hydrogen and nitrogen is less than 1.7 that makes it covalent

What is the formula of the chromium(iii) complex that contains two ammonia and four thiocyanate (scn−) ligands?
Nonamiya [84]
Answer is: formula of the complex is [Cr(NH₃)₂(SCN)₄<span>]</span>⁻<span>.
This complex has negative charge (-1) because chromium (central atom or metal) has oxidation number +3, first ligand ammonia has neutral charge and second ligand thiocyanate has negative oxidation number -1:
