Answer:

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding

Which of these pairs of elements have the same number of valence electrons?

Taya2010 [7]

The same number of valence electrons exists in the same family of elements in the periodic table. In finding the answer to this problem, we just have to find the pair that belongs to the same family in the periodic table. The same family means same column. Among these, Oxygen and lead (Pb) are in the same family. This pair is the answer.

Answer: $4KO_2+2CO_2\rightarrow 2K_2CO_3+3O_2$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced chemical equation for reaction of potassium superoxide with carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and potassium carbonate will be:

$4KO_2+2CO_2\rightarrow 2K_2CO_3+3O_2$
