Answer : The correct option is, (C) metals donate electrons to non metals

Explanation :

Covalent compound : Covalent compounds are the compound in which the atoms are covalently bonded. The covalent bonds are formed by the equal sharing of the electrons and these bonds are formed between two non-metals.

Ionic compound : Ionic compounds are the compound in which atoms are bonded through the ionic bond. The ionic bonds are formed by the complete transfer of electrons. That means the bond is formed when the metals donate electrons to the non-metals.

These bonds are formed between one metal and one non-metal.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) metals donate electrons to non metals

If 25.3 grams of mercury(II) oxide react to form 23.4 grams of mercury, how many grams of oxygen must simultaneously be formed?

Answer : The mass of oxygen formed must be 3.8 grams.

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$2HgO\rightarrow 2Hg+O_2$
