Answer: Nonmetals to Nonmetals </h2>
Covalent bonds hold non-metallic atoms together. These atoms have many electrons in their outermost level and have a tendency to gain electrons rather than to yield them.
In this case the bond is formed by sharing a pair of electrons between the two atoms, one from each atom. Then, this pair of shared electrons is common to the two atoms and holds them together, so that both atoms acquire more stability.
Therefore the correct answer is C.
Answer:
O²⁻
Explanation:
Number of protons = 8
Number of neutrons = 9
Number of electrons = 10
What type of atom or ion is it = ?
Solution:
Protons are the positively charged particle in an atom
Neutrons do not carry any charges
Electrons are negatively charged particles
For this atom, the number of protons helps to identify what specie it is; so this is an oxygen atom.
Now,
Charge = Number of protons - Number of electrons
Charge = 8 - 10 = -2
The charge on the atom is -2 and so it is an oxygen ion with -2 charge
The ion is O²⁻
