The element that is more likely to form a covalent bonds is silicon (si)

Silicon looks like brown powder in random form; it also looks like a silver-gray metallic-looking when it’s in crystalline form.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Silicon is regarded as a semi-conductor, which implies that it possesses electronic conductivity between conductor and insulator while its conductivity rises with temperature. With all these properties, silicon is considered to be a very important element in electronics.

Silicon has four valence electrons which can form a covalent bonds by sharing its electrons. Also, when in its solid form, silicon doesn’t react with water or oxygen because it is an inert element.

However, a covalent bonds is also known as a molecular bond. It refers to a chemical link involving two atoms in which there is a sharing of electron between them. The electrons shared between the two atoms is called bonding pairs.

Some of the interaction involves covalent bonding include:

  • Metal to metal bonding
  • Bent bonds
  • Agnostic interaction

Covalent bonding can also be found in some chemical species, for example, macromolecules and radicals.

However, there are two types of covalent bonds and they include

  • Polar
  • Nonpolar

Therefore, the element that is most likely to form a covalent bonds is silicon (Si)

<span>Answer: K because it is metal and typically forms ionic bonds. Ar is also unlikely to form any bonds because it has a full outer shell of electrons, but it can form covalent bonds.</span>

Which atom, selenium (Se) or Arsenic (As), has the higher electron affinity and why?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

5. Selenium, because it does not have a stable, half-filled p subshell and adding an electron does not decrease its stability.

Explanation:

Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.

Selenium:-

The electronic configuration of the element is:-

[Ar]3d^{10}4s^24p^4

Arsenic:-

The electronic configuration of the element is:-

[Ar]3d^{10}4s^24p^3

The 4p orbital in case of arsenic is half filled which makes the element having more stability as compared to selenium.

Thus, selenium has higher electron affinity because adding electron does not decrease the stability as in case of arsenic.

How many H atoms in 12H2O?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

24 atoms of H  or 1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

simple method

1 H₂O has  atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen

while 12H₂O will have 24 atoms of hydrogen and 12 atom of oxygen

by Avagadros number

molar mass of water H₂0=18.01528 g/mol

1 mole of H₂0 have 2 moles of Hydrogen  

one mole of water= 6.02⋅10²³water molecules =1.2 x 10²⁴hydrogen atoms

12 mole of H₂O   =    1.2 x 10²⁴ x 12=  1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms  

<u />

1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms   in 12 moles of H₂O

<u />
