Answer:

Covalent bonds.

Explanation:

Quartz is a common mineral found in the earth's crust. Chemically it is composed of a silicon(Si) and oxygen (O) and has a formula SiO2, also known as silica or silicon dioxide.

The bonds formed between elements can be broadly classified into four types:

Ionic, Covalent, metallic and Van der waals

In the case of quartz, the each Si atom is covalently bonded to four O atoms and each O atom is forms a covalent bond with 2 Si atoms resulting in a hexagonal crystalline form. Covalent bonds are the strongest which explains why SiO2 has a high melting point.

The answer to this question would be: covalent bond

Silicon dioxide or SiO2 is made of silicon which is a metalloid and oxygen which is a gas. The bond that the molecule made is a polar covalent bond because silicon is not a real metal. Silicon dioxide is a polymorph that has many different kinds of crystal form.

Describe how hydrogen and oxygen form water.
bekas [8.4K]
Hydrogen and Oxygen by themselves have 1 and 6 valence electrons, respectively. 8 valence electrons is stable, so the atoms form bonds with each other to achieve 8 valence e-.

1 H atom + 1 H atom + 1 O atom = 8 valence e-

Na +H₂O- NaOH +H₂ balance
Whitepunk [10]

Hey there!

Na + H₂O → NaOH + H₂

First, balance O.

One on the left, one on the right. Already balanced.

Next, balance H.

Two on the left, three on the right. Let's add a coefficient of 2 in front of NaOH and a coefficient of 2 in front of H₂O, so we have 4 on each side.

Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂

Lastly, balance Na.

One on the left, two on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of Na.

2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂  

This is our final balanced equation.

Hope this helps!
