Explanation:

When a chemical bond is formed by sharing of electrons then it is known as a covalent bond.

A covalent bond is always formed between two non-metals.

For example, atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

As a result, it needs one more electron to complete its octet. So, when it chemically combines with another chlorine atom then there will occur sharing of electrons.

Hence, $Cl_{2}$ is formed which is a covalent compound.

On the other hand, when a chemical bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another then it is known as an ionic bond. An ionic bond is always formed between a metal and a non-metal.

For example, LiCl is an ionic compound.

Thus, we can conclude that in a chlorine gas covalent bonding is present when two chlorine atoms share an electron.

Oftentimes solubility of a compound limits the concentration of the solution that can be prepared. Use the solubility data given

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

NaNO3 (solubility = 89.0 g/100 g H2O)

Explanation:

The solubility of a specie is the amount of solute that will dissolve in one litre of the solvent. Solubility is usually expressed in units of molarity.

Now let us calculate the molarity of the NaNO3 (solubility = 89.0 g/100 g H2O)

Molar mass of NaNO3= 23+14+3(16)= 85gmol-1

Mass of solute=89.0g

Amount of solute= mass of NaNO3/molar mass of NaNO3

Amount of solute= 89.0g/85.0 gmol-1

= 1.0moles of NaNO3

Note that 100g of water=100cm^3 of water.

If 1.0 moles of NaNO3 dissolve in 100cm^3 or water therefore,

x moles of NaNO3 will dissolve in 1000cm^3 of water

x= 1.0 × 1000/ 100

x= 10.0 moles of NaNO3

Given the following partial (valence-level) electron configurations,<br> (a) identify each element,

Kamila [148]

The arrangement of electrons within an atom is called the electronic configuration and the electrons are filled up according to the energy of the levels as: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f.

<h3>What is the difference between electron configuration and valence electron configuration?</h3>

Electron configuration is the number of electrons that are present in the atom and is repressed through the different sub-shells. So for example, the electron configuration for oxygen is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^4. While the valence electrons only refer to the electrons in the outermost shell of the atom.

<h3>What is a partial orbital diagram?</h3>

A partial orbital diagram shows only the highest energy sublevels being filled. Al (Z = 13) 1s22s22p63s23p1. A condensed electron configuration has the element symbol of the previous noble gas in square brackets. Al has the condensed configuration [Ne]3s23p1.
