Answer: C) Non-metals can share pairs of electrons and form covalent bonds

Explanation: The principal reason why it is non-metals that can form covalent bonds is because of their electronegativities. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.

The participating atoms in a covalent bond have to be able to hold the shared electron in place & it is this attraction towards the centre of each participating atom that holds the electrons in place. Metals aren't electronegative, they don't attract electrons towards each other, they'd rather even push the electrons away from themselves (electropositive) to be stable. The closest concept of metals to shared electrons is in metallic bonding, where metals push and donate their valence electrons to an electron cloud which is free to move around the bulk of the metallic structure. But this is nowhere near the type of bonding that exist in covalent bonds.

QveST [7]

Answer:

1. Yes

2.The solubility of X is 34.55g/L

Explanation:

Solubility of  solute refers to how readily a solute will dissolve in a solvent at a particular temperature. Its the amount of moles or grams required to saturate 1dm^{3} or 1 Litre of water.

From the problem, when the liquid was drained off and amount of X which didn't dissolve was measured, it weighed 0.008kg, this means out of 0.027kg, 0.027-0.008 actually dissolved

= 0.019kg*1000 = 19g.

if 19g is required to saturate 550mL at 30°C,

then\frac{19*1000}{550} will saturate 1L

= 34.545g  will saturate 1Litre

The solubility thus is 34.55g/L

What is a vocab word for Friction?
Leona [35]

Answer: Friction is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.

Hydrogen bonds form between neighboring water molecules because of:
12345 [234]
*A & B*

Answers A & B are not possible, as Hydrogen “bonds” are intermolecular forces and do not actually involve transfer or sharing of electrons.

*C & D*

Viscosity and surface tension are not the answer as they are not specific enough to the question.

*E*

Polarity of water molecules is the correct answer, as water molecules are highly polar. The partial positive of the Hydrogen on one water molecule is highly attracted to the partial negative of the Oxygen (due to its lone pairs) on another water molecule.

sashaice [31]

Answer:The visible light contains 7 colours  :  Violet, indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red.

White colour is formed by the interference of all 7 colours, thus white light has the combination of all frequencies of visible light.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer : (4) Chromatography

Explanation :

Chromatography : It is a separation technique of a mixture by passing it through a medium in which components travels at different rates.

There are many types of chromatography but this is paper chromatography.

Paper chromatography : It is used to separate the colored substances. In paper chromatography, water is the mobile phase and paper is the stationary phase. The mixture of components moves at different speeds through the stationary phase so that they can be separated.

In paper chromatography, several colors can be separated based on their solubility. The more soluble a color is, the more readily it will dissolve in mobile phase and farther it will travel.
