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.

Practically: Add 1.66 ml of my 0.3M lemonade to a 15 ml microcentrifuge tube. Add 3.33 ml of your diluent (water, in this case)
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

We would need 10 mL of the concentrated CaCl₂ stock solution, and 30 mL of water.

Explanation:

To solve the question asked we can use the C₁V₁=C₂V₂ equation, where:

  • C₁ = 200 mM
  • V₁ = ?
  • C₂ = 50 mM
  • V₂ = 40 mL

We <u>solve for V₁</u>:

  • V₁ = 10 mL

We would need 10 mL of the concentrated CaCl₂ stock solution, and (40-10) 30 mL of water.

Sodium chloride comprises 97%-99% of table salt. Given their location on the periodic table, identify the ionic charge for each
ruslelena [56]
The answer is A) Sodium is an Alkali metal and is in group IA with an ionic charge of +1. While chlorine, Cl, is a halogen and is in group VIIA with a charge of -1. These will form NaCl(s).

If 35.8 grams of LiCl are dissolved in 184 grams of water, what is the concentration of the solution in percent by mass?
uysha [10]
Mass of solute = 35 grams
Mass of solution = mass of nacl + mass of water = 35.8 + 184 = 219.8 grams


Concentration = mass of Nacl x 100/mass of solution.

= 35x100/219.8 = 15.92%.

Hope this helps you.

Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you t
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Sample A - mixture

Sample B- Mixture

Explanation:

Looking at sample A, we can see that as water was poured over sample A, the sample was separated into its components as the powder disappeared leaving behind a gritty black sand-like material on the surface of the paper. A separation of the mixture has taken place.

In sample B, we can clearly see that it is a mixture because the amount of solid recovered is much less than the total mass of the solid put into the beaker. The sample must have been separated into its components.
