Answer: d) The volume occupied by the molecules themselves is no longer negligible. This most be the answer because a, b and c don't make any sense at all.
Explanation:
Chemical nomenclature, replete as it is withcompounds with complex names, is arepository for some very peculiar and sometimes startling names. A browse through the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (a fundamental resource) will reveal not just the whimsical work of chemists, but the sometimes peculiar compound names that occur as the consequence of simple juxtaposition. Some names derive legitimately from their chemical makeup, from the geographic region where they may be found, the plant or animal species from which they are isolated or the name of the discoverer.
It is more likely to be found as a COMPOUND, as it is more reactive, by the time we found them, they're already reacted with other elements or compounds to form new compounds.
Example is oxygen, it is very reactive, therefore we often found oxygen in water, which is H2O, in earth, instead of just pure oxygen.
Answer:
A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus
Explanation:
- Covalent bond is the bond which is formed with the sharing of the electrons between the two atoms which are taking part in the bond. It is generally formed between the atoms with similar electronegativity values.
- It is the bond which is generally occurs within non metals as they share electrons to complete their octet.
- The difference in the electronegativity values of the atoms involving in a covalent bond must not exceed the value of 1.7 .
Thus, the electrons are attracted by the two different nucleus of the atoms that are taking part in the bonding.
<u>So, the correct answer is:- A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus</u>
