1.) Why does carbon form covalent bonds?

Chemistry

For #1, I'd say it's "It will usually bond to multiple atoms which can provide a total of 4 additional electrons."

2. Ionic (I'm quite certain because anions/cations (-1 & +1) are Ionic from what I recall, if that's true it's Ionic.
3. "comparison of the associated families to which the elements belong" and
"the difference in electronegativities" are what I would choose, as I mentioned in a comment earlier.

If I'm wrong let me know, but I am at least 80% sure that these responses are correct from what I remember in Chemistry.

Explanation:

1).    A bond, that is, formed by sharing of electrons between the combining atoms is known as a covalent bond.

For example, atomic number of carbon atom is 6 with electronic distribution 2, 4.

So, in order to completely fill the octet carbon atom will combine with atoms that can provide 4 additional electrons to a carbon atom.

Hence, carbon form covalent bonds because it will usually bond to multiple atoms which can provide a total of 4 additional electrons.

2).   When an atom loses one electron then it acquires a +1 charge. Whereas when an atom tends to gain one electron then it acquires a -1 charge.

An ionic bond is formed when there is transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

For example, fluorine on gaining one electron will form a F^{-1} ion and sodium on losing an electron will form a Na^{+1} ion.

Therefore, we can conclude that ionic bond will be formed for atoms that have a +1 or -1 charge.

3).    When there is great difference in electronegativity of combining elements then it also results in the formation of an ionic bond. This is because difference in electronegativity causes partial positive charge on cation and partial negative charge on anion.

Also, families of the combining elements help in determining the difference in electronegativity.

Thus, we can conclude that the relative ionic or covalent character of chemical bonds may be estimated by:

  • comparison of the associated families to which the elements belong .
  • the difference in electronegativities.

(4) Calculate the % of a compound that can be removed from liquid phase 1 by using ONE to FOUR extractions with a liquid phase 2
maksim [4K]

Answer:

One extraction: 50%

Two extractions: 75%

Three extractions: 87.5%

Four extractions: 93.75%

Explanation:

The following equation relates the fraction q of the compound left in volume V₁ of phase 1 that is extracted n times with volume V₂.

qⁿ = (V₁/(V₁ + KV₂))ⁿ

We also know that V₂ = 1/2(V₁) and K = 2, so these expressions can be substituted into the above equation:

qⁿ = (V₁/(V₁ + 2(1/2V₁))ⁿ = (V₁/(V₁ + V₁))ⁿ =  (V₁/(2V₁))ⁿ = (1/2)ⁿ

When n = 1, q = 1/2, so the fraction removed from phase 1 is also 1/2, or 50%.

When n = 2, q = (1/2)² = 1/4, so the fraction removed from phase 1 is (1 - 1/4) = 3/4 or 75%.

When n = 3, q = (1/2)³ = 1/8, so the fraction removed from phase 1 is (1 - 1/8) = 7/8 or 87.5%.

When n = 4, q = (1/2)⁴ = 1/16, so the fraction removed from phase 1 is (1 - 1/16) = 15/16 or 93.75%.

Rate how successful you were at using Active Reading skills by responding to the following statement: As i read, i paid attentio
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

It is possible to rate your active reading skills either by using a number is a specific rate or by using a word that qualifies your performance.

<h3>What are active reading skills?</h3>

Active reading skills are a set of skills that help you read actively; this means skills to effectively read a text and understand it.

<h3>How to rate your reading skills?</h3>

In this case, you are asked to rate your ability to pay attention to your understanding, thoughts, and questions while reading. To do this you can:

Rate using numbers:

  1. Select a specific scale rating such as 1 to 5 or 1 10.
  2. Analyze honestly if you used this ability while reading the text.
  3. Give yourself a number. For example, if you apply this skill only sometimes while reading you can rate yourself 5 out of 10.

Rate using words:

  1. Select the types of words that you will use, the most common ones are frequency words such as always, sometimes, and never.
  2. Analyze honestly your performance.
  3. Find the word that best fits it.

An aqueous solution of CuSO4 appears blue because Cu(H2O)62+ ions absorb _________ photons. A solution of Beta-carotene in alcoh
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Orange, blue

Explanation:

A way to determine the color of a compound is using the Crystal Field Theory (CFT), which depends on the wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The spectrum is formed by different wavelengths, each one with a color. The color happens when the electron is excited, and the goes from a higher level. When it returns to its original energetic level, it releases a photon, in a color way.

So, in CFT, the substance is placed in a light with a mixture of colors. The photon will absorb the color of its wavelength and will reflect the other color, which will be seen in the solution. In this case, the mixed light was prepared with blue and orange colors.

Then, the Cu(H₂O)₆²⁺ ions will absorb the orange color, and reflect the blue one, and the solution will be blue. The beta-carotene will absorb the blue color and will reflect the orange, so the solution will be orange.
