Answer:

Explanation:

If something says always, you have to know for sure that it's true otherwise don't pick it. Covalent compounds have non-metals like carbon(s), oxygen(g), and bromine (l)

Answer: B. They are always liquid at room temperature, and have a high melting and boiling point.

Explanation: A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding. Hence the bonding is relatively weak thus have low melting and boiling point. On the other hand, ionic compounds are formed by the transferring of electrons thus strong electrostatic forces are present and require a large amount of energy to break it apart hence boiling and melting points are high.

For example

The molecule carbon tetrachloride is a non-polar covalent molecule, CCl4. Its melting point is -23°C. By contrast, the ionic solid NaCl has a melting point of 800°C.

Properties of Covalent Compounds

1. Gases, liquids, or solids (made of molecules)

2. Low melting and boiling points

3. Poor electrical conductors in all phases

4. Many soluble in nonpolar liquids but not in water

In the uncatalyzed reaction N2O4 (g) ⇌ 2 NO2 (g) the pressure of the gases at equilibrium are PN2O4 = 0.377 atm and PNO2 = 1.56

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The pressures will remain at the same value.

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance that alter the rate of a chemical reaction. It either speeds up the or slows down the rate of a chemical reaction.

While a catalyst affects the rate, it is noteworthy that it has no effect on the equilibrium position of the chemical reaction. A catalyst works by creating an alternative pathway for the reaction to proceed. Most times, it decreases the activation energy needed to kickstart the chemical reaction.

Hence, we know that it has no effect on the equilibrium position. Factors affecting equilibrium position includes, temperature and concentration of reactants and products( pressure in terms of gases).

The reactants and the products here are gaseous, and as such pressure affects the equilibrium position. Now, we have established that the equilibrium position is unaffected. And as such the pressure affecting it does not change.

Thus, we have established that the pressure of the products and reactants are unaffected and as such they remain at their value unaffected.

Where do the gaseous elements tend to be located on the table

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Group 8 or Group 0

Explanation:

Group 8 or Group 0 are generally inert gases with Helium as the first member in that group. Their complete duplet (in the case of Helium) and Octet (in the case of Neon) configuration makes them very stable and chemically un-reactive.
