Answer: The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms forming a compound. This type of bond is usually formed between two non-metals.

From the given options:

Option A: two gold atoms

Gold atom is a metal and thus, will not form covalent bond.

Option B: two neon atoms

Neon atom is a noble gas and is unreactive atom. Thus, it will not form covalent bond.

Option C: hydrogen and oxygen atoms

Both the atoms are non-metals and thus, will lead to the formation of a covalent bond.

Option D: magnesium and bromine atom

Magnesium atom is a metal and bromine atom is a non-metal. Thus, they will not lead to the formation of covalent bond but will form ionic bond.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

What is the equilibrium constant expression for the ksp of sr3(po4)2?

Eddi Din [679]

The equilibrium constant expression for KSP of Sr3(PO4)2 is

KSP={(Sr^2+)^3 (PO4^3-)^2/ Sr3(PO4)2}

Explanation

write the ionic equation for Sr3(PO4)2

Sr3(PO4)2 → 3Sr^2+ + 2 PO4^3-

KSP is given by (concentration of the products raised to their coefficient /concentration of reactants raised to their coefficient)

Lithium, beryllium, and boron are elements with atomic number 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Even though they are three of the five

Papessa [141]

Explanation:

These elements are rare because:

Helium fuses into the carbon by the combination of three helium nuclei (Z = 2) and one carbon nucleus (Z = 6), therefore bypassing elements with Z= 3, 4 and 5 which are lithium, beryllium, and boron respectively. Therefore, the fusion processes in cores of the stars do not form these three elements.
