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.

Suppose you will fill a glass with ice cubes. When the ice cubes melt, is the glass still full

goblinko [34]

No. It will not still be full. The reason being is because when it melts, it's almost the same thing as compacting things down into another object (container). Therefore, you will have some room left i the glass. Like, if your trashcan was over-flowing, and you push it down to compact it so you can add more trash. So when the ice melts, it will not be full.

Explain why even though it may be sunny outside its not as warm during the summer

Lapatulllka [165]

For part of our orbit the northern half of Earth is tilted toward the Sun. This is summer in the northern hemisphere; there are longer periods of daylight, the Sun is higher in the sky, and the Sun's rays strike the surface more directly, giving us warmer temperatures.

Boron sulfide, B2S3(s), reacts violently with water to form dissolved boric acid (H3BO3) and hydrogen sulfide gas

Gwar [14]

The equation structure for the above mentioned reaction can be written as

$B_{2} S_{3}+6 H_{2} O \rightarrow 2 H_{3} B O_{3}+3 H_{2} S \uparrow$

Explanation:

Considering the above reaction, When Boron sulfide, reacts with water more violently to form boric acid and hydrogen sulfide gas.

$B_{2} S_{3}+H_{2} O \rightarrow H_{3} B O_{3}+H_{2} S \uparrow$

In order to balance the equation, we can do as follows.There are 2 B - atoms on both sides of the equation, but only 2 H - atoms, and one O - atom on LHS, so we have to balance it by putting 6 in front of water and 2 in front of Boric acid and 3 in front of hydrogen sulphide gas, so that we have 2 B - atoms, 3 - S atoms, 12 H - atoms on both sides of the equation, and it is balanced. Balanced equation is given as,

$B_{2} S_{3}+6 H_{2} O \rightarrow 2 H_{3} B O_{3}+3 H_{2} S \uparrow$

Thus a Balanced equation of the above mentioned reaction is written.
