What is the maximum number of double bonds that a hydrogen atom can form?

Physics
1 answer:
denis23 [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl. These elements have many electrons in their outermost level (valence electrons) and have a tendency to gain electrons to acquire the stability of the electronic structure of noble gas. The shared electron pair is common to the two atoms and holds them together.

In a double covalent bond each atom contributes two electrons to the bond, that is, two pairs of electrons are shared between the atoms that form the covalent bond.

The Hydrogen atom is made up of a proton and an electron, which is located in its outermost layer and allows the covalent bond to form.  So <u><em>hydrogen cannot form a double bond </em></u>because it does not have the electrons necessary to form the bond. It needs two electrons in the valence shell or last shell and it only has a single electron.

A car travels along a straight line at a constant speed of 53.0 mi/h for a distance d and then another distance d in the same di
Shalnov [3]

A distance of d is covered with 53 mile/hr initially. Time taken to cover this distance t1 = d/53 hour Next distance of d is covered with x mile hours. Time taken to cover this distance t2 = d/x hours. We have average speed = 26.5 mile / hour          

                                         = Total distance traveled/ total time taken                  

                                         = \frac{2d}{\frac{d}{53}+\frac{d}{x}} = \frac{2}{\frac{1}{53}+\frac{1}{x} }  = \frac{106x}{x+53}

                              26.5 = \frac{106x}{x+53} \\ \\ 79.5 x = 1404.5\\ \\ x = 17.67 miles/hour

Two friends of different masses are on the playground. They are playing on the seesaw and are able to balance it even though the
Westkost [7]

Answer:

They are able to balance torques due to gravity.

F_1 L_1 = F_2L_2

Explanation:

When two friends of different masses will balance themselves on see saw then at equilibrium position the see saw will remain horizontal

This condition will be torque equilibrium position where the see saw will not rotate

Here we can say

F_1 L_1 = F_2L_2

here we know that force is due to weight of two friends

and their positions are different with respect to the lever about which see saw is rotating

since both friends are of different weight so they will balance themselves are different positions as per above equation

Which switch configuration creates a short circuit?
lara31 [8.8K]
I think the answer would be Switch 1 open; switches 2, 3, and 4 closed. It is letter D. This will happen when there is a low resistance and a high circuit so from the choices above, when two bulbs are open and one bulb is close, so there is a low resistance and high voltage.

What is the power of an electric with a current of 0.5 A and a voltage of 120 V ? The formula for power is P =IV
zaharov [31]

Answer:

60Watts

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Current = 0.5A

Voltage  = 120V

Unknown

Power = ?

Solution:

The power in the electric circuit is the product of current and voltage;

      P = IV

Insert the given parameters and solve;

      P = 0.5 x 120

      P  = 60Watts
