Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A covalent bond is defined as the bond which occurs due to sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.
Generally, a covalent bond is formed between non-metals.
For example, both nitrogen and oxygen atoms are non-metals and they combine covalently to form 
compound.
As nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and an oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons. So, there occurs unequal sharing of electrons between the two.
Thus, we can conclude that when a covalent bond forms then electrons in valence shells are shared between atoms.
Answer:
Cl
Explanation:
The element Cl will have the strongest ionization energy from the given choices. Most non-metals have higher ionization energy compared to metals.
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from the gaseous phase of an atom.
- As you go from left to right on the periodic table, it increases progressive
- From top to bottom, the ionization energy reduces significantly.
- The attractive force between the protons in the nucleus and the electrons plays a very important role.
- In metals, they have very large atomic radius, the attractive force on the outer electrons is very weak.
- This is not the case in non-metals
Answer:
It depends on their melting and/or their boiling points, because the heat provides the particles with kinetic energy to break the electrosatic bonds in the substances, which can differ in strength

Answer:
A
Explanation:
I'm right I took the test
Answer:
C₂H₄O₂ and NaC₂H₃O₂ are reactants.
Explanation:
Word equation:
Acetic acid + sodium acetate → sodium diacetate
Chemical equation:
C₂H₄O₂ + NaC₂H₃O₂ → C₄H₇NaO₄
This is a synthesis reaction in which simple reactants combine to form complex product.
This is also balanced chemical equation because there are equal number of atoms of all elements on both side of equation. Thus it follow the law of conservation of mass.
Law of conservation of mass:
According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
