B

Carbon has 4 valence electrons that can be involved in the formation of a covalent bond. This is why it can form various types of bonds with itself or other elements. Depending on the number of valence electrons involved in the binding, the bond can be a single, double or triple bond.

Explanation:

Remember the atoms sharing electrons in a covalent bond are aimed at achieving stable electron configuration. Carbon (2.4) being in the middle of the 2nd period seeks to be either 2 or 2.8.

This is why carbon based structures can vary so much due to the large variability in which the carbon atoms can bond. Remember carbon is the same element that forms graphite, diamond, and coal.

asambeis [7]
Answer: A convex lens is used to converge ligtht.

Explanation:

A concave lens is a lens that is thicker on the ends than in the middle. As consequence of this, a concave lens diverges (separate) the rays of light. A concave lens is also called diverging lens.

A convex lens is is thicker in the middle than on the ends. As consequence of this, a convex lense converge the parallel rays that pass through it. A convex lens is also called converging lens.

In a chemical reaction, the element 13al will most preferably ________. in a chemical reaction, the element 13al will most prefe
Rasek [7]
Let us calculate the structure of the electric shells of the Al atom. It has an atomic number of 13, so it has 13 electrons. The first 2 go to the first hell. The next 8 need to go to the second shell and the last 3 ones would go to the outermost shell. The outer shell, that is the most important one for chemical reactions, has thus 3 electrons. An atom always tries to have a completed outer shell (with either 2 or 8 atoms). It is easier for a cell to have a charge of +3 than a charge of -5 (smaller absolute value) and thus the Aluminum atom will try to get rid of the 3 electrons. In this process, it loses negative charge thus it will become positively charged. Hence, the correct answer is that it will prefer to lose 3 electrons and become positively charged.

1. If you have 5g of pennies how many dozen pennies do you have?
likoan [24]

Answer:

15.69 dozen

Explanation:

Mass of penny = 5 g

Dozens of penny =..?

Next, we shall convert 5 g to gross. This can be obtained as follow:

3824 g = 1000 gross

Therefore,

5 g = 5 g × 1000 gross / 3824 g

5 g = 1.3075 gross

Thus, 5 g is equivalent to 1.3075 gross.

Finally, we convert 1.3075 gross to dozen. This can be obtained as follow:

1 gross = 12 dozen

Therefore,

1.3075 gross = 1.3075 gross × 12 dozen / 1 gross

1.3075 gross = 15.69 dozen

Thus, 5 g of penny is equivalent to 15.69 dozen
