Maximum number of covalent bonds that an oxygen atom can make with hydrogen is 2.
- the ground state electronic configuration of oxygen is 2s² 2p⁴ that means it has 6 electrons in its valence shell and require two electrons are required to complete its octate.
- Two bonds are created when an electron donor atom shares the two needed electrons with oxygen. The ability of two oxygen atoms to share valence electrons results in the creation of a double bond between the two atoms.
- There are no longer any empty orbitals in the octet of oxygen after it is complete. As a result, it is unable to accept more electrons or create more bonds.
Therefore, Oxygen can only generate two bonds because it needs two additional electrons to complete its octet, after which it will run out of empty orbitals in which to receive additional electrons and create additional bonds.

The correct answer is the last option. When <span>Zac releases the air from a balloon, it will expand to fill the room. It will not expand in the sense that molecules will be big but the molecules will be more spread out into the room and more air molecules will be present to fill the room.</span>
This question requires the knowledge of density.
The density of ethyl alcohol = 789 kg m⁻³
The density of water = 1000 kg m⁻³
Density = Mass / Volume
By applying ethyl alcohol,
789 kg m⁻³ = Mass / 0.9 m³
Mass = 710.1 kg
hence the mass of 0.9 m³ ethyl alcohol is 710.1 kg.
Then by applying water,
1000 kg m⁻³ = 710.1 kg / Volume
Volume = 0.7101 m³
= 0.7 m³
hence the equal water volume is 0.7 m³
Answer:
The moles present in 60 g of calcium are 1.5 moles.
This is a question similar to one wrestled with by Newton himself, who didn't understand why the planets didn't fall into each other. The reason satellites don't fly into space is because they are being pulled towards the planet by the planet's gravity.
