Why the bonds between nonmentals tend to be covalent

Chemistry

Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.

since an element always has a different number of protons, the mass can indicate how many neutrons are in an isotope
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The number of protons is equal to the mass number of the element. Since an element always has a different number of protons, the mass can indicate how many neutrons are in an isotope. Atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons. There are three naturally-occurring isotopes of carbon.

There are 50 fish in the pond that have tags. You catch 25 fish, and 5 of them have tags. What is the best estimate of the numbe
sergeinik [125]

Answer: 250


Explanation:


You work this problem by using proportions.


A proportion is the equalization of two ratios.


Here you assume that the ratio of fish with tags to total fish that you catch is the same than the ratio of fish with tags to total fish in the pond.


Mathematically:

  • 5 fish with tag / 25 fish = 50 fish with tag / x
  • 5 / 25 = 50 / x

Solve for x:

  • Multiplication property of equality: x × 5 = 50 × 25
  • Division property of equality: x = 50 × 25 / 5
  • Result: 250

How much heat (in kj) is required to warm 13.0 g of ice, initially at -12.0 ∘c, to steam at 113.0 ∘c? the heat capacity of ice i
olga nikolaevna [1]
The total amount of heat required is the sum of all the sensible heat and latent heats involved in bringing the ice to a desired temperature and state. The latent heat of fusion and vaporization of water 333.55 J/g and 2260 J/g, respectively. Solving for the total amount of heat,
                   total amount of heat = 13.0 g (2.09 J/gC)(12) + 13(333.55 J/g) + 13.0 g (4.18 J/gC)(100 - 0) + (13.0 g)(2260 J/g) + (13 g)(2.01 J/g)(113-100) 
                                        = 39815.88 J 
                                        = 39.82 kJ
