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.

Answer:
CuSO4 + 2NaOH → Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4
Explanation:
Answer:
Hydrogen bonding, interaction involving a hydrogen atom located between a pair of other atoms having a high affinity for electrons; such a bond is weaker than an ionic bond or covalent bond but stronger than van der Waals forces. Hydrogen bonds can exist between atoms in different molecules or in parts of the same molecule.

Answer:
D. Visible Light
Explanation:
D is the right answer because visible light is perceived by humans as color and the rest aren't visible at all. For example, if you broke a bone and have to have an X-ray done, you can't see the x-rays. When you are heating something in the microwave, you can't see the waves. And when you are listening to the radio in the car, you also can't see the waves.
We are going to use table salt, NaCl as an example.
(s) = solid, eg the salt you put on your food is a crystalline solid.
(l) = liquid, if you melt salt it take on a liquid form
(g) = gaseous, if you put enough energy in the salt will turn into a gas.
(aq) = aqueous, meaning in water or another solvent. If you put some table salt in water and stir it, it will dissolve, the NaCl molecules dont get destroyed but they dissolve becoming part of the liquid.
