Unknown element x is a metal that ionically bonds to sulfur.is the formula, x3s feasible? why or why not?a)it is feasible. the t

hree metallic ions each receive an electron from sulfur.b)no, it is not feasible. sulfur cannot give three electrons to the metal since the sulfide ion has a -2 charge.c)no, it is not feasible. the metallic ion x only has one valence electron and the sulfide ion receives two electrons.d)no, it is not feasible. three metallic ions cannot provide the exact number of electrons that one sulfur needs for the ionic bond.

The correct answer is:
d) No, it is not feasible. three metallic ions cannot provide the exact number of electrons that one sulfur needs for the ionic bond.
Because Sulfur is divalent so it need to gain 2 electrons from metal so if we have 3 metals they can't provide only two electrons only.

Answer:

D)

Explanation:

No, it is not feasible. Three metallic ions cannot provide the exact number of electrons that one sulfur needs for the ionic bond. One sulfide ion would receive exactly two electrons for the ionic bond. This is impossible to get from three metallic ions.

Why do covalent bonds form between elements with similar electronegativity?
sesenic [268]

A COVALENT BOND, FORMS BETWEEN ELEMENTS WITH SIMILAR  ELECTRONEGATIVITY AS SHARING OF ELECTRON PAIRS BETWEEN ATOMS IS EASIER AS THEY ARE IDENTICAL.

Explanation:

Bonding atoms with similar electronegativity values form covalent bonds.

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Covalent bonds form between two nonmetal atoms with identical or relatively close electronegativity values

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, also it is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself.

Pure covalent bonds result when two atoms of the same electronegativity bond. This occurs only when two atoms of the same element bond with each other.

It is about who you are. Just write down anything that relates to you. This is not difficult at all. This worksheet just wants you to fill out your strengths, weaknesses, motivations and personal goals.

All I can say is to write about yourself.
