Answer: A: high ionization energies; high electron affinitlies.
Explanation: Covalent bonds are basically about sharing of electrons between two atoms to achieve that stable structure. They are formed between two atoms when both have similar tendencies to attract electrons to themselves (i.e., when both atoms have identical or fairly similar ionization energies and electron affinities). Covalent bonding usually occurs between two non-metals.
For effective and proper bonding, the two atoms involved in the covalent bonding exercise should be small and hungry for electrons. This is to enable the nuclei of both atoms to effectively attract and hold the shared electron(s) in place; hence, the need for high ionization energies & high electron affinities for a more effective covalent bonding.
Answer:
Electricity
Explanation:
Nonmetals are defined as elements that generally cannot conduct electricity
Water’s chemical formula is H2O
One atom of oxygen bonded to two attached atoms of hydrogen.
The hydrogen atoms are to one side of the oxygen atom, resulting in a water molecule having a positive charge on the side where the hydrogens reside and a negative charge on the other side, where the oxygen atom resides. This separation
of charge on opposite ends of the molecule is called polarity
