That would be HYDROGEN.

Because hydrogen has a single electron for the most part, an electron that will readily be lost to form the hydrogen ion it is able to bond with both non-metals who it can give an electron to form covalent bonds (eg. HF, HCl, H₂O, HBr) while also giving up its electron to an alkali metal to form Ionic bonds (eg. KH, Na H)

Carbonyl fluoride, COF2, is an important intermediate used in the production of fluorine-containing compounds. For instance, it

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium concentration of COF_2 is 0.332 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial concentration of COF_2 = 2.00 M

The given chemical equation follows:

                2COF_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+CF_4(g)

<u>Initial:</u>          2.00

<u>At eqllm:</u>     2.00-2x          x      x

The expression of K_c for above equation follows:

K_c=\frac{[CO_2][CF_4]}{[COF_2]^2}

We are given:

K_c=6.30

Putting values in above expression, we get:

6.30=\frac{x\times x}{(2.00-2x)^2}\\\\x=0.834,1.25

Neglecting the value of x = 1.25 because equilibrium concentration of the reactant will becomes negative, which is not possible

So, equilibrium concentration of COF_2=(2.00-2x)=[2.00-(2\times 0.834)]=0.332M

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of COF_2 is 0.332 M

Cooking in a microwave oven is possible because of

they channel heat energy directly to the molecules (tiny particles) inside food. Microwaves heat food like the sun heats your face—by radiation. A microwave is much like the electromagnetic waves that zap through the air from TV and radio transmitters

Why does the temperature of the water stay the same when it melts and boils?
krok68 [10]

The temperature stays the same when a solid changes to a liquid because energy is required to break the forces between particles of water therefore changing the state of matter and separating the particles away from each other.

When a liquid boils, the energy is needed by the particles to escape the surface of the liquid and boil. Instead of raising the temperature, the energy goes into the particles' kinetic energy store so it has enough speed to escape the surface of the liquid.
