Which diagram represents an element that is likely to form covalent bonds
2 answers:
The picture of correct answer is attached it is the second one from the left since it has 5 electrons in outermost shell so it can share 3 electrons to complete the octet rule, while first one contains only one electron in outermost shell so it easier to be lost, third one has 8 electrons so it has complete valence shell and last one with only two electrons in outermost shell so it is easier to lose these two electrons.
from 5 to 7 electrons on outermost shell can form covalent bond

If molecules are in a closed container then we expect the pressure to increase as the kinetic energy increases. This is because the atoms of an element collide with the walls of the container and increase the pressure.
If we use the formula , where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R the ideal gas constant and T is the temperature. According to the formula, P is directly proportional to temperature. An increase in temperature leads to an increase in pressure.
Since we know that temperature is the average kinetic energy of molecules present. It means as we increase the temperature we increase the kinetic energy of the molecules which in turn leads to an increase in the pressure.
