Covalent bonds are formed when 2 neutral atoms come together to share a pair of electrons, where each atom contributes one electron each to be shared.

The covalent bond is kept together by the electrostatic attraction between the nuclei of the atoms and the shared pair of electrons.

Covalent bonds are usually formed between non metals with a small difference in their electro negativity.

the correct answer is

A. Neutral atoms coming together to share electrons

<u>Answer:</u> Covalent bonds are described as the neutral atoms coming together to share electrons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound. These are usually formed when two non-metals react.

<u>For Example:</u>  HCl is formed by the combination of hydrogen and chlorine atoms. These atoms share electrons to form the compound.

Ionic bond is defined as the bond which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal (carrying positive charge) and a non-metal (carrying negative charge)

<u>For Example:</u>  NaCl is formed by the combination of Na^+\text{ and }Cl^- ions

Hence, covalent bonds are described as the neutral atoms coming together to share electrons.

Some organic solvents do not work well in liquid-liquid aqueous extractions. Ethanol (HOCH2CH3) is a common inexpensive solvent,
erica [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Extraction has to do with the separation of the components of a mixture by dissolving the mixture in a set up involving two phases. One phase is the aqueous phase (beneath) while the other is the organic phase (on top). The solvents used for the two phases must not be miscible. Water commonly is used for the aqueous phase.

Ethanol is an important solvent in chemistry but the solvent is miscible with water in all proportions. As a result of this, ethanol is a poor solvent for carrying out extraction.

How have ideas about the atom changed in the last two centureies?

In the past a scientist named dalton produced an atomic theory. There were certain problems regarding his views. So, later on scientists like chadwick, rutherford and thompson added some fresh light for the real identification of the atom.
dalton said the atom was the smallest unit and it CANNOT BE DIVIDED ANY FURTHER.
NOTE... this was renected with the discovery of the proton, neutron and electron as the sub atomic particles.

To launch a rocket, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen are combined inside the rocket engine to react explosively. How do you thi
KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this chemistry lab, students investigate how to build and launch a simple rocket that uses hydrogen and oxygen gases that will be mixed to propel the rocket (large bulb plastic pipette). Students will understand the principles of combustion reactions, kinetics, stoichiometry of reactions, activation energy, explosive mixtures, rocketry, and different types of chemical reactions. Students will explore and determine the proportions of hydrogen and oxygen mixture that will achieve the best launch results. Students will compare the balanced chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen with their lab results; students should discover that the optimal distance occurs when the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is two to one hydrogen, oxygen mixture ratio and this can be determined theoretically from the balanced chemical reaction equation. Students will perform the lab, collect data, and discuss, compare, and contrast their lab findings with the balanced chemical reaction equation. Students will present their structured inquiry investigations using a power-point presentation. Other groups along with the teacher will assess each group by using a provided rubric. Group assessments will be the deciding assessment for the final lab score. A follow up activity could investigate how NASA scientists launch real rockets into space and propose a procedure to investigate and collect data on a launching a heavier object at the school football field.

Compare the appearance and pH of the unfiltered and filtered polluted water. What conclusion can be made based on these observat
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The unfiltered polluted water is not clear and is yellowish in color. The filtered polluted water is clear with a little bit of yellow color. The pH readings are beyond the range in which organisms can grow. Based on these observations, I can conclude that even though water may look clean, it could actually not be clean or it can still be harmful to living things.
