Which statement explains why the bonds between non metals tend to be covalent

Chemistry

UNO [17]3 years ago
6 0
Since the choices are missing, I will tell you why non-metals tend to form covalent bonds. You can then link this answer to the best fit choice.

Ionic bond is only formed due to an electrostatic attraction force between ions of opposite charges which cannot happen in case of non-metals whose ions are mostly anions.

On the other hand, a covalent bond is formed due to electrons being shared among different atoms. This conditions is satisfied for the bonds between non-metals

A sample of gas (1.9 mol) is in a flask at 21 °C and 697 mm Hg. The flask is opened and more gas is added to the flask. The new
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: There are now 2.07 moles of gas in the flask.

Explanation:

PV=nRT

P= Pressure of the gas = 697 mmHg = 0.92 atm  (760 mmHg= 1 atm)

V= Volume of gas = volume of container = ?

n = number of moles = 1.9

T = Temperature of the gas = 21°C=(21+273)K= 294 K   (0°C = 273 K)

R= Value of gas constant = 0.0821 Latm\K mol

V=\frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{1.9\times 0.0821 \times 294}{0.92}=49.8L

When more gas is added to the flask. The new pressure is 775 mm Hg and the temperature is now 26 °C, but the volume remains same.Thus again using ideal gas equation to find number of moles.

PV=nRT

P= Pressure of the gas = 775 mmHg = 1.02 atm  (760 mmHg= 1 atm)

V= Volume of gas = volume of container = 49.8 L

n = number of moles = ?

T = Temperature of the gas = 26°C=(26+273)K= 299 K   (0°C = 273 K)

R= Value of gas constant = 0.0821 Latm\K mol

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{1.02\times 49.8}{0.0821\times 299}=2.07moles

Thus the now the container contains 2.07 moles.

A radioactive nuclide is used to detect eye tumors. An atom of this radionuclide contains 15 protons, 15 electrons, and
statuscvo [17]

Answer: ³²P

Explanation:

The radionuclide in question is known as Phosphorus-32. It is an isotope of Phosphorus that is radioactive and has one more neutron than the normal phosphorus does.

Phosphorus does not exist in nature and is created artificially by bombarding the normal stable phosphorus with neutrons. Due to its radioactive nature, it has proven to be useful in the medical industry where it has been used to detect eye tumors as well as in treating some diseases.

Wewaii [24]
When energy transforms into mass, the amount of energy does not remain the same. When mass transforms into energy, the amount of energy also does not remain the same. However, the amount of matter and energy remains the same. ... You would weigh much less on the Moon because it is only about one-sixth the mass of Earth. So the answer is D
