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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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

Please show the work :(What is the estimated force applied to the box if the acceleration is .40 m/s2?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

20N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

        Force(N)     Acceleration(m/s²)  

            10                   0.2

           ?                      0.4

Unknown:

The force applied when the acceleration is 0.4m/s²

Solution:

From newton's second law of motion;

 Force = mass x acceleration

 Since we are using the same box, let us find the mass of the box;

      Force  = mass x acceleration

         10 = mass x 0.2

            mass = \frac{10}{0.2}  = 50kg

Now,

 The force in the second instance will be;

      Force  = 50 x 0.4  = 20N

Compare and contrast an electric generator and a battery??
anygoal [31]
Both generators and batteries both convert a form of energy into electrical energy. In a battery, a chemical reaction takes place which converts chemical energy into electrical energy. In a generator however, many times mechanical energy is being converted into electrical energy. A process called electromagnetic induction can take place in some generator which is where an electromagnet is used to help conduct electricity. hope this helped!!!
