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

Which of the following is a precipitation reaction?
erik [133]

Answer:

The precipitated are option a and d.

Explanation:

2 LiI(aq) +Hg2(NO3)2(aq)  →  Hg2I2(s) ↓ + 2 LiNO3(aq)

Cation Hg2+ 2 in the presence of iodide,  a precipitated  is formed.

Zn(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → 2 Ag(s) ↓ +Zn(NO3)2(aq)

Zinc starts to get rid, and some white particles also stick to it. Afterwards the solution becomes cloudy and a precipitate appears, which is the solid silver

Use the ideal gas law to calculate the concentrations of nitrogen and oxygen present in air at a pressure of 1.0 atm and a tempe
notka56 [123]

Answer:

[N₂] = 0.032 M

[O₂] = 0.0086 M

Explanation:

Ideal Gas Law → P . V = n .  R . T

We assume that the mixture of air occupies a volume of 1 L

78% N₂ → Mole fraction of N₂ = 0.78

21% O₂  → Mole fraction of O₂ = 0.21

1% another gases  → Mole fraction of another gases = 0.01

In a mixture, the total pressure of the system refers to total moles of the mixture

1 atm . 1L = n . 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 298K

n = 1 L.atm / 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 298K → 0.0409 moles

We apply the mole fraction to determine the moles

N₂ moles / Total moles = 0.78 → 0.78 . 0.0409 mol = 0.032 moles N₂

O₂ moles / Total moles = 0.21 → 0.21 . 0.0409 mol = 0.0086 moles O₂
