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

A scientist measures the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction to be 67.9 kJ:
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

-252.5 kJ/mol = ΔH H2O(g)

Explanation:

ΔH Fe2O3 = -825.5kJ/mol

ΔH H2 = 0kJ/mol

ΔH Fe = 0kJ/mol

Based on Hess's law, ΔH of a reaction is the sum of ΔH of products - ΔH of reactants. For the reaction:

Fe2O3(s) + 3 H2(g) →2Fe(s) + 3 H2O(g)

ΔHr = 67.9kJ/mol = 3*ΔH H2O + 2*ΔHFe - (ΔH Fe2O3 + 3*Δ H2)

67.9kJ/mol = 3*ΔH H2O + 2*0kJ/mol - (ΔH -825.5kJ/mol + 3*Δ H2)

67.9 = 3*ΔH H2O(g) + 825.5kJ/mol

-757.6kJ/mol = 3*ΔH H2O(g)

<h3>-252.5 kJ/mol = ΔH H2O(g)</h3>

What happens at the melting point temperature of a substance?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Melting point, temperature at which the solid and liquid forms of a pure substance can exist in equilibrium. As heat is applied to a solid, its temperature will increase until the melting point is reached. More heat then will convert the solid into a liquid with no temperature change.
