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

1 answer:

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

What type of reaction occurs without the addition of heat?

maria [59]

The type of reaction that occurs without the addition of heat is called spontaneous reaction. That is option D.

<h3>What is spontaneous reaction?</h3>

Spontaneous reaction is defined as the reaction where by new substances are formed naturally without the addition of extra energy in the form of heat.

Therefore, the type of reaction that occurs without the addition of heat is called spontaneous reaction

At standard temperature and pressure. 0.500 mole of xenon gas occupies

ANEK [815]

Answer:

0.500 mole of Xe (g) occupies 11.2 L at STP.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Gas Laws

STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K

Stoichiometry

Mole ratio
Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify.

0.500 mole Xe (g)

Step 2: Convert

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 0.500 \ \text{mole Xe} \bigg( \frac{22.4 \ \text{L Xe}}{1 \ \text{mole Xe}} \bigg)$
[DA] Evaluate: $\displaystyle 0.500 \ \text{mole Xe} \bigg( \frac{22.4 \ \text{L Xe}}{1 \ \text{mole Xe}} \bigg) = 11.2 \ \text{L Xe}$
