Answer:

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards itself and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

Non polar covalent bond:

It is the bond where both bonded atoms share the pair of electron equally.

For example:

Hydrogen gas (H₂) is non polar covalent compound because the electronegativity of both bonded atoms are same. No poles are created that's why this is non polar covalent compound.

Polar covalent bond:

It is the bond where both bonded atoms share the pair of electron unequally.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive and bond is polar.

In general, ionic compounds are hard solids at ambient temperatures but they shatter fairly easily. How do these two properties
lord [1]

Ionic or electrovalent compounds support the theory of ionic bonding because they are compounds composed of charged particles formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.

Electrovalent compounds posses:

  • High boiling and melting points.
  • Form crystals.

<h3>What is ionic bonding?</h3>

This is the transfer of valence electrons from metals to non metals to form ionic compounds. It also refers to a chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges.

Please help me #6!!!!!!!!
Vesnalui [34]
I believe that the answer is 12 because there is already 3 O molecules and since its in parentheses with 3 outside it that means that there are 3 of those CO molecules meaning that for every 1 CO there will be 3 O’s so 3, four times Is 12

Which one of the following classes of organic compound does not contain the carbonyl (C=O) group?A) aldehydesB) carboxylic acids
vredina [299]

Answer: alcohols

Explanation:

The carbonyl group refers to C=O. It is contained in aldehyde, Ketones, carboxylic acids , esters, amides and acyl chlorides. They are not found in alcohols. The alchols are generally ROH. They do not contain any carbon-oxygen unsaturated bond in their structure hence the answer.
