Answer:

A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus

Explanation:

  • Covalent bond is the bond which is formed with the sharing of the electrons between the two atoms which are taking part in the bond. It is generally formed between the atoms with similar electronegativity values.
  • It is the bond which is generally occurs within non metals as they share electrons to complete their octet.
  • The difference in the electronegativity values of the atoms involving in a covalent bond must not exceed the value of 1.7 .

Thus, the electrons are attracted by the two different nucleus of the atoms that are taking part in the bonding.

<u>So, the correct answer is:- A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus</u>

How many miles of NaOH will completely react with 10.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl?
Naddik [55]
The reaction between 1 mole of NaOH and 1 mole of HCl creates 1 mole of NaCl and 1 mole of water. Meaning that the moles of HCl needs to equal that of NaOH for the solution to be considered equalized. That being said, you first need to find the numbers miles of HCl by multiplying the volume by the molarity to get 0.01 moles HCl. (1Mx0.01L=0.01). That means that you need 0.01 moles of NaOH. I hope that helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Give TWO examples of energy conversion that produces unwanted forms of energy.
34kurt

For example, consider the energy used by an electric fan. The amount of electrical energy used is greater than the kinetic energy of the moving fan blades. Because energy is always conserved, some of the electrical energy flowing into the fan's motor is obviously changed into unusable or unwanted forms.

Why is copper (i) sulfate Cu2So4^-2? not copper (ii)?
const2013 [10]
Copper (I) oxidation state is 1 Cu2So4
copper (II) oxidation state is +2 CuSo4
copper (i) also give up one electron so you need two of them to react with the sulfate ion (which has charge of -2)
and also all metallic ions have an multiple oxidation levels corresponding to the number of electrons they can exchange or loose
Hope this helps
