Metals don't form covalent bonds because of the low ionization energes of the metal atoms. It is easier for them to release electrons rather than sharing it. But this is not always the case, there are some metals that can form covalent bonds.
<u>Answer:</u> The above reaction is non-spontaneous.
<u>Explanation:</u>
For the given chemical reaction:

Here, nickel is getting reduced because it is gaining electrons and iron is getting oxidized because it is loosing electrons.
We know that:

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.
To calculate the
of the reaction, we use the equation:


Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

As, the standard electrode potential of the cell is coming out to be negative for the above cell. Thus, the standard Gibbs free energy change of the reaction will become positive making the reaction non-spontaneous.
Hence, the above reaction is non-spontaneous.
To determine the mass of the sample, first find the volume difference after and before the aluminum was placed, the volume change is equal to the volume of the submerged object, in this case aluminum.
Then knowing volume of aluminum and the density of it, we can solve for the mass.
D = m/v
Dv = m
2.7 g/ml • 8 ml = 21.6 grams.
The distance between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom in the co molecule is 0.63
<h3>What is the distance?</h3>
Distance is the measurement of the farness of two objects from each other.
The distance between the molecules can be calculated by the given formula

Putting the values in the equation

Thus, the distance between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom in the co molecule is 0.63
