Answer: Option B) All metals lose one or more valence electrons to become stable, giving them a positive oxidation number.

Explanation:

Yes! metals such as cadmium, sodium, aluminum etc all lose their outermost electrons to nonmetals in chemical reactions to become stable (having an octet or duplet structure), and forming a positively charged ion.

For instance: To form sodium chloride, NaCl Sodium Na, loses its single outermost electron to Chlorine

Na --> Na+ + e-

Thus, Na+ means sodium has a positive oxidation number of +1, and is with a octet stable structure of (2,8) instead of (2,8,1)

8. A polar covalent bond is due to: unequal sharing of electrons in a covalent bond. the interaction between an ion and a non-io
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The appropriate option will be Option A (unequal sharing of electrons in a covalent bond).

Explanation:

  • A polar bond seems to be a covalent bond amongst two or even more atoms where there is an uneven distribution of the electrons surrounding the connection.
  • This induces a small electrical magnetic dipole in the molecules whereby the end becomes generally favorable and another is mildly controversial.

The other choices aren't relevant to the situation presented. The answer above would be appropriate.

What kind of bond with form between (options: ionic, polar covalent, non polar covalent or metallic)
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

1) phosphorus and chlorine

type of bond =  polar covalent

They share their electrons and due to difference in electronegativities the form polar covalent bond.

2) potassium and oxygen

type of bond = ionic

Due to high difference in electronegativities the form ionic bond.

3) fluorine and fluorine

type of bond = non polar covalent

They share their electrons and due to same electronegativities the form non polar covalent bond.

4) copper and aluminum

type of bond = metallic

copper and aluminum  make metallic bond like other metals and mostly helpful in making alloys.

5) carbon and fluorine

type of bond = polar covalent

They share their electrons and due to difference in electronegativities the form polar covalent bond.

6) carbon and hydrogen

type of bond = polar covalent

They share their electrons and due to difference in electronegativities the form polar covalent bond.

7) aluminum and oxygen

type of bond = ionic

Due to high difference in electronegativities the form ionic bond.

8) silver and copper

type of bond = metallic

silver and copper  make metallic bond like other metals and mostly helpful in making alloys.
