Answer:

The single covalent bond is represented by a single ' - ' and it has 2 shared electrons from the the bonding atoms.

Double covalent bond is denoted with '=' and it has 4 shared electrons

Triple covalent bond is denoted by ' _=' and it has 6 shared electrons

Explanation:

In single covalent bond each participating atom contributes one electron each to be equally shared between them in order to form a single covalent bond. Thus a single covalent bond is formed when atoms share 2 electrons together

The double covalent bond is formed when each participating atom contributes two electrons each to be equally shared between them in order to form a double covalent bond. Thus a double covalent bond results from the sharing of 4 electrons together by two atoms. For example the formation of oxygen gas molecule

In triple covalent bonds, 6 electrons are shared and each pair of electrons forms a bond which results in triple covalent bonds. Each atom contributes 3 electrons for equal sharing.

Answer

A *single covalent bond* is formed by sharing one pair of valence electrons.They are less reactive comparatviely and have a high bond length

A *double covalent bond* is formed by sharing two pairs of valence electrons.They are moderately reactive and have moderate bond length.

A *triple covalent bond* is formed by sharing three pairs of valence electrons.They are highly reactive and have a low bond length.

As a quality control check, a sample of acetone is taken from a process to determine the concentration of suspended particulate

Yuri [45]

Answer:

The volume of the sample given is 850 ml, the density given is 0.79 gram per cm. Now the weight of the sample will be,

Weight = volume × density = 850 × 0.79

= 671.5 grams

Weight of the suspended solids given is 0.001 gram

The concentration of the sample can be determined by using the formula,

Concentration = wt. of sample/volume

= [671.5 - 0.001) 10³ mg / 0.85 L

= 789998.82 mg/L or 789998.82 ppm

Now the concentration of suspended solids is.

Css = 0.001 × 10³ mg / 0.85 L = 1.1764 mg per L or 1.1764 ppm

0.70 g of hydrogen chloride (HCl) is dissolved in water to make 5.0 L of solution. What is the pH of the resulting hydrochloric

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

( About ) 2.42 pH

Explanation:

First convert grams to mole of the hydrochloric acid,

HCl ( moles ) = 0.7g * ( 1 mole / 36.5g ),

0.7 / 36.5 = ( About ) 0.0192 moles

Now take the moles as a fraction over the given liters, to determine " M, " the apparent pH

M = 0.0192 mole / 5.0 L,

M = 0.00384M

_________________________________________________

Because HCl is a strong acid and will completely ionized, take a look at the steps below,

[ H+ ] = 0.00384M pH = -log[H+] = - log[0.00384],

- log[0.00384] = - ( - 2.41566... )

Solution = ( About ) 2.42 pH

How can gravity overcome temperature and diffusion forces of gasses?

svp [43]

Gravity acts on gases as the molecules have mass. However, they are more influenced by temperature at our normal temperature range. At 25°C, the effect of temperature on molecular motion is about 30000 times higher than gravity forces. Thus, in gases, diffusion is more prominent compared to gravity.
