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.

7. A nonpolar covalent bond (i.e., pure covalent) would form in which one of the following pairs of atoms? A) Na Cl B) H Cl C) L

padilas [110]

Answer:

E) Br Br

Explanation:

Covalent bond -

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 .

A covalent bond to be non polar in nature , then the atoms need to have almost similar electronegativity , so that they won't split into partial negative and partial positive charge .

Hence , from the given options of the question ,

E) Br Br , both the atoms are same , hence same electronegativity , therefore are non - polar in nature .

Cobalt-60 is a strong gamma emitter that has a half- life of 5.26 yr. The co balt-60 in a radiotherapy unit must be replaced whe

Alenkasestr [34]

<u>Answer:</u> The sample of Cobalt-60 isotope must be replaced in January 2027

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half life of the reaction = 5.26 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{5.26yrs}=0.132yrs^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $0.132yr^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process = (100 - 75) = 25 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.132=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{25}\\\\t=10.5yrs$

The original sample was purchased in June 2016

As, June is the 6th month of the year, which means the time period will be $2016+\frac{6}{12}=2016.5$

Adding the time in the original time period, we get:

$2016.5+10.5=2027$

Hence, the sample of Cobalt-60 isotope must be replaced in January 2027

Nuclear energy can be used to power _______. a. street lights b. businesses c. homes d. all of the above Please select the best

Taya2010 [7]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

All the above

-street lights

-businesses

- Homes, etc

<h3><u>Explanation; </u></h3>

Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms in a reactor to heat water into steam, turn a turbine and generate electricity.
Nuclear reactions are used to release nuclear energy that generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant.
Because nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions.
Nuclear energy may be used in a wide variety of fields as it generates high levels of electricity without causing damage to our environment and atmosphere.

If a sample of N2 gas has an initial pressure of 500 Torr and volume of 0.5 L, what will the final volume be if the pressure is

kherson [118]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.4 L

Explanation:

P₁ (initial pressure) = 500 torr
V₁ (initial volume) = 0.5 L
P₂ (final pressure) = 700 torr

<u>Wanted:</u>

V₂ (final volume)

<u>Equation:</u>

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ → V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

<u>Solution:</u>

V₂ = $\frac{(500 torr)(0.5 L)}{700 torr}$ = 0.3571 L or 0.4 L
