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.

En el laboratorio, un vaso precipitado vacío tiene una masa de 0,50 kg. Este vaso se llena con 300 cm3 de una solución saturada

Answer:

Density = 0.0007667 Kg/cm³

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass of empty beaker = 0.50 kg

Volume of solution = 300 cm³

Mass of glass+solution = 730 g

To find the density of the solution in the glass;

First of all, we would convert the value in grams to kilograms.

Conversion:

1000 grams = 1 kg

730 = X kg

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 730/1000 = 0.73 kg

Next, we would determine the mass of the solution.

Mass of solution = Mass of glass+solution - Mass of empty beaker

Mass of solution = 0.73 - 0.50

Mass of solution = 0.23 kg

Lastly, we would solve for the density of the solution;

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the formula;

Density = \frac {mass}{volume}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Density = \frac {0.23}{300}

Density = 0.0007667 Kg/cm³
