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.

An antacid tablet was dissolved in water and 10mL of 0.16M HCl was added. After the acid had reacted with the tablet it required
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

0.0008 mole of HCl

Explanation:

From the balanced equation between HCl and NaOH:

HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H_2O

1 mole of acid requires 1 mole of base for neutralization.

mole = molarity x volume

mole of NaOH = 0.02 x 0.04 = 0.0008 mole

mole HCl = 0.16 x 0.01 = 0.0016 mole

Since 1 mole of NaOH requires 1 mole of HCl for neutralization, it means that 0.0008 mole of NaOH will require 0.0008 mole of HCl. The remaining mole of HCl must have been neutralized by the antiacid:

0.0016 - 0.0008 = 0.0008 mole.

Therefore, 0.0008 mole of HCl must have been neutralized by the antiacid.

Name 2 different types of local winds and explain each.please.
marshall27 [118]
1. Planetary Winds:

The winds blowing through­out the year from one latitude to another in response to latitudinal differences in air pressure are called “planetary or prevailing winds”. They involve large areas of the globe.

4. Periodic Winds:

Periodic winds change their direction periodically with the change in season, e.g., Monsoons, Land and Sea Breezes, Mountain and Valley Breezes.

Equipment grounding conductors are the conductive path(s) installed to connect normally non–current-carrying metal parts of equi
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

TRUE                          

Explanation:

An Equipment grounding conductor are used to ground a non current-carrying metallic parts of any equipment. Its main function is to keep the equipment close to the ground potential as possible and is also allows a safer path for the ground-fault current to flow. If the equipment is grounded, all the excess current will go to the ground and will not damage the equipment.

Hence the answer is TRUE.
