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

C. Carbon forms strong, stable bonds with up to four other atoms, including other carbon atoms.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Carbon atoms can bond with many things and they have 4 valence electrons and they only need 4 more electrons to fill the outer shell. They also can form chains that are unlimited in length</u></em>.
  • The properties of carbon make it the backbone of the organic molecules which form living matter. <em><u>Carbon is a such a versatile element because it can form four covalent bonds. Also its skeletons, can vary in length, branching and ring structure.</u></em>

Answer:

2. V_2=17L

3. V=82.9L

Explanation:

Hello there!

2. In this case, we can evidence the problem by which volume and temperature are involved, so the Charles' law is applied to:

\frac{V_2}{T_2}=\frac{V_1}{T_1}

Thus, considering the temperatures in kelvins and solving for the final volume, V2, we obtain:

V_2=\frac{V_1T_2}{T_1}

Therefore, we plug in the given data to obtain:

V_2=\frac{18.2L(22+273)K}{(45+273)K} \\\\V_2=17L

3. In this case, it is possible to realize that the 3.7 moles of neon gas are at 273 K and 1 atm according to the STP conditions; in such a way, considering the ideal gas law (PV=nRT), we can solve for the volume as shown below:

V=\frac{nRT}{P}

Therefore, we plug in the data to obtain:

V=\frac{3.7mol*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273.15K}{1atm}\\\\V=82.9L

Best regards!

List the bonding pairs H and I; S and O; K and Br; Si and Cl, H and F; Se and S; C and H in order of increasing covalent charact
stellarik [79]

Answer:

1. (S,O) < (Se,S) < (C,H) = (H,I) = (H,F) < (Si,Cl) < (K,Br)

Explanation:

The covalent character always increases down the group, this is because ionic character decreases down the group and also electronegativity.

In the same way, Covalent character always decreases across a period because electronegativity increases across a period.

The higher the electronegativity values between the two atoms, the more ionic it will be.

What is the total number of strontium and phosphate ions you have added to your solution after two or three shakes? why are ther
Brrunno [24]

<span>Assuming that there are 36 strontium and 24 phosphate, there aren’t any equal cations and anoins because in theory only one ionic bond is formed by a strontium with each phosphate ion. To the point that a cation will eventually have an excess.</span>

If Oxygen were to gain 2 electrons, the new electron configuration for the oxide ion
Naddika [18.5K]
It would be most similar to neon. it wouldn’t be sulfur because that’s in the same group as oxygen and has the same number of electrons. and carbon has less than that so the only one that makes sense is neon

0.44 mL/min to microliters per second
SashulF [63]

Answer:

7 μl /s

Explanation:

Given data:

0.44 mL/min

μl /s = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the mL/min to mL/s.

we will divide the given value by 60.

0.44/60

0.007 mL/s

Now we will convert the mL/s to μl /s.

we will multiply the value with 1000.

0.007 × 1000

7 μl /s
