Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A carbon atom is a group 14 element that has atomic number 6. Electronic distribution of carbon atom is 2, 4.

So, there are four valence electrons presents in a carbon atom. In order to attain stability carbon atom needs to be bonded to four electrons of another atom.

A carbon atom usually bonds with another atom by sharing of electrons.

Hence, we can conclude that a carbon atom is able to form covalent bonds with other atoms.

Tom [10]

Answer:

(B.) The pH of a buffer solution is determined by the ratio of the concentration of conjugate base to the concentration of strong acid.
(C.) A buffer is generally made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base. 
(D.) The pH of a buffer solution does not change significantly when any amount of a strong acid is added.

Explanation:

A buffer is solution which resists change in pH upon addition of either acids or bases.

The pH of a buffer is calculated by the ratio of the concentration of base to concentration of acid. The weak acid and conjugate base have a Ka similar to the pH desired.

What are the steps used to write ionic formulas for ionic compounds

lorasvet [3.4K]

Write the symbols for the cation and the anion: Mg and Cl. Determine the charge on the cation and anion. If the cation has a Roman numeral after it, that is the charge on that cation. Cations receive Roman numerals when they can take more than one ionicform.
