What causes atoms to form covalent bonds?

Chemistry
1 answer:

Sharing of valence electrons.

Explanation:

In a covalent bonds, there is sharing of the valence electrons used in bonding between the two combining species.

The atoms taking part do not have a wide electronegativity difference between them and so they share the valence electrons to complete their octet and ensure their stability.

  • For the formation of this bond type, each of the atom requires a odd or unpaired electrons.
  • Covalent bonds are formed between atoms having zero or very small electronegativity difference.

Which aqueous solution has the lowest freezing point c6h12o6, c2h5oh, ch3cooh, or nacl?
Eddi Din [679]
Depression of a freezing point of the solutions depends on the number of particles of the solute in the solution.
1 mol of C6H12O6 after dissolving in water still be 1 mol, because C6H12O6 does no dissociate in water.
1 mol of C2H5OH after dissolving in water still be 1 mol, because C2H5OH does no dissociate in water.
1 mol of NaCl after dissolving in water gives 2 mol of particles (ions), because NaCl is a strong electrolyte(as salt) and completely dissociates in water.
NaCl ----->Na⁺ + Cl⁻
1 mol of CH3COOH after dissolving in water gives more than 1 mol but less than 2 moles, because CH3COOH is a weak electrolyte (weak acid) and dissociates  only partially. 

So, most particles of the solute is going to be in the solution of NaCl, 
so<span> the lowest freezing point has the aqueous solution of NaCl.</span>

The equilibrium constant for the reaction of carbon monoxide with water is 1.845. if 1.00 mol of each reactant is placed in a 2.
SpyIntel [72]
[CO] = 1 mol / 2L = 0.5 M

According to the equation:

and by using the ICE table:

             CO(g) + H2O(g) ↔   CO2(g) + H2(g)

initial     0.5            0.5                    0          0

change  -X              -X                   +X         +X
     
Equ       (0.5-X)       (0.5-X)                     X            X

when Kc = X^2 * (0.5-X)^2

by substitution:

1.845 = X^2 * (0.5-X)^2  by solving for X 

∴X = 0.26

∴ [CO2] = X = 0.26

a sample of sulfur dioxide occupies a volume of 652 mL at 40.0 C and 0.75 atm. What volume will the sulfur dioxide occupy at STP
sesenic [268]

The volume that sulfur dioxide will occupy with a volume of 652 mL at 40.0°C and 0.75 atm is 0.019moles. Details about volume can be found below.

<h3>How to calculate volume?</h3>

The volume of a gas can be calculated using the following formula:

PV = nRT

  • P = pressure
  • V = volume
  • n = number of moles
  • R = gas law constant
  • T = temperature

0.75 × 0.652 = n × 0.0821 × 313

0.489 = 25.69n

n = 0.489/25.69

n = 0.019moles

Therefore, the volume that sulfur dioxide will occupy with a volume of 652 mL at 40.0°C and 0.75 atm is 0.019moles.
