What causes atoms to form covalent bonds?

Chemistry

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.

statuscvo [17]

Nomenclature and common formula. When part of a salt, the formula of the acetate ion is written as CH3CO2−, C2H3O2−, or CH3COO−. Chemists abbreviate acetate as OAc− or, less commonly, AcO−. Thus, HOAc is the abbreviation for acetic acid, NaOAc for sodium acetate, and EtOAc for ethyl acetate.

A certain metal M forms a soluble sulfate salt MSO, Suppose the left half cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 3.0
dimaraw [331]

Explanation:

It is known that for high concentration of M^{2+}, reduction will take place. As, cathode has a positive charge and it will be placed on left hand side.

Now, E^{o}_{cell} = 0 and the general reaction equation is as follows.

         M^{2+} + M \rightarrow M + M^{2+}

                3.00 M        n = 2       30 mM

         E = 0 - \frac{0.0591}{2} log \frac{50 \times 10^{-3}}{1}

            = -\frac{0.0591}{2} log (5 \times 10^{-2})

            = 0.038 V

Therefore, we can conclude that voltage shown by the voltmeter is 0.038 V.

Cr2o2−7(aq)+i−(aq)→cr3+(aq)+io−3(aq) (acidic solution) express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in
Rashid [163]
<span>Answer: Nothing is balanced in your final equation: not H, not O, not Cr, not I and your charges aren't either. Start with your 2 half reactions: I- --> IO3- Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+ Balance O by adding H2O: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Balance H by adding H+: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+ Cr2O72- + 14 H+ --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Balance charge by adding e-: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+ + 6 e- Cr2O72- + 14 H+ + 6 e- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Since the numbers of electrons in your two half reactions are the same, just add them and simplify to give: Cr2O72- + I- + 8 H+ --> IO3- + 2 Cr3+ + 4 H2O</span>

When you put an ice cube into a glass of room temperature water, why does the water get cold?
mel-nik [20]
The water gets cold because the ice cube is endothermic. Which means it takes in heat. It takes the warmth from the water and melts the ice cube which the ice cube releases coldness which cools down the water.
