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.

In the third period of the periodic table sodium is followed by magnesium aluminum silicon and phosphorus which of these element
wariber [46]
Answer:
            Phosphorous has the smallest atomic size.

Explanation:
                   As we know these elements belong to same period means there valence shell is the same. So moving from left to right along the period the shell number remains constant but the number of protons and electrons increases. So, due to increase in number of protons the nuclear charge increases hence attracts the valence electrons more effectively resulting in the decrease of atomic size.

Elements and their atomic radius are as follow,

<span><span>Magnesium          0.160 nm

Aluminium           0.130 nm

Silicon                  0.118 nm

Phosphorus         <span>0.110 nm</span></span></span>

A sample of 1.7×10^23 molecules of silicon is ____ moles.​
liraira [26]

Answer:

0.28moles of silicon

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of molecules of silicon  = 1.7 x 10²³molecules

Unknown:

Number of moles of the silicon  = ?

Solution:

A mole of any substance contains the Avogadro's number of particles.

   1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³molecules;

  So;

     1.7 x 10²³molecules contains \frac{1.7 x 10^{23} }{6.02 x 10^{23} }   = 0.28moles of silicon

Experimental value of acceleration due to gravity is found to be
KiRa [710]

Answer:

0.33%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Experimental value = 9.842 m/s²

Accepted value = 9.81 m/s²

Percentage error =?

The percentage error in the calculation can be obtained as follow:

Percentage error = |Experimental – Accepted| / Accepted value × 100

Percentage error = |9.842 – 9.81| / 9.81 × 100

Percentage error = 0.032 / 9.81 × 100

Percentage error = 0.33%

Therefore, the error in the calculation is 0.33%
