Polar Covalent.

This is because both Calcium (Ca) and Carbon (C) are non metals, thus eliminating the ionic option.

It is polar covalent rather than nonpolar covalent due to the fact that the electrons in a polar covalent bond are shared unequally while those in a nonpolar bond are shared equally.

This can be determined by looking at the amount of valence electrons; if the electrons cancel each other out, it is shared equally. If not, it is shared unequally.

Hope this helps!

What is the potential energy of the bowling ball as it sits on top of the building?

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Potential energy is energy due to an object's height above the ground.

Potential energy = mass x gravity x height

Kinetic energy is energy due to the motion of the object.

Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity²

Atoms of which element below are most likely to gain electrons?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Carbon and phosphorus

Explanation:

The atoms of carbon and phosphorus are most likely to gain electrons from the given choices .

The reason for this is because, both carbon and phosphorus are non-metals. Most non-metals usually accept electrons.

Metals are usually electron donors .

Metals are known for their electropositivity which is their ability to lose electrons.
Non-metals are electronegative and will tend to have a strong affinity for electrons.
