Answer:
a. The apparatus required to purify gypsum sample are: Bunsen burner, beaker, Filter Funnel, stirring rod, the filter paper.
b. Gypsum is a sulfate mineral that is made up of calcium sulfate dihydrate. Step-by-step instruction to purify gypsum sample is as follows:
1. Add water to the gypsum sample in a beaker.
2. Use the stirring rod to mix the mixture well.
3. Filter off the excess solid from the mixture using the filter paper and filter funnel.
4. Put the filtered mixture over the bunsen burner and evaporate the excess water from the mixture.
5. Allow the hot liquid to cool down and filter it again through the filter paper to get the pure gypsum.

Answer:

Explanation:
A covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons to make the atoms more stable, and so they satisfy the Octet Rule (8 valence electrons).
Typically each atom contributes an electron to form an electron pair. This is a single bond. There are also double bonds (two pairs of electrons), triple bonds (three pairs of electrons), and coordinate covalent bonds.
Sometimes, to satisfy the Octet Rule and achieve stability, one atom contributes both of the electrons in an electron pair. This is different from other covalent bonds because usually each of the 2 atoms contributes an electron to make a pair.
