6 0

Answer:

To gain stability

Explanation:

If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.

Sea water contains roughly 158.0g of Nacl per liter. What is the molarity of sodium chloride in sea water?
IrinaK [193]
Molar mass NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

C = 158.0 g/L

Molarity =  C / molar mass

M = 158.0 / 58.5

M = 2.7000 M

hope this helps!

Joebert had a rectangular cup and filled it with water. He measured the water's mass and volume. Then he got a density of 1.25g/
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Percent error = 25%

Explanation:

Given data:

Measured density of water = 1.25 g/mL

Accepted density value of water = 1 g/mL

Percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Percent error = (measured value - accepted value / accepted value) × 100

Now we will put the values in formula:

Percent error = (1.25 g/mL - 1 g/mL /1 g/mL )× 100

Percent error = (0.25 g/mL /1 g/mL )× 100

Percent error = 0.25 × 100

Percent error = 25%

What type of bond is formed between different molecules of water
boyakko [2]
The hydrogen and oxygen atoms that combine to form water molecules are bound together by covalent bonds. The electron from the hydrogen splits its time between the incomplete outer shell of the hydrogen atom and the incomplete outer shell of the oxygen atom.
