Answer: C) Non-metals can share pairs of electrons and form covalent bonds
Explanation: The principal reason why it is non-metals that can form covalent bonds is because of their electronegativities. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.
The participating atoms in a covalent bond have to be able to hold the shared electron in place & it is this attraction towards the centre of each participating atom that holds the electrons in place. Metals aren't electronegative, they don't attract electrons towards each other, they'd rather even push the electrons away from themselves (electropositive) to be stable. The closest concept of metals to shared electrons is in metallic bonding, where metals push and donate their valence electrons to an electron cloud which is free to move around the bulk of the metallic structure. But this is nowhere near the type of bonding that exist in covalent bonds.
Answer:
Chlorine
Explanation:
Chlorine has an atomic number of 17 and a configuration of 2, 8, 7. In the outermost shell, it has 7 seven electrons which means that it needs just one more electron to attain an octet configuration in that shell. Therefore it's can react quickly with any nearby nucleophile.
Answer:
It will lead to overestimation of the percent recovery
Explanation:
The percent recovery refers to the percentage of the pure compound recovered after a chemical process. It is a ratio of the pure compound recovered to the original substance multiplied by 100%.
If the sample was incompletely dried and the recrystallization solvent is still present, the percent recovery will be overestimated and we will have a value that is greater than the accurate percent recovery due to solvent impurities present.
Data can arranged into visual displays called graphs. There are multiple types of graphs such as bar graphs, line graphs, scatter plots, and pie charts.
hopefully this helps :)
