how do covalent bonds form between atoms?why is it that diatomic molecules always form nonpolar covalent bonds?

Chemistry

Covalent bonds are formed when two or more non metal atoms share one or more electrons to achieve stable configuration.
Diatomic molecules form non polar covalent bonds because they are linear and the charge distribution across the bond is the same; therefore, resulting in no net charge.

For the reaction: CH₃OH(g) + heat ↔ CO(g) + 2H₂(g) How will the equilibrium shift if the overall pressure is decreased?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

To the right

Explanation:

CH₃OH(g) + heat <=> CO(g) + 2H₂(g)

According to Le Chatelier's principle, a decrease in pressure will shift the equilibrium position to the side where there is a higher volume.

From the balanced equation above,

Volume of reactant = 1

Volume of product = 1 + 2 = 3

From the above, we can see that the volume of the gasous product is higher than the volume of the gasous reactant.

Therefore, a decrease in the pressure of the system will shift the equilibrium position to the right.

Organize the following list of atoms from lowest to highest Electronegativity:
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Barium<Strontium<Calcium <Magnesium< Beryllium

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the ability of an atom in a bond to attract the shared electrons of the bond towards itself.

Electronegativity is a periodic trend that decreases down the group and increases across the period.

Hence, if i want to arrange Beryllium, Barium, Strontium, Magnesium, Calcium in order of increasing electronegativity, i will have;

Barium<Strontium<Calcium <Magnesium< Beryllium
