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

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.

A sample of a compound contains 160 g of oxygen and 20.2 g of hydrogen. Give the compound's empirical formula.
Maslowich
Amount of oxygen in the compound = 160 g
Amount of oxygen in the compound = 20.2 gm
Mole of oxygen in the compound = 160/16
                                                     = 10 moles
Mole of hydrogen in the compound = 20.2/1.01
                                                         = 20 moles
Then
The ratio of oxygen to ration of hydrogen = 1:2
So
The empirical formula of the compound is H2O. I hope the answer has come to your help.

Calculate the standard potential, e∘, for this reaction from its equilibrium constant at 298 k. x(s)+y4+(aq)↽−−⇀x4+(aq)+y(s)k=4.
laila [671]
First, we need to get the number of moles:

from the reaction equation when Y4+ takes 4 electrons and became Y, X loses 4 electrons and became X4+  

∴ the number of moles n = 4

we are going to use this formula:

㏑K = n *F *E/RT

when K is the equilibrium constant = 4.98 x 10^-5

and F is Faraday's constant = 96500

and the constant R = 8.314

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 298 K

and n is number of moles of electrons = 4 

so, by substitution:

㏑4.98 x 10^-5 = 4*96500*E / 8.314*298

∴E = -0.064 V

Compare and contrast the ease at which molecules are able to move relative to each other in the three states of matter
ANTONII [103]
The arrangement of molecules within the 3 phases of matter are shown in the picture. 

For the solid, the molecules are packed closely together. They don't have much space to move, so they just practically vibrate. For the liquid, the molecules are relatively farther from each other. The liquid molecules can flow freely but not as much as the gases. In the gases, the molecules are very far from each other. They are very sensitive to slight changes of pressure, volume and temperature.
