Answer:
1. Covalent bonds can form between two nonmetal atoms.
2. Covalent bonds can form between atoms of the same element.
3. Covalent bonds can form between atoms of different elements.
Explanation:
I hope this helps u! :D
Explanation:
B. positive because y increases as x does. It it were negative y would decrease as x increases and it would be 0 if y stayed the same as x increases.
Answer:
barium and silicon has same valence electrons
Explanation:
barium-2,8,18,18,8,2
neon-2,8
silicon-2,8,2,2
carbon-2,4
The answer is 2 electrons.
The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2
Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements. Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.
Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known as an ionic compound.
For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas, calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
The answer is true. One neutral atom of carbon has four valence electrons.
An easy way of finding out is to check out the periodic table and look at which main number group the element is in. Carbon is in group number four, which would mean it has four valence electrons.
Hope I was able to help!
