What happens to the atoms of most nonmetals when they react with other elements

Chemistry
1 answer:
LekaFEV [45]4 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Non-metals are the species which tend to gain electrons from a donor atom in order to attain stability.

Therefore, when a non-metal reacts with another non-metal then there will always be formation of a covalent bond. As covalent bonds are formed due to sharing of electrons.

For example, Cl_{2} is formed by sharing of electrons.

On the other hand, when a non-metal reacts with a metal then there will be formation of an ionic bond.

For example, LiCl is formed by transfer of electron from Li to Cl atom.

Thus, we can conclude that atoms of most non-metals share electrons and become bonded together into a molecule.

What is the relationship between the ridge<br> and the age of sediment?<br> Plzzz helppp:(
leva [86]

Answer:

The sediments accumulating on and around mid-ocean ridges are mostly formed from the calcareous and siliceous tests of pelagic organisms. This research is concerned with understanding how the rate of sediment supply varies from place to place due to varied productivity of pelagic organisms, how the sediments accumulate on the complex topography of a mid-ocean ridge, and with using the sediments to study mid-ocean ridge processes such as faulting and volcanism.

Sediment transport and accumulation

When pelagic materials reach the seafloor, they are redistributed by bottom currents and by sedimentary flows. This work studied the form of the accumulation using sediment profiler records collected with a Deep Tow system from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography deployed over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the early 1970s. The records showed that both sets of transport processes are important. The shapes of deposits were studied to see to what extent they conform to the diffusion transport model - many deposits have parabolic surfaces, which are the steady state forms expected from the diffusion transport model under boundary conditions of constant input or output flux to basins.

How many atoms are in 3 NaCl?
Assoli18 [71]

Explanation:

Sodium Chloride or NaCl is made up of two elements, sodium (or Na) and chlorine (or Cl). A molecule of sodium chloride, NaCl, consists of one atom each of sodium and chlorine. Hence, each molecule of NaCl has 2 atoms total.
