Answer: option C - Carbon and Hydrogen have similar electronegativity values.

Explanation:

Carbon form COVALENT compounds with hydrogen. Examples are methane CH4, ethane C2H6, propane C3H8.

Electronegativity is the power to attract electrons. It is used to predict whether a bond will be covalent OR not. It can also be used to predict if the resulting molecule will be polar or nonpolar

Thus, Carbon with an electronegativity value of 2.55; and Hydrogen with 2.20 shows close similarities and THUS result in NONPOLAR and COVALENT BOND of Propane

Metals have low ionization energies and readily share their ________ or outer electrons with each other to form an electron ____
Dmitry [639]

Explanation:

Metals are the species which readily lose electrons in order to attain stability. This electron lost by the atom is actually present in its outermost shell which is also known as valence shell.

Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.

When we move across a period from left to right then there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. Therefore, ionization energy increases along a period.  

But when we move down a group then there occurs an increase in atomic size of the atoms due to addition of number of electrons in the atoms. Hence, ionization energy decreases along a group.

Thus, we can conclude that metals have low ionization energies and readily share their valence or outer electrons with each other to form an electron sea. These electrons are delocalized or shared among all the atoms that are bonded together and can therefore move freely throughout the metal structure.
