A non-metal usually forms 2 covalent bonds in its compounds.How many electrons will it take in its valence shell?

Chemistry

iVinArrow [24]3 years ago

In covalent bonds, non-metals share electrons to attain full valence shells.

This non-metal usually forms 2 covalent bonds. This leads me to believe that it has 6 valence electrons to begin with and will take 2 more, one from each bonds. Such that it ends with a full valence shell of 8 electrons.

The net force on a vehicle that is accelerating at a rate of 1.2 m/s² is 1500 newtons. What is the mass
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

1250kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Acceleration  = 1.2m/s²

Force  = 1500N

Unknown:

Mass on the vehicle  = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law of motion:

  Force  = mass x acceleration

Since mass is the unknown, insert the parameters and solve;

       1500  = mass x 1.2

        mass = \frac{1500}{1.2}   = 1250kg

What is the thermal energy needed to vaporize 18.02g of water at 100°C? The Heat of Vaporization for water is 40.650 kJ/mol.
podryga [215]

Answer:

40.7 kJ

Explanation:

Applying,

q = c'n.................. Equation 1

Where q = Thermal Heat, c' = Heat of vaporization of water, n = number of mole of water.

But,

n = mass(m)/Molar mass(m')

n = m/m'............... Equation 2

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

q = c'(m/m')............. Equation 3

Given: c' = 40.650 KJ/mol, m = 18.02 g

Constant: m' = 18 g/mol

Substitute into equation 3

q = 40.650(18.02/18)

q = 40.695 kJ

q ≈ 40.7 kJ

Why do some atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?
kenny6666 [7]
It depends on the location on the periodic table and if it is easier to loose are gain electrons to fill the valence electron shell.

The electron affinity of the neutral atom of the element can show indicate whether or not the element is going the make positive or negative ions.  The higher the electron affinity is, the more the neutral atom wants to gain electrons.  The electron affinity for alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are low due to the fact that they are located on the left of the periodic table and only needs to loose 1 or 2 electrons to have a completed valence shell.  That means that they want to form cations (loose electrons).  Halogens have a high electron affinity since they are located on the right of the periodic table and only have to gain 1 electron to get a completed valence electron configuration.  That means that it forms anions.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
