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 difference between single displacement reaction and double displacement reaction are:

Explanation:

in the chemical reaction an atom in a molecule is replaced by another atom forming the end product .this type of chemical reaction involved only two reactants for example zinc + copper sulphate give us copper sulphate + copper.double displacement reaction is the reaction in which two compounds react together to form two other compounds by mutual exchange of other ions is called double displacement reaction.this type of reaction is involved two or more than two reactants.for example AG and O3 + NaCl give us agcl + nano3

Solve the question that follows using the equation for the conversion of Celsius to Fahrenheit. F=95(C)+32 On February 9, 1934,

Answer:

Buffalo, NY was colder on February 9, 1934

Explanation:

Temperature is the measure of thermal energy present in a given substance. It is a physical property of a matter which can be measured on the Celsius scale (°C), Fahrenheit scale (°F), and Kelvin scale (K).

To convert Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F), we use the equation:

°F = 9/5 (°C) + 32

Given: On February 9, 1934,

Temperature in Buffalo, NY: T₁ = (- 29) °C

Temperature in Anchorage, AL: T₂ = 19 °F

To convert T₁ from °C to °F:

9/5 (- 29 °C) + 32 = (- 52.2) + 32 = (- 20.2) °F

So,

Temperature in Buffalo, NY: T₁ = (- 20.2) °F

Temperature in Anchorage, AL: T₂ = 19 °F

⇒ T₁ < T₂

Therefore, Buffalo, NY was colder on February 9, 1934.
