Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

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

For example, atomic number of phosphorous is 15 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 5.

As it contains 5 valence electrons electrons therefore, it needs 3 more electrons in order to attain stability.

Hence, when one phosphorous atom combines with another phosphorous atom then it results in sharing of electrons. So, there will be formation a triple bond between the two phosphorous atoms.

Also, there will be one lone pair of electron on each phosphorous atom.

Thus, we can conclude that triple covalent bond would form between two atoms of phosphorus.

Which of the following statements about material bonding is correct? C O a. Ionic bonds are formed by the sharing of valence ele

Zina [86]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In material bonding, there occurs Vander waal foces between the molecules in which their is either an induced or permanent dipole moment that attract molecules towards each other.

And, due to these forces the molecules are held together.

On the other hand, in a ionic bond there will always be transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This is because on atom which loses its valence electrons acquires a positive charge and another atom which gains the electrons acquires a negative charge.

Hence, these opposite charges strongly gets attracted towards each other forming a strong bond.

Whereas in a covalent bond, there will be sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

In a metallic bond, there occurs a sea of electrons which is uniformly distributed throughout the solid substance or material.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement, Van der Waals bonds are formed by Van der Waals forces in which molecules or atoms have either an induced or permanent dipole moment to attract each other, about material bonding is correct.
