Correct option is c) oxygen and hydrogen.... like in H2O .. there is covalent bond due to sharing of electrons ...

Explanation:

Atoms that share electrons with each other tend to form a covalent bond. Whereas atoms that show transfer of electrons from one atom to another tend to form an ionic bond.

Sodium has atomic number 11 and oxygen has atomic number 8. In order to become stabilized, sodium needs to lose one electron whereas oxygen needs to gain two electrons. So, two sodium atoms will combine with one atom of oxygen. This will form an ionic bond between sodium and oxygen atom.

Carbon has atomic number 4 and fluorine has atomic number 9. Therefore, both of them will share electrons in order to become stabilized. Thus, they will form a covalent bond.

Oxygen atom has atomic number 8 and hydrogen has atomic number 1. Therefore, both of them will share electrons but due to difference in electronegativity of both hydrogen and oxygen they will result in the formation of a polar covalent bond.

Aluminium has atomic number 13 and chlorine has atomic number 17. So, aluminium will donate or transfer its valence electron to chlorine atom. Therefore, it will also form an ionic bond.

Thus, we can conclude that carbon (C) and fluorine (F) and oxygen (O) and hydrogen (H) are the combination(s) that would result in sharing of electrons.

Answer:

Explanation:

Sparking can be caused by defective cooktop elements, loose connectors, a wire with frayed insulation or a broken wire arcing over to the appliance metal frame, says Appliance Repair. If the cause of the sparking is a broken wire or a wire with frayed insulation, do not attempt to splice the wire; you must replace it. Repair Clinic suggests checking the spark ignition switches, as they might be defective and in need of replacing.

NARA [144]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

The question is incomplete because of the absence of the table but since the question says there are data from an investigation about a plant growth and five other plants (making six) of the same type, the best way to display this type of data for analyst is to use the grouped bar chart. The grouped bar chart will display the data obtained (from an investigation on plant growth) from different students on each of the six plants (of the the same type).

Colours are usually used to identify the bars (of a group) or could be used to separate the group from other groups but in this case, colours are better used to identify the bars of a group.

Which of the following choices has the compounds correctly arranged in order of increasing solubility in water? (least soluble t

larisa86 [58]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As it is known that like dissolves like. So, water being a polar compound is able to dissolve only polar compounds.

Hence, a compound that is ionic or polar in nature will readily dissolve in water. Whereas non-polar compounds will be insoluble in water.

As $CCl_{4}$ is a non-polar compound. Hence, it is insoluble in water.

On the other hand, $CHCl_{3}$ is a polar compound due to difference in electronegativity of chlorine and carbon atom there will be development of partial charges. Hence, there will be dipole-dipole forces existing between them.

Whereas $NaNO_{3}$ is an ionic compound and it will readily dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. Also, there will be ion-dipole interactions between sodium and nitrate ions.

Hence, $NaNO_{3}$ will readily dissolve in water.

Thus, we can conclude that the compounds correctly arranged in order of increasing solubility in water are $CCl_{4}$ < $CHCl_{3}$ < $NaNO_{3}$ .
