How can you tell the number of covalent bonds an element can form?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sergio039 [100]3 years ago
3 0

The number of bonds for a neutral atom is equal to the number of electrons in the full valence shell (2 or 8 electrons) minus the number of valence electrons. This method works because each covalent bond that an atom forms adds another electron to an atoms valence shell without changing its charge.

What is amu of 99 % H-1, .2% H-1 and .8% H-3
ankoles [38]

The average atomic mass of your mixture is 1.03 u .

The average atomic mass of H is the weighted average of the atomic masses of its isotopes.  

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i.e., its % abundance).  

Thus,  

0.99    × 1.01 u = 0.998 u

0.002 × 2.01 u = 0.004 u

0.008 × 3.02 u = <u>0.024 u</u>

            TOTAL =  1.03   u

Blast furnaces extract pure iron from the iron(III) oxide in iron ore in a two step sequence. In the first step, carbon and oxyg
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

6 C(s) +  3 O₂(g) + 2 Fe₂O₃(s) →  4 Fe(s) + 6 CO₂(g)

Explanation:

Iron can be formed in two steps.

Step 1: 2 C(s) + O₂(g) → 2 CO(g)

Step 2: Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 CO(g) → 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO₂(g)

In order to get the net chemical equation, we will multiply the first step by 3, the second step by 2, and then add them.

6 C(s) +  3 O₂(g) → 6 CO(g)

+

2 Fe₂O₃(s) + 6 CO(g) → 4 Fe(s) + 6 CO₂(g)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6 C(s) +  3 O₂(g) + 2 Fe₂O₃(s) + 6 CO(g) → 6 CO(g) + 4 Fe(s) + 6 CO₂(g)

6 C(s) +  3 O₂(g) + 2 Fe₂O₃(s) →  4 Fe(s) + 6 CO₂(g)

What are some similarities and differences between physical and chemical weathering
mote1985 [20]
Similarities:
they both made sediment into soil
they both form the earth
they both made sediments have cracks

differences:
physical is reliant usually on contact with atmospheric condition

chemical transforms rocks into sediments while physical only breaks it down

chemical uses chemical reactions

Collagen is made of fibers and is found in tendons and cartilage. Collagen
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Collagen is a "fibrous proteins" present in the extracellular matrix.

Explanation:

Protein are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids and is made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur and is found in many foods. Proteins are organic molecules found in living organisms.

There are three types of proteins; fibrous, globular, and membrane.

Collagen which is a fibrous proteins, form muscle fiber, tendons, connective tissue and bone.

Collagen are naturally occurring proteins that consist of single molecules made up of amino-acids, which are in turn built of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. It is mostly found in fibrous tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and skin.

The synthesis of collagen occurs in two stages: intracellular and extracellular.

Collagen is an abundant connective tissues such as cartilage, tendons, bones, and ligaments. Collagen is a contributing factor to variation in meat tenderness and texture.
