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.

Two species of frog mate in the same pond. One breeds in early summer and one in late summer. This is an example of what kind of
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Pre-zygotic, temporal separation

Explanation:

Reproductive isolation mechanism is of two types:

  • Prezygotic mechanism
  • Postzygotic mechanism

Prezygotic mechanism isolation occurs before fertilization and helpful in preventing formation of fertile offspring.

In frog external fertilization occurs. In the external fertilization, eggs and sperms are released in water and fertilization occur outside the water.

Prezygotic isolating mechanisms may include behavioral isolation, temporal isolation, mechanical isolation, gametic isolation and habitat isolation.

Temporal separation in reproduction is the sexual activity in the same geographical range but in different periods.

Therefore, the given reproductive isolation is pre-zygotic, temporal separation.

Does a metal conduct electricity in the solid state?
ad-work [718]
Metal atoms have outer electrons which are not tied to any one atom. These electrons can move freely within the structure of a metal when an electric current is applied. There are no such free electrons in covalent or ionic solids, so electrons can't flow through them - they are non-conductors.

In a shorter term - no

Under identical conditions of temperature and pressure, which of the following gasses is the densest: Ne, CO2, or Cl2?
Tanzania [10]
Cl2=3.17g/L
Ne=.901g/L
CO2=1.96g/l
 therefore Cl2 is the densest gas under the given conditions.
