Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is defined as the bond which occurs due to sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

Generally, a covalent bond is formed between non-metals.

For example, both nitrogen and oxygen atoms are non-metals and they combine covalently to form NO_{2} compound.

As nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and an oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons. So, there occurs unequal sharing of electrons between the two.

Thus, we can conclude that when a covalent bond forms then electrons in valence shells are shared between atoms.

In stars, hydrogen nuclei combine with each other to form helium and other heavier elements. what is this process called?
slega [8]
Hello!

The process in which hydrogen nuclei combine with each other to form helium and other heavier elements is called Nuclear Fusion.

Nuclear Fusion happens when the repulsion between the two nuclei is overcome by the Strong Interaction Force, spending and releasing high amounts of energy.

The two nuclei need to be close enough for Nuclear Fusion to happen, and the energy needed to achieve that is given by the extremely hot temperatures that exist within stars (about 15 000 000 Kelvin). That's why this kind of reactions are common in stars. 

Have a nice day!

Completely reacting 150.0 g of a substance with oxygen releases 395.1 J of energy. How much energy would be released if 450.0 g
MrMuchimi
To solve this problem we just need to use the rule of three:
150g..................395.1J
450g................xJ

x = 450*395.1/150 = 1185,3J

450.0 g of the substance completely reacted with oxygen will produce 1.1853 kJ(<span>kiloJoule</span>)

A sample of a compound that contains only the elements C, H, and N is completely burned in O2 to produce 44.0 g of CO2, 45.0 g o
PolarNik [594]

Explanation:

what you have to do is to multiply the given grams with the ratio of grams of that certain element in it's full compound in order to isolate the compound and get the element.

because the question did not specify how many grams of NO2 is formed, we can assume that the mass is neglegible, thus 1 mole was assigned to Nitrogen.

Which of the following statement is FALSE? a. Lowering the free energy of the transition state can increase a reaction rate. b.
ryzh [129]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy or free energy of a transition state is defined as the  minimum amount of energy required to by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

So, when activation energy is decreased then molecules with lesser amount of energy can also participate in the reaction. This leads to an increase in rate of reaction.  

Also, increase in temperature will help in increasing the rate of reaction.

Whereas at a given temperature, every molecule will have different energy because every molecule travels at different speed.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options false statement is that at a given temperature and time all molecules in a solution or a sample will have the same energy.
