Answer:

The correct answer is "covalent bonds".

Explanation:

A covalent coordinated or dative bond is formed when two atoms are linked together, sharing a pair of electrons. But only one of these atoms is the one that brings the pair of shared electrons. For this type of bond to occur, it is required that the donor atom has a pair of free electrons in an outer orbital and the acceptor atom has the capacity to receive that pair of electrons in its last valence layer.

On the other hand, a Lewis base is a substance that can share or donate a pair of electrons, because they have a pair of solitary electrons. A  Lewis acid is that substance that accepts or takes a pair of electrons because they have their last electron layer incomplete.  

It is then possible to say that an Lewis acid-base reaction is formed by the Lewis acid and base joined by a coordinated covalent bond.

So, <u><em>the correct answer is "covalent bonds".</em></u>

The correct option is COVALENT BONDS.

A Lewis acid is defined as a substance which accept a pair of electron while a Lewis base refers to a substance that donate an unshared pair of electrons to another chemical specie with which it shared the donated pair of electrons.

Lewis acid and Lewis base react together to form salt and water. This type of reaction is called neutralization reaction. The neutralization reaction of Lewis acid and Lewis base involves electron pairs transfer, thus, there is an increase in the number of covalent bonds during this reaction.

The volume of H₃PO₄ : 13.33 ml

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

0.003 M  Phosphoric acid-H₃PO₄

40 ml of 0.00150 M Calcium hydroxide-Ca(OH)₂

Required

Volume of H₃PO₄

Solution

Acid-base titration formula  

Ma. Va. na = Mb. Vb. nb  

Ma, Mb = acid base concentration  

Va, Vb = acid base volume  

na, nb = acid base valence  (amount of H⁺/OH⁻)

H₃PO₄⇒3H⁺ + PO₄³⁻ ⇒ 3 H⁺ = valence = 3

Ca(OH)₂⇒Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻⇒ 2 OH⁻ = valence = 2

Input the value :

a = H₃PO₄, b = Ca(OH)₂

0.003 x Va x 3 = 0.0015 x 40 x 2

Va = 13.33 ml

What are the forces that hold sodium and chloride ions together?
Phantasy [73]
Sodium is a metal, Chloride is a non-metal.

Right off the bat, you know that in order for both of these atoms to achieve a full valence shell that the metal has to lose electrons, and the non-metal has to gain them.

Therefore, you have the transfer of electrons in this bond in order to form ions.
Na+ and Cl-. This transfer of electrons in a bond is called an {{ Ionic Bond}}

What happens as a result of photoelectric effect
natka813 [3]

Electrons are emitted from the surface of a metal in photoelectric effect.

<h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

The photoelectric effect is the emission of electron from the surface of a metal when light is shone on the surface..

For electrons to be emitted, the light must have a certain frequency known as threshhold frequency.

Therefore, electrons are emitted from the surface of a metal in photoelectric effect.

Which bond will each pair of elements form?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Explanation: Sodium is a metal with a low electronegativity it will form an ionic bond with a non metal with a high electronegativity.

Both Florine and Sulfur are non metals with high electronegativity.

Neon is a noble gas family VIII A and normally doesn't form any bonds at all.

I really need help pls, will pay anything
Triss [41]

Explanation:

For the first part,

 Reaction equation:

         N₂  +  3H₂   →   2NH₃

Given:

Number of moles of NH₃  = 6 moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of N₂  = ?

Solution:

   N₂  +  3H₂   →   2NH₃;

  From the reaction above, we solve from the known specie to the unknown. Ensure that the equation is balanced;

         2 moles of NH₃ is produced from 1 mole of N₂

        6 moles of NH₃ will be produced from \frac{6}{2}  mole of N₂

                                                                      = 3moles of N₂

The number of moles of N₂ is 3 moles

ii.

Given parameters:

Number of moles of sulfur = 2.4moles

Molar mass of sulfur  = 32.07g/mol

Unknown:

Mass of sulfur  = ?

Solution:

The number of moles of any substance can be found using the expression below;

 Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

  Mass of sulfur  = number of moles of sulfur x molar mass

Insert the parameters and solve;

    Mass of sulfur  = 2.4 x 32.07  = 76.97g
