Why do atoms share electrons in covalent bonds??

Chemistry

Answer and Explanation:

Covalent bond is formed when electrons are shared by the atoms to fulfill their outermost shell.

In colvalent bond atoms shares electron to gain stability because if their outermost shell is not fulfilled then they are unstable.

So to gain stability electrons are shared by atoms in covalent bond , when they share electron their outermost shells are fulfilled and they become stable

Atoms in covalent bonds do combine so as to be stable. As covalent bond consist non metals e.g O2 in this example each atom has vacance of 2 orbitals/ electrons so shairing electrons result their stability

A system fitted with a piston expands when it absorbs 53.1 ) of heat from the surroundings. The piston is working against a pres
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

d. 60.8 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Heat absorbed (Q): 53.1 J
  • External pressure (P): 0.677 atm
  • Final volume (V2): 63.2 L
  • Change in the internal energy (ΔU): -108.3 J

Step 2: Calculate the work (W) done by the system

We will use the following expression.

ΔU = Q + W

W = ΔU - Q

W = -108.3 J - 53.1 J = -161.4 J

Step 3: Convert W to atm.L

We will use the conversion factor 1 atm.L = 101.325 J.

-161.4 J ×  1 atm.L/101.325 J = -1.593 atm.L

Step 4: Calculate the initial volume

First, we will use the following expression.

W = - P × ΔV

ΔV = - W / P

ΔV = - 1.593 atm.L / 0.677 atm = 2.35 L

The initial volume is:

V2 = V1 + ΔV

V1 = V2 - ΔV

V1 = 63.2 L - 2.35 L = 60.8 L

Which atom attracts electrons more strongly?
lesya [120]
Bromine attracts electrons more strongly. Cesium is In fact the least electro negative element.

Sodium is more likely to lose an electron because is is less electro negative. Strong electronegativity make the element want more electrons. Sodium has loose electrons with a lower electronegativity so it gives it up easier.

An unsaturated solution is formed when 80 grams of a salt is dissolved in 100 grams of water at 40. This salt could be ?
LekaFEV [45]
A simple way to go about this is that we look at the solubility curve, on the x axis we first look at the temperature and then the corresponding value of solute/100g H2O on the y axis, from the 4 curves above only NaNO3 has a curve that can accommodate  80g of salt at 40 without being Saturated since at 40 degrees it can accommodate 105g of salt to become completely Saturated.
