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

We have a sample of water vapor which cools from 150 °C to 125 °C. What happens to the motion of the molecules during this time

pentagon [3]

The motion of the molecules decreases.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Gases are formed when the energy in a system overcomes the attractive forces between the molecules. The gases expand to fill the space they occupy. In this way, the gas molecules interact little. In the gaseous state, the molecules move very quickly. As the temperature decreases, the amount of movement of the individual molecules also decreases.

The fast-moving particle slows down. When a particle speeds up, it has more kinetic energy. When a particle slows down, it has less kinetic energy. The particles in solid form are commonly connected through electrostatic powers. They don't get enough space to move around, therefore, their speed diminishes, they can't keep their standard speed like in the vaporous or fluid state.

Which compounds are classified as Arrhenius acids?

Olenka [21]

Answer:The correct answer is option 4.

Explanation:

Arrhenius acids are those compounds which gives $H^+$ ions when dissolved in their aqueous solution.

$HA(aq)\rightarrow H^++A^-$

Arrhenius bases are those compounds which gives $OH^-$ ions when dissolved in their aqueous solution.

$BOH(aq)\rightarrow OH^-+B^+$

$HBr \& H_2SO_4$ are Arrhenius acids because they form $H^+$ ions in their respective aqueous solution.

$HBr(aq)\rightarrow H^++Br^-$

$H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2H^++SO_{4}^{2-}$

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Which energy resource causes the greatest waste disposal concerns?.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Coal

Explanation:

Coal produces more pollution than any other energy source. While coal produces just 44% of U.S. electricity, it accounts for 80% of power plant carbon emissions. Burning coal leads to soot, smog, acid rain, global warming, and carbon emissions.

Naphthalene, commonly found in moth balls, is composed of 93.7% carbon and 6.3% hydrogen. The molar mass of naphthalene is 128 g

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Molecular formula naphthalene → C₁₀H₈

Empirical formula naphthalene → C₅H₄

Explanation:

Centesimal composition means that in 100 g of compound we have x g of the element. Therefore in 100 g of naphthalene we have:

93.7 g of C

6.3 g of H

Let's make a rule of three:

In 100 g of naphthalene we have 93.7 g of C and 6.3 g of H

In 128 g of naphthalene we would have:

128 . 93.7 / 100 = 120 g of C

128. 6.3 / 100 = 8 g of H

We convert the mass to moles, by molar mass:

120 g . 1mol / 12 g = 10 moles C

8 g . 1mol/ 1g = 8 moles H

Molecular formula naphthalene → C₁₀H₈

Empirical formula naphthalene → C₅H₄

(The sub-index of each element is divided by the largest possible number)
