Answer:

Non metals join to form covalent bond.

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

Both atoms bonded through covalent bond.

In Cl₂ both chlorine atoms are bonded through the covalent bond.

How are ironic bonds and covalent bonds different and how are they different?

Vinil7 [7]

Ionic bonds are forces that hold together electrostatic forces of attractions between oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds have an electronegativity difference greater than or equal to 2. Covalent bonds have an electronegativity difference that is less than 2.

Hi, someone knows how to balance the following equation, and if you can thank you if you can explain how that is done:

kari74 [83]

To begin with, the equation given is not correct.
Correct equation is : CaCO3 + HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
It's CaCl2 not CaCl because Ca has a valency of 2

LHS RHS
CaCO3 + HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
First of all, to balance the equation you must look at the number of atoms on each side of the equation.
we have 2 H on the RHS and 1 H on the LHS. So, we put a 2 on the LHS

CaCO3 + 2HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
Check for the LHS: 1 Ca, 1 C, 3 O, 2 H & 2 Cl on the LHS
Now check for the RHS: 1 Ca, 2 Cl, 2 H, 1 C & 3 O

Hope it helped!
