Answer:

B. Electrical charges of polar covalent bonds

Explanation:

Lewis structures, also known as Lewis dot diagrams are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and lone pairs of an electron that may exist in the molecule.

Polar covalent bonds are bonds that occur where a pair of electrons is shared unevenly between two atoms

The Lewis notation as an agreed convection, uses the delta sign to indicate polar covalent bonds when they occur in compounds. It shows that the electrons are shared unevenly.

Consider the example attached below. The Lewis structure for HF is given. the δ+ is used to show the electropositive Hydrogen atom while the δ- is used to show the electronegative Fluorine atom in the bond.

The valency of both Oxygen and magnesium is 2 give reason

lidiya [134]

Answer:

the valency of an element is its combining capacity that is the number of electrons it requires to lose, gain or share in order to become neutral.

[ An element can become neutral if it completes it's octet. That is if an element has 8 electrons in it'd outermost shell then it is considered neutral ]

The valence of Magnesium is 2 because it requires to lose 2 electrons to become neutral.

whereas, the valence of Oxygen is 2 because it needs to gain 2 electrons to become stable.

Hence they both have the same valence.

One may say that oxygen's valence is -2 while that of Magnesium is + 2. It's meaning is still the same but "-" sign indicates that oxygen will be gaining electrons in the process of becoming stable.

What is an energy level and what particle occupies it

Snezhnost [94]

Hey there!

An energy level is the level of energy that the particle has.

Electrons occupy energy levels.

To release electromagnetic radiation, an electron will absorb energy, jump up an energy level, then releases the energy in the form of a photon and goes back down to its original energy level.

Hope this helps!

What type of spectrum is produced when electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed as electrons change energy levels in an

mina [271]

When electrons in atom interaction with light or photons one of the two process takes place:

1) they can absorb photons of a characteristic wavelength (which depends on the energy difference between two interacting atomic levels) and get excited to a higher energy level

2) or they can jump to a lower energy level and emit photons of the corresponding wavelength.

The type of spectrum produced when electrons in an atom undergo transitions to various levels by absorbing or emitting photons is termed as atomic spectrum.
