Answer: C) Non-metals can share pairs of electrons and form covalent bonds
Explanation: The principal reason why it is non-metals that can form covalent bonds is because of their electronegativities. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.
The participating atoms in a covalent bond have to be able to hold the shared electron in place & it is this attraction towards the centre of each participating atom that holds the electrons in place. Metals aren't electronegative, they don't attract electrons towards each other, they'd rather even push the electrons away from themselves (electropositive) to be stable. The closest concept of metals to shared electrons is in metallic bonding, where metals push and donate their valence electrons to an electron cloud which is free to move around the bulk of the metallic structure. But this is nowhere near the type of bonding that exist in covalent bonds.
Na because its a metal. Metals are the best conductors. S and Ne are nonmetals. and Ge is a metalloid. (Metalloids are semi conductors)
Answer:
Solid:- Particles vibrate in a rigid structure and do not move relative to their neighbors.
Liquid:- It takes the shape of its container but keeps a constant volume.
Gas:- Particles move rapidly and independently of each other.
Plasma:- It is the most common state of matter in the universe.
Explanation:
Solids are one of the three states of matter and, unlike liquids or gases, they have a definite shape that is not easy to change. Different solids have particular properties such as stretch, STRENGTH, or hardness that make them useful for different jobs.
A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure
Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume. Gases have lower density than other states of matter, such as solids and liquids. When more gas particles enter a container, there is less space for the particles to spread out, and they become compressed. The particles exert more force on the interior volume of the container.
A plasma is a gas that has been energized to the point that some of the electrons break free from, but travel with, their nucleus.
Answer:
Explanation:
When you form a <em>diluted solution</em> from a mother (concentrated) solution, the moles of solute are determined by the mother solution.
The main equation is:
Then, since the moles of solute is the same for both the mother solution and the diluted solution:
Substitute and solve for the molarity of the diluted solution:
