Which phrase best describes a covalent bond?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kotegsom [21]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is sharing of electrons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms. This is usually formed between two non-metals.

<u>For Example:</u> Formation of hydrogen chloride molecule

Electronic configuration of hydrogen = 1s^1

Electronic configuration of chlorine = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

Hydrogen and chlorine atoms are need only 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration. So, they share electron and form covalent bond.

Hence, the correct answer is sharing of electrons.

The following equation represents the type of reaction called
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Reduction

Explanation:

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Mn⁺⁷ +3e⁻    →    Mn⁴⁺

Mn gets three electrons , its oxidation state reduced from +7 to +4 so Mn gets reduced.

Examples:

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

How do you find the highest energy level?
joja [24]

Answer:

The larger the number of the energy level, the farther it is from the nucleus. Electrons that are in the highest energy level are called valence electrons. Within each energy level is a volume of space where specific electrons are likely to be located.

Poor precision in scientific measurement may arise from
Arturiano [62]
<span>Based on the experience of the responder, to correctly calculate measurements in real-world. Firstly is to avoid errors as much as possible. Errors are what makes your measurement invalid and unreliable. There are two types of error which is called the systematic error and the random error. Each error has different sources. Words that were mentioned –invalid and unreliable are very important key aspects to determine that your measure is truly accurate and consistent. Some would recommend using the mean method, doing three trials in measuring and getting their mean, in response to this problem.</span>
