Answer: The correct answer is sharing of electrons.

Explanation:

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.

For Example: 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.

aliya0001 [1]

As the volume of a gas increases at constant temperature, the number of particle impacts per unit area decreases.

There is the same number of impacts, but they are spread over a larger surface area.

Thus, the number of impacts per unit area decreases.

A 4.305-g sample of a nonelectrolyte is dissolved in 105 g of water. the solution freezes at -1.23c. calculate the molar mass of

amid [387]

The answer is 62.00 g/mol.
Solution:
Knowing that the freezing point of water is 0°C, temperature change Δt is
Δt = 0C - (-1.23°C) = 1.23°C
Since the van 't Hoff factor i is essentially 1 for non-electrolytes dissolved in water, we calculate for the number of moles x of the compound dissolved from the equation
Δt = i Kf m
1.23°C = (1) (1.86°C kg mol-1) (x / 0.105 kg)
x = 0.069435 mol
Therefore, the molar mass of the solute is
molar mass = 4.305g / 0.069435mol = 62.00 g/mol

What volume of lead (of density 11.3 g/cm3 ) has the same mass as 395 cm3 of a piece of redwood (of density 0.38 g/cm3 )? Answer

Zepler [3.9K]

$d_{1}=\frac{m}{V_{1}}\\\\
V_{1}=395cm^{3}\\
d_{1}=0,38\frac{g}{cm^{3}} \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ m=395cm^{3}*0,38\frac{g}{cm^{3}}=150,1g\\\\\\
d_{2}=\frac{m}{V_{2}}\\\\
m=150,1g\\
d_{2}=11,3\frac{g}{cm^{3}} \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ V_{2}=\frac{150,1g}{11,3\frac{g}{cm^{3}}}\approx13,28cm^{3}$
