What elements can join wit other elements o form a covalent bond
Bas_tet [7]

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.

G what is the difference between the sidechains of leucine and isoleucine? select one:
statuscvo [17]

c. Isoleucine has a carbon “branched” closer to the alpha carbon than does leucine.

The structure of leucine is CH3CH(<u>CH3</u>)CH2CH(NH2)COOH.

The structure of isoleucine is CH3CH2CH(<u>CH3</u>)CH(NH2)COOH.

In leucine, the CH3 group is <em>two carbons away</em> <em>from</em> the α carbon; in isoleucine, the CH3 group is on the carbon <em>next to</em> the α carbon.

Thus, <em>isoleucine</em> has the closer branched carbon.

“One is charged, the other is not” is i<em>ncorrect</em>. Both compounds are uncharged.

“One has more H-bond acceptors than the other” is <em>incorrect</em>. Each acid has two H-bond acceptors — the N in the amino and the O in the carbonyl group.

“They have different numbers of carbon atoms” is <em>incorrec</em>t. They each contain six carbon atoms.

When 3.00 g of sulfur are combined with 3.00 g of oxygen, 6.00 g of sulfur dioxide (SO2) are formed. What mass of oxygen would b
bazaltina [42]
Actually, we can answer the problem even without the first statement. All we have to do is write the reaction for the production of sulfur trioxide.

2 S + 3 O₂ → 2 SO₃

The stoichiometric calculations is as follows:

6 g S * 1 mol/32.06 g S = 0.187 mol S
Moles O₂ needed = 0.187 mol S * 3 mol O₂/2 mol S = 0.2805 mol O₂
Since the molar mas of O₂ is 32 g/mol,
Mass of O₂ needed = 0.2805 mol O₂ * 32 g/mol = 8.976 g O₂

Acetylene burns in air according to the following equation: C2H2(g) + 5 2 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + H2O(g) ΔH o rxn = −1255.8 kJ Given
professor190 [17]

Answer:  -227 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

C_2H_2(g)+\frac{5}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+H_2O(g)

The expression for enthalpy change is,

\Delta H=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]

\Delta H=[(n_{CO_2}\times \Delta H_{CO_2})+ n_{H_2O}\times \Delta H_{H_2O})]-[(n_{C_2H_2}\times \Delta H_{C_2H_2})+(n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_{O_2})]

where,

n = number of moles

\Delta H_{O_2}=0 (as heat of formation of substances in their standard state is zero

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

-1255.8=[(2\times -393.5)+(1\times -241.8)]-[(1\times \Delta H_{C_2H_2})+(\frac{5}{2}\times 0)]

-1255.8=[(-787)+(-241.8)]-[(1\times \Delta H_{C_2H_2})+(0)]

\Delta H_{C_2H_2}=-227kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy change for C_2H_2 is -227 kJ.
