Covalent bonding occurs between two oxygen atoms to form O2. What's the partial charge on each oxygen atom in 02?

Chemistry

Alik [6]3 years ago

Answer:

Both oxygen atoms have zero partial charge.

Explanation:

In covalent bonds, electrons are shared between the two bonding atoms. The shared electron pair of the covalent bond is positioned between the nuclei of the two bonding atoms.

A covalent bond may be formed between two or more elements of different electronegativities. When a difference in electro negativity exists between these atoms in a covalent bond, the molecule becomes polarized. The shared electron pair of the covalent bond becomes closer to the nucleus of the more electronegative atom (s). This more electronegative atom (s) becomes partially negative while the other atom becomes partially positive.

When the two bonding atoms are of equal electronegativities such that the electro negativity difference between the bonding atoms is zero, there is now no difference in electro negativity and no consequent partial charges.

Since the two oxygen atoms have the same electro negativity, there is no difference in electronegativity, hence there is no partial charge between the two oxygen atoms.

All rocks follow the same pathway though the rock cycle us a false statement. Why?
sammy [17]

False.

This is because there are three different rocks, metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous. Thus, meaning that there are three different pathways, making this statement false.

Hope this helps!

How many significant digits are 6.3590x10 7 mm
Svet_ta [14]
If you go by the decimal there should be 5 significant digits because 0 is a trailing zero and matters since it comes after a decimal. however if you do 

6.3590 x 10 ^7 = 63590000 then you would only have 4 significant digits because there is no longer a decimal to make the zero after the 9, significant. 

Hope this helps!

A buffering solution consists of both strong acids and bases. <br> a. True<br> b. False
artcher [175]
False. A buffering solution consists of a WEAK acid such as CH3COOH, C5H5N, or ammonia. <span>A buffering solution resists pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It can neutralize little amounts of added acid or base, thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable. The correct answer is letter "B. false"</span>

The _______ force is a noncontact force that is created by the movement of an electrical charge. A. centrifugal B. electromagnet
Nataliya [291]

the answer for your question is B. Electromagnetic. because electric charge is the physical property that causes it to experience force when it is placed in a electromagnetic field the electric charge is carried by subatomic particles which causes the movement of the magnetic force
