Answer:

The true statement is:

They are formed when atoms of different elements combine.

Explanation:

Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine.

Atoms of different elements combine with each other to attain stable electronic configuration.

The atoms can combine with each other in two different ways:

1) By sharing the electrons

2) By exchanging electrons

When they share electrons with each other, they form a covalent bond.

When they exchange electrons, they form an ionic bond.

Which of the following atoms could have an expanded octet when it is the central atom in a covalent compound?a) B
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

only chlorine can expand its octet.

Explanation:

An atom can expand its octet is it has empty d orbital

the electronic configuration of given elements will be:

B : 1s2 2s2 2p1 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

O :1s2 2s2 2p4 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

F : 1s2 2s2 2p5 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

Cl :1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 3d0 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

Out of given elements only chlorine has empty d orbitals in its valence shell

Thus only chlorine can expand its octet.

Use dimensional analysis to convert 14.5mi/hr to km/s
Liula [17]

Answer:

0.006 48 km/s

Explanation:

1. Convert miles to kilometres

14.5 mi × (1.609 km/1 mi) = 23.33 km

2. Convert hours to seconds

1 h × (60 min/1h) × (60 s/1 min) = 3600 s

3. Divide the distance by the time

14.5 mi/1 h = 23.3 km/3600 s = 0.006 48 km/s
