A bond formed between a silicon atom and an oxygen atom is likely to be ____.
2 answers:
Answer: Polar covalent
Explanation:
a) A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.
Types of covalent bonds:
A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms. Example:
Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms.Example:
b) An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal. Example:

Answer:
4
Explanation:
Relationship between wavenumber and Rydberg constant (R) is as follows:
Here, Z is atomic number.
R=109677 cm^-1
Wavenumber is related with wavelength as follows:
wavenumber = 1/wavelength
wavelength = 253.4 nm
Z fro Be = 4
Therefore, the principal quantum number corresponding to the given emission is 4.
