The answer is D. And if it is equally shared it is nonpolar covalent bond
Answer:
The electronic configuration that are incorrectly written is 1s²2s³2p⁶, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴.
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of the elements corresponds to how all the electrons of an element are arranged in energy levels and sub-levels.
There are 7 energy levels —from 1 to 7— whose sublevels are described as s, p, d and f.
All electronic configurations begin with the term "1s" —corresponding to the sublevel s of level 1— so 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴ are incorrectly written. In addition, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷ is written incorrectly because is impossible to jump from the sublevel "s" to the sublevel "d" —which is found from level 3 and up— without passing through the sublevel "p".
In the case of 1s²2s³2p⁶, the wrong thing is that the sublevel "s" can only hold two electrons, not three.
The other options are correctly written.
Answer:
Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to 4 other carbon atoms in diamond. A large amount of energy is required to split these atoms apart. This is because of the fact that covalent bonds are strong.
For any given element the mass number can be found by adding the protons and the neutrons.
In this case its 10 protons plus 11 neutrons which gives us 21 as the mass number.
