Answer: C) Non-metals can share pairs of electrons and form covalent bonds
Explanation: The principal reason why it is non-metals that can form covalent bonds is because of their electronegativities. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.
The participating atoms in a covalent bond have to be able to hold the shared electron in place & it is this attraction towards the centre of each participating atom that holds the electrons in place. Metals aren't electronegative, they don't attract electrons towards each other, they'd rather even push the electrons away from themselves (electropositive) to be stable. The closest concept of metals to shared electrons is in metallic bonding, where metals push and donate their valence electrons to an electron cloud which is free to move around the bulk of the metallic structure. But this is nowhere near the type of bonding that exist in covalent bonds.

Answer:
36290 min = 604.8 hr.
Explanation:
1 lbs = 453.59237 grams.
∴ 2 lbs = 907.18474 grams.
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
500 mg of iron oxide dissolved → 20 minutes.
907184.74 mg of iron oxide dissolved → ??? minutes.
<em>∴ The time needed to dissolve 2 lbs of iron oxide =</em> (907184.74 mg)(20 min)/(500 mg) = <em>36290 min = 604.8 hr.</em>
Explanation:
Silver and Gold belong to a special group of metals known as the native metals. They are found naturally on their own and not in combined form in rocks.
- These metals are found uncombined because they are unreactive.
- They prefer to alloy with themselves.
- Calcium and magnesium on the other hand are reactive metals.
- The unreactivity of these metals makes them uncombined in nature.
<span>atomic weights: Al = 26.98, Cl = 35.45
In this reaction; 2Al = 53.96 and 3Cl2 = 212.7
Ratio of Al:Cl = 53.96/212.7 = 0.2537 that is approximately four times the mass Cl is needed.
Step 2:
(a) Ratio of Al:Cl = 2.70/4.05 = 0.6667
since the ratio is greater than 0.2537 the divisor which is Cl is not big enough to give a smaller ratio equal to 0.2537.
so Cl is limiting
(b)since Cl is the limiting reactant 4.05g will be used to determine the mass of AlCl3 that can be produced.
From Step 1:
212.7g of Cl will produce 266.66g AlCl3
212.7g = 266.66g
4.05g = x
x = 5.08g of AlCl3 can be produced
(c)
Al:Cl = 0.2537
Al:Cl = Al:4.05 = 0.2537
mass of Al used in reaction = 4.05 x 0.2537 = 1.027g
Excess reactant = 2.70 - 1.027 = 1.67g
