Chemistry Help! Reasons why nonmetals form covalent bonds?

Chemistry

Anton [14]3 years ago
4 0
Non metals attain stability when they attain nobility .i. e. Fully filled outer shell. In order to achieve that, they undergo covalent bonding by sharing of electrons. Metals on the other hand have free electrons in their valence bands unlike non metals, they dont preferably require covalent bonding.

A solid substance is an excellent conductor of electricity. the chemical bonds in this substances are most likely
marishachu [46]

Answer;

-4. metallic, because the valance electrons are mobile

Explanation;

-Electrical conductivity in metals is a result of the movement of electrically charged particles.The atoms of metal elements are characterized by the presence of valence electrons (electrons in the outer shell of an atom) that are free to move about.

-Therefore; Metallic elements such as sodium and potassium conducts electricity in solid form due to the presence of delocalized valence electrons. These electrons can move freely within the structure of a metal when an electric current is applied.

Which energy transformation occurs in an<br> electric motor?
vivado [14]

Answer:

Electrical energy to mechanical energy

Explanation:

In an electric motor, the energy transformation that is involve is a move from from electrical energy to mechanical energy.

For every system, according to the law of conservation of energy "energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

  • An electric motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy
  • The electrical energy passes through and electromagnet set up.
  • This then cause the motion to rotate.
  • Therefore, electrical energy is transformed to mechanical energy.

Which of the following is the correct formula for Ca2+ reacting with NO2??
mariarad [96]

Answer:

B. Ca(NO2)2

Explanation:

Ions (charged atoms) combine with one another to form stable ionic compounds. In this case, calicium ion (Ca2+) is said to react with NO2, which has a charge of -1 i.e. +1-1(2) = 1-2 = -1.

This means that calcium has a charge of +2 while nitrite ion has charge of -1, hence, when they combine, they exchange their charges, which become their subscript as follows:

Ca2+ + NO2- → Ca(NO2)2

Ca(NO2)2 is a stable ionic compound called calcium nitrite. Notice that it takes two atoms of NO2- to react with one atom of Ca2+.
