Covalent bonds keep the hydrogen and oxygen atoms together

Answer:

a) covalent

Explanation:

Atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons to be more stable. Most atoms follow the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to complete its valence shell (last level of electrons) with 8 electrons. Oxygen follows this rule, but Hydrogen becomes stable when it has 2 electrons in its valence shell. H and O are non-metals, and they tend to share electrons to complete their valence shell.

Oxygen has 6 electrons in its last level, so it needs 2 electrons to complete its octet. Hydrogen has 1 electron so it needs 1 electron to complete its duet.

As a result, 1 atom of oxygen shares electrons with 2 atoms of hydrogen. This can be represented by a Lewis Structure (attached), where electrons are represented as points around each atom. Covalent bonds are formed by the pair of electrons shared between each pair of atoms. Therefore, in the molecule of water there are 2 covalent bonds.

Nitrogen reacts with hydrogen to produce ammonia gas as follows. mc023-1.jpg How many moles of nitrogen would react with excess
anzhelika [568]
The balanced reaction is:

N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3

We are given the amount of the product to be produced.This will be the starting point of our calculations. We use the ideal gas equation to find for the number of moles.

<span>
n = PV / RT = 1.00(.520 L) / (0.08206 atm L/mol K ) 273 K
n= 0.0232 mol NH3

</span>0.0232 mol NH3 (1 mol N2 / 2 mol NH3) = 0.0116 mol N2


<span>Therefore, the correct answer is A.</span>

What is the velocity of a 0.5-kg ball<br> that has a momentum of 3 kg.m/s?
maria [59]

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass = 0.5kg

Momentum = 3 kg.m/s

Velocity =.?

Momentum is simply the product of mass and velocity as shown by the equation below:

Momentum = Mass x Velocity

Velocity = Momentum /mass

Velocity = 3kg.m/s / 0.5kg

Velocity = 6m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the ball is 6m/s
