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.

How does gravity depend on the mass of two objects
AleksAgata [21]

Gravity increases as the mass of either object increases.

<h3>What is gravity?</h3>

Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its centre. The force of gravity keeps all of the planets in orbit around the sun.

Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.
