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.
There are 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in 39.948 g of argon and 4.0026 g of helium.
Explanation:
39.945 g/mole is the molar mass of argon so 39.948 g of argon are equal to 1 mole of argon.
4.0026 g/mole is the molar mass of helium so 4.0026 g of helium are equal to 1 mole of helium.
We know that Avogadro's number tell us the number of particles in 1 mole of substance which is 6.022 × 10²³.
So in 39.948 g of argon and 4.0026 g of helium contains the same number of atoms, 6.022 × 10²³.

Answer:
Metals on the left of the Periodic Table.
Non-Metals on the top-right, plus Hydrogen.
Answer:
HCl is the correct answer
<span>Raising
the temperature of the reactants increases the reaction between the reactants.
The kinetic energy of the molecules of the reactants collides more frequently
with ach other thereby increasing its reaction. Increasing the concentration of
the reactants increases the reaction rate. Adding a catalyst to the reaction
increases the rate of reaction of a substance. The catalyst hastens the
chemical reaction. </span>
