How many covalent bonds are there in one molecule of silica, SiO2?

Chemistry

Viefleur [7K]3 years ago

The number of covalent bonds is determined by the number of valence electrons of an element. The number of electrons tells the maximum number of bonds an element allows. In this case, an oxygen atom requires two bonds. So for Sio2, each oxygen  atoms are bonded in double bonds to Si.  Hence there are two covalent bonds.

The number of covalent bonds that are present in one molecule of silica, SiO2 is two. The fact that the number of valence electrons actually determine the number of covalent bonds that can be made. In this case there are two oxygen atoms and two bonds are required to form the bond with Si. this is why this situation needs two covalent bonds.

1.Type of bonding in which electrons are completely transferred is called ionic bond.
2. Isotopes have same atomic number but different atomic mass number.
Atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Therefore, A is correct. 
3. Nucleus is composed of neutrons and protons.
4. Chemical reactions follows the law of conservation of mass. Therefore mass of reactant = mass of product = 4 grams.
5. Again, mass of table salt formed should be equal to mass of (Na+Cl₂) = 4 grams.

Ann [662]
Equilibrium chemical reaction between chair and boat forms is:
Kc = \frac{[Boat form]}{[Chair form]}
Suppose the total number of molecules is x 
Number of molecules of chair form is 6.42/100 x
Number of molecules of boat form is 93.58/100 x
Kc = \frac{(0.9358x)}{(0.0642x)} = 14.6

Which pair of elements form an ionic bond?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

As an example I can say sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl).

Explanation:

An ionic bond occurs when a metal element reacts with a nonmetal element. Therefore in the answer given above the Na is metal and Cl is nonmetal and they form a molecule through ionic bonding.

Why does the concentration of a product increase as the amount of the reactant decreases? (More 10+ pt questions on profile)
skad [1K]
As reactant concentration decreases, the forward. reaction slows. As product concentration increases, the reverse reaction becomes faster. The forward. reaction will continue to slow and the reverse reaction will continue to increase until they are the same.Then the situation will be at equilibrium.
