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

Chemistry
2 answers:
Viefleur [7K]4 years ago
7 0
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.

What is the pH of the solution in which the [H+] is 1.0 × 10–4 mol/L ?
ddd [48]
PH is a simplified observation of the acidity of a solution, defined as the -log [H+] (negative logarithm of the hydrogen concentration).

-log[10^-4] = 4

The pH of this solution is 4.

How does the atomic radius of an element is related to its metallic character
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The large the atomic radius the more the metallic character of elements

Explanation:

The atomic radius is related to the metallic character in a way that the larger the atomic radius, the more metallic a body becomes.

Therefore, as we go down a group, metallic character increases.

  • Metallic character relies on the ability and willingness of an atom to share its valence electrons.
  • As the size of an atom becomes large, the more metallic it is and the more its metallic character.
  • In some other cases this character is known as electropositivity.
