How does silicon dioxide become a covalent bond. (explain)

Chemistry
1 answer:
tatuchka [14]3 years ago
4 0
Silicon dioxide is SiO2.  Silicon has 4 valence electrons, while each oxygen has 6 valence electrons.  This can be shown as 
     **             *                   *
**  O *       *  Si   *        *   O  **
      *               *                 **
At points where there is one valence electron, represented by a lone *, the electrons will be 'shared' between the atoms.  This will make silicon dioxide appear as
   **           *--------------- *
**  O *--*  Si   * ------ *   O  **
      *------- *                 **
, as the lines with no arrows indicate that each electron moves between the atoms, and does not stay with one forever.

Every day on his ride to school, Max sees some sedimentary rock. He starts to wonder: Could material from this sedimentary rock
Sloan [31]

Material from this sedimentary rock ever forms igneous rock, <u>Option D. Yes, if the sedimentary rock is moved below Earth’s outer layer and exposed to energy from Earth’s interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form </u><u>igneous rock.</u>

Sedimentary rocks are shaped from pre-existing rocks or pieces of soon-as-dwelling organisms. They form from deposits that collect on this planet's floor. Sedimentary rocks regularly have special layering or bedding.

Igneous rock, or magmatic rock, is one of the 3 primary rock kinds, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is shaped via the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The magma may be derived from partial melts of existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust.

Every day on his ride to school, Max sees some sedimentary rock. He starts to wonder: Could material from this sedimentary rock ever form igneous rock?

A. No, igneous rock can only form out of other igneous rocks. Sedimentary rock cannot change into igneous rock.

B. No, igneous rock forms under Earth’s outer layer due to energy from Earth’s interior, but the sedimentary rock is only at Earth’s surface.

C. Yes, if the sedimentary rock is exposed to energy from the sun at Earth’s surface for a long enough time, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

D. Yes, if the sedimentary rock is moved below Earth’s outer layer and exposed to energy from Earth’s interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

A rock has a density of 3.75g/cm3 and a mass of 26g. What is the volume of the rock?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 6.93 cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density}  \\

From the question we have

volume =  \frac{26}{3.75}  \\  = 6.93333333...

We have the final answer as

<h3>6.93 cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you
