Why do covalent bonds not involve the transfer of electrons

2 answers:

6 0

Covalent bonds do not involve electron transfer because in covalent bonds, the electrons are shared between the atoms to form the molecule rather than being transferred to form ions as it is in the case of ionic bonds.

Answer: The net ionic equation is given below.

Explanation:

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

These ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation. They are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of hydrochloric acid and potassium carbonate is given as:

$2HCl(aq.)+K_2CO_3(aq.)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)+2KCl(aq.)$

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

$2H^+(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)+2K^+(aq.)+CO_3^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)+2K^+(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)$

As, potassium and chloride ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

$2H^+(aq.)+CO_3^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)$

Hence, the net ionic equation is given above.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Component P, because being supported by ample evidence is a characteristic of a theory.

Explanation:

Hypothesis do not explain phenomenon they are just educated guesses that can be put into work to see if they are true of false.

Scientific theory on other hand, is widely accepted and supported by large amount of evidence and useful for explaining scientific phenomenon.

During a constant-pressure process, the system releases heat to the surroundings. does the enthalpy of the system increase or de

natta225 [31]

The answer to this question would be: decrease
If the process is releasing heat to the surrounding, that means it should be an exothermic process. In the exothermic process, the process enthalpy difference will be minus because some of the energy is released as heat. That means the enthalpy of the system will be decreased.

How many atoms are in 4.6 mol K?

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

27.7 × 10²³ atoms

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Potassium = 4.6 mol

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For 4.6 moles of K:

One mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

4.6 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms= 27.7 × 10²³ atoms
