Chemistry
1 answer:
valentinak56 [21]3 years ago

Answer :

2. Hydrogen forms bonds through the overlap of 1s atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between atoms. Carbon forms bonds through the overlapping of sp hybrid atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between carbon atoms.

Explanation:

The H-H bond is formed by the overlap of two 1s orbitals and the sharing of electrons between the two atoms.

A carbon atom must use the overlap of hybridized atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons to bond with another carbon atoms.

1. is <em>wrong</em> because H can use only its <em>1s orbital</em> for bonding.

3. is <em>wrong</em> because C must <em>share electrons</em> to form a carbon-carbon bond.

4. is <em>wrong</em> because <em>C does NOT use overlapping of 2s orbitals</em> for bonding. It uses the overlap of hybridized orbitals.

5. is <em>wrong</em> because H must <em>share electrons</em> to form an H-H bond.

kobusy [5.1K]
The answer would be 0.25 g/mL. 
I determined the density by dividing the mass by the volume which gives you the density. D = mass/volume.
<span>6 g / 24 mL = 0.25 g/mL </span>

An atom with a high metallic character usually has a ____ electron affinity and a ____ atomic radius.
lianna [129]

Low electron affinity and large atomic radius

Metallic character decreases across a period (from left to right) and increases down a group.

Electron affinity increases from left to right within a period. This is caused by the decrease in atomic radius. Electron affinity decreases from top to bottom within a group. This is caused by the increase in atomic radius.

Why is fossil fuel considered a nonrenewable energy source?​
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt Takes \ many \ years \ to \ replenish}

Explanation:

A nonrenewable is a resource that cannot quickly be regenerated. A nonrenewable resource will eventually run out, and it cannot be remade for many years.

For example, <u>fossil fuel </u>is formed from fossils after millions of years of heat and pressure turn them into fuel. Since they take many years to create, they are a <em>nonrenewable energy source.</em>
