A COVALENT BOND, FORMS BETWEEN ELEMENTS WITH SIMILAR  ELECTRONEGATIVITY AS SHARING OF ELECTRON PAIRS BETWEEN ATOMS IS EASIER AS THEY ARE IDENTICAL.

Explanation:

Bonding atoms with similar electronegativity values form covalent bonds.

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Covalent bonds form between two nonmetal atoms with identical or relatively close electronegativity values

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, also it is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself.

Pure covalent bonds result when two atoms of the same electronegativity bond. This occurs only when two atoms of the same element bond with each other.

Answer: Period 2 has much more conclusive trends. For all elements in period 2, as the atomic number increases, the atomic radius of the elements decreases, the electronegativity increases, and the ionization energy increases

What is the number of molecules of c2h5oh in a 3m solution that contains 4.00kg h2o?
Veronika [31]
 The number  of C2H5OH  in a 3 m solution that contain 4.00kg H2O is calculate as below

M = moles of the solute/Kg  of water

that is 3M = moles of solute/ 4 Kg
multiply  both side by  4

moles of the  solute  is therefore = 12  moles

by use of Avogadro law constant

1 mole =6.02 x10^23  molecules

what  about 12 moles

=12 moles/1 moles  x 6.02 x10^23 = 7.224 x10^24 molecules

Chris is correct because the reactants and products do not have to have the same mass, but they do have to weigh the same.  Is the correct answer:) Hannah is right because the mass of the reactants was different than the mass of the products. is incorrect
