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

How can you demonstrate that a piece of chalk has mass?
Dmitry [639]
You can demonstrate that a piece of chalk has mass by putting it on a pan scale. Pan scales determine mass in grams. Also if the mass feels like it has some weight to it (although not to be confused with weight, they are two different things!), it most likely has mass.

Is nuclear energy poised to be part of America’s future?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Nuclear energy powers our businesses, homes and military. America’s 95 operating nuclear reactors generate approximately 20% of our nation’s electricity and provide over half of our carbon-free energy. They also create good-paying jobs at power plants and uranium mines. Wyoming produced 87% of America’s domestic uranium supply in 2018.

Today, nuclear energy faces serious hurdles. Regulatory costs and subsidies for renewable energy technologies are forcing America’s nuclear power plants to close at an alarming rate.

Russia and China are subsidizing their government-owned nuclear companies to assert their energy influence around the world. China is searching the globe for uranium reserves and investing heavily in the countries where it’s found. They want to secure more nuclear fuel for themselves and increase their control of the global supply.

Meanwhile, American nuclear power plants have come to rely on cheap Russian imports of uranium to meet their nuclear fuel needs. Right now, roughly 40% of the uranium coming into the United States originates in Russia or its satellite states of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Russian-backed companies are developing fuel that can be placed directly in American reactors.
