Answer:

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

the sharing of electrons allows each atom to attain the equivalent of a full outer shell, corresponding to a stable electronic configuration.

Answer:

B. A pair of electrons belongs to two atoms at the same time

Explanation:

Covalent bonding occurs between two unstable elements through sharing of pair of electrons. During bonding, two elements combines and shares a pair of electron to form a molecule. This electron completes both elements outermost shell and thereby forming a compound. Example of a compound that forms covalent bonding is sodium chloride (NaCl).

Sodium which is a group1 element possesses just one electron in its outer shell while chlorine, a group 7 element possess 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell making them unstable. Sodium acts as a donor by donating its lone pair of electron to chlorine thereby becoming a positively charged element while chlorine accepts this line pair of electron to completes its outermost shell making it stable and becoming negatively charged particle (being the acceptor). This bonding between this atoms if different elements is what is called covalent bonding.

What is the density of a sample of a substance with a volume of 120ml<br> and a mass of 90g?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.75 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

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

From the question

mass = 90 g

volume = 120 mL

We have

density =  \frac{90}{120}  =  \frac{9}{12}  =  \frac{3}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.75 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the mass, in pounds, of 389 mL of a gas that has a density of 1.29 g/L?
devlian [24]

Answer: Mass of gas is 0.001 pounds.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}

Given : Mass of gas = ?

Density of gas = 1.29g/L

Volume of gas = 389 ml = 0.389 L     (1L=1000ml)

Putting in the values we get:

1.29g/L=\frac{mass}{0.389L}

mass=0.5grams  

mass=0.5\times 0.002lb=0.001lb       (1g =0.002 lb)

Thus the mass of gas is 0.001 pounds.

Explain why vanadium (radius=134 pm) and copper (radius=128 pm) have nearly identical atomic radii, even though the atomic numbe
Viktor [21]
<span>There are few main factors affecting the atomic radii, the outermost electrons and the protons in the nucleus and also the shielding of the internal electrons. I would speculate that the difference in radii is given by the electron clouds since the electrons difference in these two elements is in the d orbital and both has at least 1 electron in the 4s (this 4s electron is the outermost electron in all the transition metals of this period). The atomic radio will be mostly dependent of these 4s electrons than in the d electrons. Besides that, you can see that increasing the atomic number will increase the number of protons in the nucleus decreasing the ratio of the atoms along a period. The Cu is an exception and will accommodate one of the 4s electrons in the p orbital.

</span><span>Regarding the density you can find the density of Cu = 8.96g/cm3 and vanadium = 6.0g/cm3. This also correlates with the idea that if these two atoms have similar volume and one has more mass (more protons;  density is the relationship between m/V), then a bigger mass for a similar volume will result in a bigger density.</span>
