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.

Determine the nuclear composition (number of protons and neutrons) of the following isotopes. (a) chromium-52 protons neutrons (

madreJ [45]

Answer: a) chromium-52 : protons = 24, neutrons = 28

selenium - 80 : protons = 34, neutrons = 46

molybdenum-98: protons = 42, neutrons = 56

xenon-132: protons = 54, neutrons = 78

ytterbium-174 : protons = 70, neutrons = 104

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Thus, number of protons = atomic number

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

a) chromium-52 :

Atomic number of Chromium is 24 hence number of protons = 24

52= 24+ Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 28

b) selenium - 80 :

Atomic number of selenium is 34 hence number of protons = 34

80 = 34 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 46

c) molybdenum - 98 :

Atomic number of molybdenum is 42 is hence number of protons = 42

98 = 42 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 56

d) xenon-132:

Atomic number of xenon is 54 hence number of protons = 54

132 = 54 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 78

e) ytterbium-174:

Atomic number of ytterbium is 70 and hence number of protons = 70

174 = 70 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 104

Consider the elements: Na, Mg, Al, Si, P.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The elements mentioned in the series are Na, Mg, Al, Si, and P. It can be seen that all these elements are located in the same period. The atomic number of the mentioned elements are Na-11, Mg-12, Al-13, Si-14, and P-15.

a) There will be an increase in the ionization energy with the increase in the element's atomic number across a period. More energy is needed to withdraw an electron from a completely occupied shell in comparison to an incompletely occupied shell.

The atomic number of Na is 11. When one electron is withdrawn from Na, it gets converted into the inert gas configuration of Ne. Thus, it will require more energy to withdraw the second electron from Na. Hence, Na exhibits the lowest second ionization energy.

b) Across the period, with an increase in the element's atomic number, the atomic radii reduces from left to right. Thus, P exhibits the smallest atomic radius.

c) The metallic nature of the elements reduces from left to right across a period in the periodic table. Thus, P is the least metallic element.

d) Diamagnetic signifies towards the element that exhibits pair electrons in its sub-shells. The electronic configuration of Mg is,

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2

In Mg, no unpaired electrons are present, while all the remaining elements mentioned exhibit unpaired electrons in their valence shell. Thus, Mg is the diamagnetic element.

. A dough that is high in fat and sugar, and sometimes eggs.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

LEAN DOUGHS

Explanation:

A lean dough is a dough low in fat and sugar. Hard crust breads and rolls such as French and Italian breads and pizza crusts. Other white and whole wheat breads and dinner rolls. These are higher in fat and sugar and sometimes contain eggs and milk solids, because they are richer, they have a softer crust.

This is true. Think about when you make pasta. The colander acts as a filter and doesn't let the past a through but allows the extra water to escape because the pasta is too big to fit.

A 75 g piece of gold (Au) at 1000 K is dropped into 200 g of H2O at 300K in an insulated container at 1 bar. Calculate the tempe

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The temperature of the system once the equilibrium has been reached = 372.55K

Explanation:

Heat capacity of gold = 129 J/Kg*c.

Heat capacity of water

4,184 J/Kg*c.

Mass of gold = 75g = 0.075Kg

Mass of water = 200g = 0.2Kg

From conservation of energy

m1×C1×(t11 - t2) = m2×C2×(t2- t21)

Substituting we have

0.075 × 129×(1000-t2) = 0.2× 4184×( t2 -300) =solving for t2, we have

933.55×t2 = 347790

or t2 = 372.55K

The temperature of the system once the equilibrium has been reached = 372.55K
