Answer:

A) the sharing of an electron pair

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

These compounds are insoluble , hard, having low melting and boiling points and have low conductivity.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

Consider the following equilibrium:

Ainat [17]

<u>Answer: </u>The equation which is wrong is $K_p=K_c(RT)^{-5}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given reaction:

$4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)$

The expression for $K_c\text{ and }K_p$ is given by:

$K_c=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}$

$K_p=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}$

The concentration of solids are taken to be 1, only concentration of gases and liquid states are taken. The pressure of only gases are taken.

Relationship between $K_p\text{ and }K_c$ is given by the expression:

$K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n_g}$

where,

$\Delta n_g$ = number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants

R = gas constant

T= temperature

For the above reaction,

$\Delta n_g$ = number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants = 0 - 3 = -3

Hence, the expression for $K_p$ is:

$K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{-3}$

Therefore, the equation which is wrong is $K_p=K_c(RT)^{-5}$

Which group on the periodic table would have zero electronegativity because they have a full octet?

bija089 [108]

The group on the periodic table that would have 0 electronegativity due to the fact that their valence shell is full, i.e, have a full octet would be the inert or noble gases. They have a total of 8 electrons in their valence shell and are thus inert and cannot strongly attract electrons toward itself, from neighbouring atom electrons as it does not need to.
