Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when there occurs sharing of electrons between atoms.

For example, in hydrogen atom there is one electron in its orbit and in a chlorine atom there is 7 valence electron. So, in order to attain stability both hydrogen and chlorine share electrons when they come close to each other.

Whereas except hydrogen and chlorine rest of the given atoms will form ionic bond, that is, bond formed by transfer of electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that a pair of hydrogen and chlorine will form a covalent bond.

$\boxed{{\text{A}}{\text{. hydrogen and chlorine}}}$ will form a covalent bond.

Further Explanation:

The bond that is formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between the bonded atoms is called a covalent bond. It is also known as a molecular bond. Covalent compounds are those compounds which are formed by the electron sharing between two or more non-metals.

Following are some of the properties of covalent compounds:

1. These are brittle solids.

2. Low melting and boiling points.

3. Poor conductors of heat and electricity.

4. Low enthalpy of fusion.

Boron trichloride $\left( {{\text{BC}}{{\text{l}}_3}} \right)$ , silicon dioxide $\left( {{\text{Si}}{{\text{O}}_2}} \right)$ , and xenon hexafluoride $\left( {{\text{Xe}}{{\text{F}}_{\text{6}}}} \right)$ are some examples of covalent compounds.

Ionic bond results from the interaction of a metal with a non-metal. Metal atom loses electron by virtue of its low ionization energy and forms a cation. This electron is gained by the non-metal atom and an anion is formed.

Following are some of the properties of ionic compounds:

1. These are hard solids.

2. High melting and boiling points.

3. Good conductors of heat and electricity.

4. High enthalpy of fusion.

Sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium chloride (KCl) and barium oxide (BaO) are some of the examples of ionic compounds.

(A) Both hydrogen and chlorine are non-metals and the bond formed between two non-metals is a covalent bond. So hydrogen and chlorine will form covalent bonds with each other and the resulting compound HCl will be covalent compound.

(B) Sodium is metal while chlorine is a non-metal. So ionic bond will be formed by their interaction and the compound NaCl will be an ionic compound.

(C) Copper is metal while bromine is a non-metal. So ionic bond will be formed by their interaction and the compound CuBr will be an ionic compound.

(D) Zinc is metal while bromine is a non-metal. So ionic bond will be formed by their interaction and the compound ZnBr will be an ionic compound.

So covalent bond will only be formed by hydrogen and chlorine.

Question 20 (3 points) Why is the moon visible? Question 20 options: It is on fire. It reflects sunlight. Earth lights it up. It

alexgriva [62]

20. Answer is "it reflects sunlight".

The moon is not a star as sun. Hence, moon can't produce light by itself. The only reason that we can see the moon is it reflects the sunlight. According to the distance from the sun to the moon, the light reflection can be varied.

21. Answer is "Jupiter".

Asteroid belt is a region which is located between Mars and Jupiter and consists of asteroids and minor planets. This asteroid belt has the 4% as the mass of our moon. Due to the Jupiter's strong gravity, it is prevented a forming of new planet by this asteroid belt.

22. Answer is "they are equal".

The period of revolution is the time which is taken by a mass to go completely one round around another mass. For moon, the period of revolution is 27 days.
The period of rotation is the time taken by a mass to complete one round around its own axis. It is about 27 days for moon.

23. Answer is "The moon is in Earth's shadow".

Lunar eclipse happens when Sun, Earth and moon are directly aligned each other and Earth is located in between the Sun and the moon. Then the moon is covered by the Earth's shadow.

24. Answer is "In a solar eclipse, it is Earth that is caught in the umbra of the moon. In a lunar eclipse, it is the moon that is caught in the umbra of Earth".

In total lunar eclipse, Earth is located between Sun and the moon and they are directly aligned to each other. The moon is totally covered with the Earth's shadow.
Total solar eclipse can be seen when the moon is located between sun and Earth by completely covering the sun.

25. According to the given choices, we can get "Apollo" as the answer.

Apollo 8 is the first manned mission to the moon. From that there were several manned mission including first manned landing on the moon. The Apollo program was conducted by USA.

A reaction is spontaneous if ΔG is ___? negative, positive, or zero?

amm1812

Answer:

A reaction is spontaneous if ΔG is negative.

Explanation:

The change in free energy (ΔG) is the difference between the heat released during a process and the heat released for the same process occurring in a reversible manner.

The sign of ΔG gives an indication for the spontaneity of the reaction:

If ΔG is negative, the reaction is spontaneous.

If ΔG = zero, the reaction is at equilibrium.

If ΔG is positive, the reaction is non-spontaneous.
