Why don't metals form covalent compounds?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago

Metals don't form covalent bonds because of the low ionization energes of the metal atoms. It is easier for them to release electrons rather than sharing it. But this is not always the case, there are some metals that can form covalent bonds.

What type of grass is poisioness
ikadub [295]

Answer: Tall fescue can be harmful to grazing cattle and horses because the grass can become tough and infected with endophytes, causing poor grazing. Switchgrass and tall fescue are less likely to be poisonous to dogs, cats or humans than to horses or cattle, but eating either of them might cause stomach upset.

When an ionic compound dissolves in water: When an ionic compound dissolves in water: the solvent-solute attractive forces overc
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

each of the above (A, B, and C) occurs

Explanation:

When an ionic compound dissolves in the water, the following happens :

-- the solvent solute attractive forces tries to overcome the solute solute attractions.

-- the water dipoles' negative end attracts the positive ions

--  the water dipoles' positive end attracts the negative ions

For example,

NaCl which is an ionic compound and also a strong electrolyte, it dissociates into water on the hydrated Na cations as well as Cl anions.

In water, the oxygen has negative charge and thus attracts the positive ions of the sodium, whereas the hydrogen is of positive and it attract the ions of chlorine which is negative.

At a certain temperature, the solubility of strontium arsenate, Sr3(AsO4)2, is 0.0540 g/L. What is the Ksp of this salt at this
blondinia [14]
 <span>Get into moles first. .0590 grams over 540.8 grams per mole = 1.09 x l0^-4 moles 

Sr3(As04)2 = 3 Sr++(aq) plus 2 As04^-3(aq) 

Ksp = (Sr++)^3(As04^-3)^2 

(Sr++) = 3 X l.09 x l0^-4 = 3.27 x l0^-4 

(As04^-3) = 2 x l.09 x l0^-4 = 2.18 x l0^-4 

<span>Ksp = (3.27 x l0^-4)^3 (2.18 x l0^-4)^2 which equals 1.66 x 10^-18th

If the volume occupied by the air in a bicycle pump is 525 cm3, and the pressure changes from 73.2 kPa to 122.5 k.Pa as the pist
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

V_2=313.71\ cm^3

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V_1=525\ cm^3

The pressure changes from 73.2 kPa to 122.5 k.Pa.

We need to find the new volume occupied by the air. Let it is V₂. It can be calculated using Boyle's law such that,

P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{73.2\times 525}{122.5}\\\\V_2=313.71\ cm^3

So, the new volume is 313.71\ cm^3.
