Why don't metals form covalent compounds?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago
8 0
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.

How does 2 Na (s) + Cl2 (g) = NaCl (s) represent the coefficient in the chemical equation
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The 2 would be placed in front of the reactant Na and in front of the product NaCl

2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl

Explanation:

This is because the ratio of elements needs to be balanced on both sides.

On the reactants side, there are 2 Na molecules and 2 Cl molecules

On the products side, there are 2 Na molecules and 2 Cl molecules

So, now the equation is balanced

Evaluate three communication skills that can assist you in sustaining positive relationships​
Tpy6a [65]

1. Accept and celebrate differences. One of the biggest challenges we experience in relationships is that we are all different. We can perceive the world in many ways. Certainly astumbling block that we come across when we try to build relationships is a desire or an expectation that people will think like we do and, in this way, it is so much easier to create a rapport. We feel more comfortable when we feel that people “get” us and can see our point of view. Life, however, would be very dull if we were all the same and, while we may find it initially easier, the novelty of sameness soon would wear off. So accepting and celebrating that we are all different is a great starting point.

2. Listen effectively. Listening is a crucial skill in boosting another person’s self-esteem, the silent form of flattery that makes people feel supported and valued. Listening and understanding what others communicate to us is the most important part of successful interaction and vice versa.

Active or reflective listening is the single most useful and important listening skill. In active listening, we also are genuinely interested in understanding what the other person is thinking, feeling, wanting, or what the message means, and we are active in checking out our understanding before we respond with our own new message. We restate or paraphrase our understanding of their message and reflect it back to the sender for verification. This verification or feedback process is what distinguishes active listening and makes it effective.

3. Give people your time. Giving time to people is also a huge gift. In a world where time is of the essence and we are trying to fit in more than one lifetime, we don’t always have the time to give to our loved ones, friends, and work colleagues. Technology has somewhat eroded our ability to build real rapport and we attempt to multi-task by texting and talking at the same time.

Being present in the time you give to people is also important, so that, when you are with someone, you are truly with someone and not dwelling in the past or worrying about the future. The connection we make with other people is the verytouchstone of our existence, and devoting time, energy, and effort to developing and building relationships is one of the most valuable life skills.

If 100 mL of a 12 M solution of HCl is diluted to a final volume of 500 mL, what would be the final concentration of the diluted
AURORKA [14]
Dilution formula:
mv = MV

where one side is concentration × volume BEFORE dilution and the other side is concentration × volume AFTER dilution. 

(100mL) × (12 M) = (500mL) × (X)
(1200 M·mL) = (500mL) × (X)
(1200 M·mL) / (500mL) = X
2.4 M = X
