Maximum number of covalent bonds that an oxygen atom can make with hydrogen is 2.
- the ground state electronic configuration of oxygen is 2s² 2p⁴ that means it has 6 electrons in its valence shell and require two electrons are required to complete its octate.
- Two bonds are created when an electron donor atom shares the two needed electrons with oxygen. The ability of two oxygen atoms to share valence electrons results in the creation of a double bond between the two atoms.
- There are no longer any empty orbitals in the octet of oxygen after it is complete. As a result, it is unable to accept more electrons or create more bonds.
Therefore, Oxygen can only generate two bonds because it needs two additional electrons to complete its octet, after which it will run out of empty orbitals in which to receive additional electrons and create additional bonds.

<span>The question says,'Mathew was working with different concentrations of hydrochloric acid in the lab. Which of these would best describe the resulsts Mathew would see if he was using a conductivity apparatus in each of the different acid concentration. The correct answer is C. This is because, acids conduct electricity, the stronger the acid, the brighter the electricity that will be produced while the weaker the acid, the weaker the electricity that will be produced. Thus, higher concentration equals tronger electricity.</span>
Zinc density = 7.10 = 46.77/x ==> x = 46.77/7.10 =6.6 cm3 or 6.6 ml
New water level = 33.33+ 6.6 = 39.93 ml
