If oxygen, symbol o, undergoes a covalent bond it wants to form how many bonds

Chemistry

Marysya12 [62]4 years ago

Answer: 2.


Explanation:


1) The number of bonds that an atom is willing to form may be predicted in terms of the octet rule.


2) Atomic number of oxygen is 8, which implies that the atom has 8 electrons.


3) The electron configuration of oxygen is 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.


4) So, oxygen has 6 electrons in its valence shell.


5) The octet rule states that any atom will try to reach the configuration of the closest noble gas by "gaiing" or "giving" the electrons to have the 8 electrons in the outer shell.


6) Then oxygen will be willing to share two electrons with other atoms to complete, along with its own 6 electrons, the 8 electrons, which leads to the configuration of the noble gas Ne.


7) Each electron shared contributes to the formation of a bond. That is why by sharing two electrons, oxygen will form two covalent bonds.

What is the electron configuration of an element with atomic number 20? A. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 B. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 C. 1s2 2s2
Cerrena [4.2K]

D.  The number of electrons equals the atomic number for a neutral element.  Each number after the letter refers to the number of electrons in that shell.  So for D, 2+2+6+2+6+2 = 20 electrons, which is equal to the atomic number.

in order to find the molar mass of an unknown compound, a research scientist prepared a solution of 0.930 g of an unknown in 125
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Molar mass→ 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's apply the formula for freezing point depression:

ΔT = Kf . m

ΔT = 74.2°C - 73.4°C → 0.8°C

Difference between the freezing T° of pure solvent and freezing T° of solution

Kf = Cryoscopic constant → 5.5°C/m

So, if we replace in the formula

ΔT = Kf . m → ΔT / Kf = m

0.8°C / 5.5 m/°C = m → 0.0516 mol/kg

These are the moles in 1 kg of solvent so let's find out the moles in our mass of solvent which is 0.125 kg

0.0516 mol/kg . 0.125 kg = 6.45×10⁻³ moles. Now we can determine the molar mass:

Molar mass (mol/kg) → 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol

For single bonds between similar types of atoms, how does the strength of the bond relate to the sizes of the atoms? Explain.
uysha [10]

When comparing single bonds between atoms of comparable types, the stronger the bond is, the bigger the atom, the weaker it is.

The length of the X-H bond lengthens while the strength of the bond shortens with increasing halogen size (F-H strongest, I-H weakest). When comparing single bonds between atoms of similar sorts, the larger the atom, the weaker the bond. It can be explained by the fact that less energy is required to break the bond the bigger the atom's atomic size. The force of attraction from the nucleus to the outermost orbit will be less for iodine since it has a larger atom than the other elements in the group.

What is an ideal gas? how many ideal gases are there in the universe?
tiny-mole [99]
Ideal gases are hypothetical gases whose molecules occupy negligible space and have no interactions, and that consequently obeys the gas laws exactly.
Not exactly sure about the amount...
I hope this helps! :)
