Answer:

Explanation:

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl. These elements have many electrons in their outermost level (valence electrons) and have a tendency to gain electrons to acquire the stability of the electronic structure of noble gas.

The covalent bond between two atoms can be polar or nonpolar. If the atoms are equal, the bond will be nonpolar (since no atom attracts electrons more strongly). But, if the atoms are different, the bond will be polarized towards the most electronegative atom, because it will be the atom that attracts the electron pair with more force. Then it will be polar.

It can occur in a molecule that the bonds are polar and the molecule is nonpolar. This occurs because of the geometry of the molecule, which causes them to cancel the different equal polar bonds of the molecule.

In carbon tetrachloride the bonds are polar, but the tetrahedral geometry of the molecule causes all four dipoles to cancel out and the molecule to be apolar.

How do hydrogen ions (h+) and chloride ions (cl–) get into the lumen of the stomach?
user100 [1]
In the stomach cell, the enzyme carbonic anhydrase converts one molecule of carbon dioxide and one molecule of water indirectly into a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and a hydrogen ion (H+). In the stomach ion exchange is used to move H+ ions out the cells and into the lumen of the stomach

A vacuum gage connected to a chamber reads 35 kpa at a location where the atmospheric pressure is 92 kpa. determine the absolute
stealth61 [152]

Vacuum gage connected to a chamber reads 35 kpa at a location where the atmospheric pressure is 92 kpa then the  absolute pressure in the chamber and express is 57kpa

Gauge pressure is the pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. Gauge pressure is positive for pressures above atmospheric pressure, and negative for pressures and absolute pressure is the sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure

Here to find absolute pressure atmospheric pressure=92kpa and  vacuum gage=35 kpa                                      

Pabsolute pressure=Patmospehric pressure - Pvaccume

92-35=57kpa

Porquê que o potássio é mais reativo que o cálcio? urgente!
saul85 [17]

Answer: O potássio possui apenas um elétron de valência. ... Considerando que o cálcio possui dois elétrons de valência, requer mais energia para a remoção de um elétron de valência. Devido a esse potássio, é mais reativo que o cálcio.
