The electronegativities of carbon and sulfur are almost the same. Both elements form covalently bonded compounds with hydrogen.

Why is hydrogen sulfide a polar compound while methane is a nonpolar compound?
a.Sulfur has a stronger attraction for electrons than does carbon
b.A hydrogen sulfide molecule has lone pairs of electrons
c.Sulfur forms ionic bonds with hydrogen while carbon forms covalent bonds
d.Sulfur ions are larger than carbon ions

Answer:

b. A hydrogen sulfide molecule has lone pairs of electrons

Explanation:

The presence of lone pairs indictates that the molecule will be polar unless its molecular geometry is linear or square planar. In the case of H2S, its shape is bent due to the lone pair and it is a slightly polar molecule.

What is the atomic mass of an atom equal to?​
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: A property closely related to an atom's mass number is its atomic mass. The atomic mass of a single atom is simply its total mass and is typically expressed in atomic mass units or amu. By definition, an atom of carbon with six neutrons, carbon-12, has an atomic mass of 12 amu.

Hope this helps....... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!! :D

Which of the following describes a covalent bond?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

D. It is the sharing of electrons between atoms with an electronegativity difference below 1.7

Covalent bonds share electrons, whereas ionic bonds exchange electrons. Covalent bonds have an electronegativity of 0.0-1.7 (0.0-0.3 is a nonpolar covalent bond and 0.3-1.7 is a polar covalent bond). Ionic bonds are bonds that go beyond the electronegativity of 1.7 to 4.0 (1.7-4.0).
