The compound
is formed only by sharing of electrons between the atoms. The structure of the compound is shown in the image.
Each line between two atoms represents the sharing of an electron pair which results in the formation of a single bond. Since, carbon has 4 electrons in its valence shell and hydrogen has 1 electron in its valence shell so in order to complete the octet ( to have 8 electrons in their valence shell, noble gas configuration) to attain stability carbon needs 4 more electrons and hydrogen needs 1 electron. So, sharing of electron will occur as shown in the image and the formed compound is stable in nature.
Since, the bond that is formed by sharing of electrons between atoms is known as covalent bond. So, covalent bonding is most important in
.
Answer:
1. No 1 looks like a statement and not a question.
2.Ionic compounds are usually formed from the transfer of electrons from metals to Non metals. All others are Ionic compounds except HCl(Its a covalent compound).
3. The Formula would be K2S. Exchange of Radicals takes place. Sulphur has a -2 charge and potassium has a +1 charge. when they both exchange radicals... The compound is K2S.
4.Group 1 elements have only 1 electron in their outermost shell.
5. its charge will be +1 because it loses the 1 electron in its outermost shell.
6.Group 2 elements have 2electrons in their Valence shell.
7.Already answered. same as No 5.
8. Group 16;Also known as group 6. They have only 6 electrons in their outermost shell.
9.When they want to become stable... they acquire 2electrons to complete their octet... so they possess a -2 charge by forming an ion.
10. i)They form ions when Dissolve in solutions
ii) They are hard and brittle
iii) They have high boiling points
