5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Atoms are held together by covalent bonds when they share electrons between themselves.

Covalent bonds are bonds that are formed between non-metals usually with a low electronegative difference between them. In this bond type, two non-metals donate electrons which are shared between the combining atoms and this makes them both like the corresponding noble gases. The shared electrons is what forms the covalent bonds.

An example of covalent bond is HCl, H₂S, SO₂, CO₂, O₂ etc

Write a balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when glucose (C6H12O6) reacts with oxygen. Use the sma
Stels [109]

Answer:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ —> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

Explanation:

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) react with oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).

The equation can be written as follow:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O

The above equation can be balance as illustrated below:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O

There are 6 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 6 in front of CO₂ as shown below:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ —> 6CO₂ + H₂O

There are 12 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 6 in front of H₂O as shown below:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ —> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

There are a total of 8 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 18 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by 6 in front of O₂ as shown below:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ —> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

Now, the equation is balanced.

The radius of a circle is 7.31. How should the circle area be reported?
Alona [7]

I'm not sure but it should be 7.31 times 2 times 3.14 or pi

7.31 x 2 x 3.14 = 45.9068

If you need to round to the nearest tenth it will be 45.9

If you need to round to the nearest hundredth it will be 45.91

Why are different units of measurement used for distances in space
AlexFokin [52]

Not all units of measurement are equal, but the value of each unit is used for its intended purpose, so we have different units of measurement for each problem.
