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

What volume would 3.01•1023 molecules of oxygen gas occupy at STP?

Sliva [168]

First, find moles of oxygen gas: (3.01 x10^23 molec.)/(6.02 x10^23) =0.5mol O2

Second, multiply moles by the standard molar volume of a gas at STP:(0.5mol)(22.4L) = 11.2L O2
