A covalent bond means shared electrons between atoms. This is similar to kids sharing markers because the markers (electrons) are being shared between the kids (atoms). Covalent bonds are different than this metaphor because 1) the electrons are constantly moving about while the kids can steal and keep the markers and 2) the electrons and atoms are physically smaller
<span>The number of molecules of each gas must be equal since 1 mol of any gas needs to contain 6.02x10^23 molecules. So 1mol O</span>₂ and 1mol CO both need to contain 6.02x10^23 molecules
<span>The shininess of an element is also referred to as "metallic luster." The element that is most likely to have a metallic luster is B. rhodium.
Arsenic has a dull luster, chlorine and hydrogen are gases so they don't have luster.

A catalyst is when a chemical reaction occurs faster than normal.
The system is unaffected during a catalyst because both forward and reverse reactions are affected, meaning that quilibrium will occur faster nothing will change.
