Why wouldn't two cations form a covalent bond?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Allushta [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons between atoms. In addition, the ionization energy of the atom is too large and the electron affinity of the atom is too small for ionic bonding to occur.

For example: carbon does not form ionic bonds because it has 4 valence electrons, half of an octet.

A sample of paraffin wax undergoes the following change: C25H52(s) → C25H52(l)
nalin [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Answer: Intermolecular forces

The reason for this answer is because the substance (paraffin wax) only changed it's state from solid to liquid and didn't undergo a breakage in it's covalent bond within it's carbon chain which would have produced another substance.

(b) Solid substances are generally more dense than there corresponding liquid substances because the more compact particles are (which occurs in solids), the more dense they become. They are thus more dense than liquids because liquids have there particles loosely packed and well spaced making them less dense than there corresponding solids. Hence, the solid paraffin wax was going to become less dense because it's particles moved from being tightly packed (as solids) to being loosely packed (as liquids). Density refers to mass per volume but can also be described as the level of compactness of a substance. Thus, since liquid is not as compact as solid, it can be said to be less dense than solids.

Choose all of the answers that are correct when describing this atom.
gregori [183]
I believe that this atom is  chlorine and the atom has an overall charge of zero.
Chlorine is chemical element which is atomic number 17 in the periodic table. Each chlorine atom has 17 protons (positively charged) in the nucleus balanced by 17 electrons (negatively charged) in the energy shells ( thus an overall charge of zero)

An extremely soluble salt is added to water, and all of it dissolves. Is it at equilibrium? Explain.
alexdok [17]
Once the substance stops dissolving, the system is at equlibrium with the water and the undissolved salt now, if it is in the process of dissolving because it is completely soluble but has not been able to completely dissolve, it is not at equilibrium

When Aluminum oxide is heated with iron no reaction takes place?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

That's correct. Once Aluminum becomes an ion, it is very hard to force it to take back its electrons. Only a few elements can do it. Iron is not one of them.
