Why wouldn't two cations form a covalent bond?

1 answer:

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 gas at 313 K and 4.95 atm occupies 85.62 L of space. Which

Daniel [21]

Answer: 85.62 L represents volume (V).

Explanation:

Volume is defined as the amount or quantity of a given substance or an object.

According to ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

P = pressure of gas = 4.95 atm

V = Volume of gas = 85.62 L

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = $0.0821Latm/Kmol$

T =temperature = $313K$

Thus 85.62 L represents volume (V).

The atomic number is the number of protons an element has, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. All elements have no charge so the number of electrons will always equal the number of protons for an element so there are 6 electrons.
