Forming a covalent bond
A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons. Covalent bonding occurs in most non-metal elements, and in compounds formed between non-metals.
These shared electrons are found in the outer shells of the atoms. Usually each atom contributes one electron to the shared pair of electrons.
The slideshow shows how a covalent bond forms between a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom, making hydrogen chloride.
Structures of a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom.
1. A hydrogen atom with one electron and a chlorine atom with 17 electrons
Molecules
Most covalently bonded substances consist of small molecules. A molecule is a group of two or more atoms joined together by covalent bonds. Molecules of the same element or compound always contain the same number of atoms of each element.
The atoms in a molecule are always joined together by a covalent bond. Substances that are made up of ions do not form molecules.
Sizes of atoms and simple molecules
A small molecule contains only a few atoms, so atoms and small molecules have a similar range of sizes. They are very small, typically around 0.1 nm or 1 × 10-10 m across.

Answer:
2.1 x 10^-2
Explanation:
Divide 8.4 x 10^-3 x 8.4 x 10^-3 by 5.82 x 10^-2 and you end up with 2.1 x 10^-2
<h2>
Answer: 131.9 g</h2>
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>Write a Balanced Equation for the decomposition</u>
CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂
<u></u>
<u>Find Moles of CO₂ Produced</u>
Since the mole ratio of CaCO₃ to CO₂ is 1 to 1,
the moles of CaCO₃ = moles of CO₂
moles of CaCO₃ = mass ÷ molar mass
= 300 g ÷ 100.087 g/mol
= 2.997 moles
∴ moles of CO₂ = 2.997 moles
<u>Determine Mass of CO₂</u>
Mass = moles × molar mass
= 2.997 mol × 44.01 g/mol
= 131.9 g
<u></u>
<h3>∴ when 300 g of calcium carbonate is decomposed, it produces 131.9 g of carbon dioxide.</h3>
