What happens to valence electrons when a covalent bond forms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability

Sulfur trioxide decomposes to form sulfur dioxide and oxygen, like this: SO3(g)-------SO2(g) + O2(g) Write the pressure equilibr
Paul [167]

Answer:

Kp = P(SO2)  *   P(O2)  / P(SO3)

Explanation:

The equation is given as;

SO3(g)  --> SO2(g) + O2(g)

In the pressurer equilibrium constant expression, only the gaseous entities are considered.

It is given as;

Kp = P(products)   /  P(reactants)

Product are  SO2(g) and O2(g)

Reactant is SO3(g)

Kp = P(SO2)  *   P(O2)  / P(SO3)

The isotope of hydrogen that has two neutrons is called A. hydrogen. B. deuterium. C. tritium. D. dihydrogen.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

C.Tritium

Explanation:

Isotopes are forms of an element with different mass number but same atomic number. Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, while atomic number is the number of protons.

Mass number = protons +neutrons.

Atomic number = protons only

We can say that mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons.

The number of neutrons is what differentiates the isotopes of an element.

For hydrogen element, it has three isotopes namely; protium, deuterium and tritium which have 0,1 and 2 neutrons respectively. Thus the answer is C
