Answer: Covalent bonding is when atoms of different elements  share electrons

Explanation: Taking Methane CH₄

<h3>it contains Hydrogen and Carbon atoms pairing electrons. the electronic configuration for carbon is 2,4 that is to say it has 4 electrons in its valence shell (outer shell) and hydrogen has 1 so carbon shares its four electrons with four hydrogen atoms thus forming a covalent bond. so they now have a stable arrangement of electrons in their outer shell ,thus giving CH₄</h3>

Balance the equation for the reaction in which sodium oxide reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

➢ \: Balance \:  the  \: equation \:  for \:  the  \: reaction \\  in \:  which \:  sodium  \: oxide \:  reacts  \\ with  \: water \:  to \:  form  \: sodium \:  hydroxide.

⇒ We have Na2O + H2O --> NaOH. We have 2 sodiums and 2 oxygens and 2 hydrogens on the left side, but only one of each on the right side.

Sodium Oxide + Water → Sodium Hydroxide

⇒ Na2O + H2O → 2NaOH .

Sodium oxide is used in ceramics and glasses. Sodium oxide reacts exothermically with cold water to produce sodium hydroxide solution.

1. Which of the following is a combination reaction?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter A

Explanation:

A combination reaction is when there are two reactants that gives only one product.

a. 2SO2 + O2—> 2SO3                          This is a combination reaction,

                                                               2 reactants gives one product.

b. Zn + Cu(NO3)2–>Zn(NO3)2 + Cu     This is not a combination reaction,

                                                                it's a single replacement reaction.

c. 2H2O2–> 2H2O+O2                          This is a decomposition reaction

d. AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl+NaNO3        THis is a double replacement reaction.

which nonmetals could form an ionic compound with the formula MgX^2 ( where X represents the nonmetal)? (possible, not possible)
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Ionic compound is formed when a metal and a nonmetal are attached.

If we have MgX₂, that means that the nonmetal must have a valence of -1.

From the list the nonmetals with a valence of -1 are:

Bromine(Br) and  fluorine(F).
