What happens when a covalent bond vs. an ionic bond is formed?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bas_tet [7]2 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. ... A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms. Atoms form covalent bonds in order to reach a more stable state.

Which of the following is the correct formula for Ca2+ reacting with NO2??
mariarad [96]

Answer:

B. Ca(NO2)2

Explanation:

Ions (charged atoms) combine with one another to form stable ionic compounds. In this case, calicium ion (Ca2+) is said to react with NO2, which has a charge of -1 i.e. +1-1(2) = 1-2 = -1.

This means that calcium has a charge of +2 while nitrite ion has charge of -1, hence, when they combine, they exchange their charges, which become their subscript as follows:

Ca2+ + NO2- → Ca(NO2)2

Ca(NO2)2 is a stable ionic compound called calcium nitrite. Notice that it takes two atoms of NO2- to react with one atom of Ca2+.

In a fuel cell there is direct conversion of mechanical energy into electricity.
rewona [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A fuel cell uses both hydrogen and oxygen as fuels. At the cathode oxygen is reduced to water according to the equation

O2+4H^+ +4e ------>2H2O

And hydrogen is oxidized at the anode:

2H2------>4H^+ +4e

Fuel cells produce only water as a by product hence they are environment friendly
