Why do non-metals bond with each other to form covalent compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
larisa [96]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Because unlike ionic bonds (metal and a non-metal) where electrons are "stolen", covalent bonds are defined by the sharing of electrons between non-metals.

Identify one type of noncovalent bond present in each solid.
NeX [460]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question is not complete, the cmplete question is:

Identify one type of noncovalent bond present in each solid.

1) Table salt (NaCl)                2) Graphite (repeating)

a. hydrogen bonds

b. ionic interactions

c. van der Waals interactions

d. hydrophobic interactions

Answer:

1) Table salt

b. ionic interactions

Ionic bond are formed between atoms with incomplete outermost shell. Some atoms add electrons to their outermost shell to make the shell complete hence making it a negative ion while some atoms loses their electron to make the outermost shell complete becoming a positive ion. In NaCl, sodium (Na) has 1 electron in its outermost shell which it transfers to Cl which has 7 electrons in the outermost shell. Hence after the bonding the outermost shell of the atoms become complete.

2) Graphite

c. Van Der Waals interaction

Van der waal  forces are weak interaction between molecules that exist between close atoms. Carbon atoms in graphite planes have covalent bond, these graphite planes are known as graphenes. Bonds between graphenes are very weak and are van der waals forces.

A compound is analyzed and found to contain 22.10%Al, 25.40%P, and 52.50%O. What is the empirical formula of the compound?
Sindrei [870]

A compound is analyzed and found to contain 22.10%Al, 25.40%P, and 52.50%O

Let the total mass of compound = 100g

The mass of Aluminum = 22.10 g

Moles of Al = mass / atomic mass = 22.10 /23= 0.96

The mass of P = 25.40 g

Moles of P = 25.40 / 31 = 0.819

The mass of oxygen  = 52.50 g

Moles of oxygen = 52.50 / 16= 3.28

The mole ratio of the two elements will be

Al = 0.96/0.819 = 1.17

P = 0.819/0.819 = 1

O = 3.28 / 0.819 = 4

The whole number ratio will be 1 : 1 : 4

So formula will be AlPO4
