Answer:
A covalent chemical bond is one in which <u>outer-shell electrons of two atoms are shared so as to satisfactorily fill their respective orbitals</u>.
Explanation:
Covalent bonds are formed between two atoms having their electronegativity difference less than 1.7. In this type of bonding the valence electrons of one atoms forms molecular bond with the valence electrons of another atom. The electrons are mutually shared.
Covalent bond can be non-polar as for example formed between hydrogen and carbon atoms.
Also, covalent bond can be polar in nature as that formed between hydrogen and chlorine atoms because the chlorine atom is more electronegative and hence attracts the electrons more towards itself making density of electrons less on hydrogen atom.
Answer:
1.Very good electrical conductivity :<u> Metals</u> (Decreacing order of conductivity)
- <em>Silver > Copper > Gold > aluminium</em>
2. Amphoteric <u>: Metal elements</u>
- <em>Beryllium , Aluminium , Zinc </em>,
3.Gaseous at room temperature: mostly <u>Nobel gases elements</u> and some non - metal elements.
- <em>Helium ,neon , argon , krypton , fluorine , Oxygen , nitrogen</em>
4.Solid at room temperature:<u> Mostly Metals</u> (few non-metals, metalloid elements)
- <em>Metals (Sodium , potassium , calcium , gold are solid)</em>
<em>Non- metals(Carbon ,Boron )</em>
<em>Metalloids(antimony)</em>
<em>5.</em> Brittle <em>: </em><u>non - metals </u>(can't be rolled into wires)
<em>Hydrogen , carbon , sulfur , phosphorus</em><u> </u>
