Answer: C) Non-metals can share pairs of electrons and form covalent bonds
Explanation: The principal reason why it is non-metals that can form covalent bonds is because of their electronegativities. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.
The participating atoms in a covalent bond have to be able to hold the shared electron in place & it is this attraction towards the centre of each participating atom that holds the electrons in place. Metals aren't electronegative, they don't attract electrons towards each other, they'd rather even push the electrons away from themselves (electropositive) to be stable. The closest concept of metals to shared electrons is in metallic bonding, where metals push and donate their valence electrons to an electron cloud which is free to move around the bulk of the metallic structure. But this is nowhere near the type of bonding that exist in covalent bonds.
<u>Solar Energy & Wind Power.</u>
One of the main thing about renewable energy, it will never run out, and it saves you money.
The correct option is B.
Stars live out most of their lives at MAIN SEQUENCE. Stars generally are divided into three major stages, these are:
1. Pro stars and pre-main sequence star
2. Main sequence and giant star
3. Variable stars
Major stages in the life of a star can last for millions of years.
Answer:
1 gramo de metano aporta 50.125 kilojoules.
1 gramo de metano aporta 48.246 kilojoules.
Explanation:
La cantidad de energía liberada por la combustión de una unidad de masa del hidrocarburo (
), en kilojoules por mol, es igual a la cantidad de energía liberada por mol de compuesto (
), en kilojoules por mol, dividido por su masa molar (
), en gramos por mol:
(1)
A continuación, analizamos cada caso:
Metano
1 gramo de metano aporta 50.125 kilojoules.
Octano
1 gramo de metano aporta 48.246 kilojoules.
