Since the choices are missing, I will tell you why non-metals tend to form covalent bonds. You can then link this answer to the best fit choice.
Ionic bond is only formed due to an electrostatic attraction force between ions of opposite charges which cannot happen in case of non-metals whose ions are mostly anions.
On the other hand, a covalent bond is formed due to electrons being shared among different atoms. This conditions is satisfied for the bonds between non-metals
One definition of an acid is a molecule that can donate a H+ ion. So for example if you have an acid such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) in water, HCl will donate it's H+ to the H2O molecule, forming Cl- and H3O+.
In contrast, a base is a molecule that accepts H+ ions. This means a base such as NH3 reacts with H2O to form OH- and NH4.
So when pH is measured, it is the ratio of H3O+ ions to OH- ions. If there are more H3O+ ions, you then know that there are more acidic molecules in the solution, since they must be giving away their H+ ions.
So a solution with an acid in it will have more H3O+ ions (which can be described as H+ ions) in it. However, an acid by itself will have nothing to donate H+ ions to.

Answer:
1. <u>No, you cannot calculate the solubility of X in water at 26ºC.</u>
Explanation:
You cannot calculate the solubility of X in <em>water at 26 degrees Celsius </em>because you do not know whether the solution formed by dissolving the crystals in 3.00 liters of water is saturaed or not.
The only way to determine the solubility of the compound X is by dissolving the crystals in certain (measured) amount of water and making sure that some crystals remain undissolved, as a solid on the bottom of the beaker.
Next, you should filter the solution to remove the undissolved crystals. Then, weigh the solution, evaporate, wash, dry, and weigh the crystals.
Then you have the mass of the crystals dissolved and the mass of the solution which will let you calculate the mass of pure water, and then the solubility.
Answer:
basically the middle of an earthquake
This sounds good so far.
May want to check how you say "and are spread way out" - a better way to say it would be "the crystals are spread out"
