What types of atoms typically form covalent bonds?
The correct answer:
d) Nonmetals with nonmetals, because their difference in electronegativity is below 1.7.
En example to explain:
An example of a covalent bonding: HCl -> 2 nonmentals
-> a difference in electronegativity less than 1.7:
EN(Cl) = 3.0 and EN (H) = 2.1 (you can search these values in a periodic table)
/\EN = 3.0 - 2.1 = 0.9
0.9 < 1.7

To help you answer this question, you can search a sample reaction in the internet for hydroboration-oxidation. Take a look at the attached picture. The sample reaction is shown at the top. We can deduce that the original compound must be an alkene. Following the pattern, compound a must be 2-methylbutene as shown in the picture.
Acceleration (change of movement) of an object is dependent on the net force acting on it and its mass.
The relationship between acceleration (a), force (f) and mass (m) is given by the Second Lay of Newton: f = m * a.
Note that the force, f, is the net force acting on the objetct.
I hope this help you.
