Answer: A: high ionization energies; high electron affinitlies.
Explanation: Covalent bonds are basically about sharing of electrons between two atoms to achieve that stable structure. They are formed between two atoms when both have similar tendencies to attract electrons to themselves (i.e., when both atoms have identical or fairly similar ionization energies and electron affinities). Covalent bonding usually occurs between two non-metals.
For effective and proper bonding, the two atoms involved in the covalent bonding exercise should be small and hungry for electrons. This is to enable the nuclei of both atoms to effectively attract and hold the shared electron(s) in place; hence, the need for high ionization energies & high electron affinities for a more effective covalent bonding.
The question is asking to state the element would most likely have chemical properties similar to that of fluorine and base on my research and further investigation, I would say that it would be Bromine. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have questions and further clarifications
Answer : The rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.
Solution :
According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.
or,
..........(1)
where,
= rate of effusion of nitrogen gas = 
= rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas = ?
= molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mole
= molar mass of sulfur dioxide gas = 64 g/mole
Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:
Therefore, the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.
Answer:
Choice A: approximately 
.
Explanation:
Note that the unit of concentration, 
, typically refers to moles per liter (that is: 
.)
On the other hand, the volume of the two solutions in this question are apparently given in 
, which is the same as 
(that is: 
.) Convert the unit of volume to liters:
.
.
Calculate the number of moles of 
formula units in that 
of the 
solution:
.
Note that (sulfuric acid) is a diprotic acid. When one mole of completely dissolves in water, two moles of 
ions will be released.
On the other hand, 
(sodium hydroxide) is a monoprotic base. When one mole of formula units completely dissolve in water, only one mole of 
ions will be released.
ions and ions neutralize each other at a one-to-one ratio. Therefore, when one mole of the diprotic acid dissolves in water completely, it will take two moles of to neutralize that two moles of produced. On the other hand, two moles formula units of the monoprotic base will be required to produce that two moles of . Therefore, and formula units would neutralize each other at a two-to-one ratio.

.
Previous calculations show that 
of was produced. Calculate the number of moles of formula units required to neutralize that
.
Calculate the concentration of a 
solution that contains exactly 
of formula units:
.
