Compare the potential energy of two atoms chemically bonded to their potential energy when separated.

Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The essence of chemical bonding is in order to attain minimum energy. The minimum energy state is the most stable state of a chemical system.

As the distance of separation between atoms decreases, the potential energy of the system decreases accordingly.

An optimum distance is reached when the two atoms attain the lowest potential energy. This is designated as the bond distance of the two atoms.

Hence two atoms have lower potential energy when bonded than when separated at large distance.

A covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally is
tekilochka [14]
Covalent bonds = sharing of electrons between two atoms of the same elements or elements close to each other on the periodic table. Usually they are metals sometimes non-metals. In polar bonds electrons are shared unequally. Non polar bonds share electrons equally.

Do ionic compounds or covalent compounds conduct electricity
Liula [17]

None because Covalent compounds don’t conduct electricity because they are formed between the non metal atoms by sharing of electrons. The Covalent compounds haves no free electrons and also no ions and hence they do not conduct electricity. That is why they do not conduct electricity.

Which of the four cars had the least net force applied to it when it was launched down the ramp
castortr0y [4]

The least net force applied : Car 3(12 N)

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Newton's 2nd law explains that the acceleration produced by the resultant force on an object is proportional and in line with the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object  

∑F = m. a  

Car 1 ⇒m=0.5 kg, a=36 m/s²

\tt \sum F=0.5\times 36=18~N

Car 2⇒m=0.8 kg, a=50 m/s²

\tt \sum F=0.8\times 50=40~N

Car 3⇒m=0.6, a=20 m/s²

\tt \sum F=0.6\times 20=12~N

Car 4⇒m=1, a=19~m/s²

\tt \sum=1\times 19=19~N
