Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that when sharing of electrons take place between two combining atoms then the bond formed is known as a covalent bond. In general, a covalent bond is formed between two non-metal atoms.
For example, the compound HCl has a covalent bond between the hydrogen and chlorine atom. As hydrogen atom has 1 valence electron and chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons.
So, in order to attain stability both these atoms will share their valence electrons and hence, a covalent bond is formed.
On the other hand, when an electron is transferred from one atom to another then it tends to form an ionic bond.
For example, the compound NaCl has an ionic bond.
Thus, we can conclude that when atomic orbitals of two nuclei overlap, the mutual attraction between a negatively charged electron pair and the two positively charged nuclei forms a covalent bond.
Genetic variation is important because it allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population
The mass of 1.72 mol of magnesium fluoride is 107 grams.
To determine the mass of 1.72 mol of magnesium fluoride, we first need the chemical formula of magnesium fluoride. Magnesium forms a +2 ion (Mg+2) and fluoride forms a -1 ion (F-1). Since all compounds formed from ions have to be electrically neutral, we need 2 fluoride ions and 1 magnesium ion. Therefore, the formula for magnesium fluoride is MgF2.
Now we need to determine the molar mass of the compound from the molar mass values from the periodic table. Let's use a table to calculate this molar mass.
Molar mass of MgF2
Element Molar Mass (g/mol) Quantity Total (g/mol)
Mg 24.31 1 24.31
F 19.00 2 38.00
Total molar mass of MgF2 = 24.31 g/mol + 38.00 g/mol = 62.31 g/mol
This is the mass of one mole of the substance. If we have 1.72 mols of it, we multiply 1.72 by 62.31.
1.72 mol (62.31 g/mol) = 107 grams
We rounded to 107 to keep the correct number of significant digits in our answer.
The answer to this question would be true.
