Answer and Explanation:
Two hydrogen atoms, each containing one electron, approach each other in the formation of a molecule of hydrogen. Each atom needs a total of two electrons to fill their outermost energy level and make them stable. The best choice is to share their single electrons. Hence, a pair of bonding electrons is shared between the hydrogen atoms in the molecules.
This constitutes a single covalent bond. Hence, the correct option is B)
Answer:
Oxygen and sulfur
Explanation:
Alloys consist of metals fused together sometimes with additional components, such as carbon, to prevent metals from corrosion.
Oxygen and sulfur are two compounds consisting of non-metal atoms, O and S. Combining oxygen with sulfur would actually produce sulfur dioxide, a gas, in contrast to a metallic substance that is fused with some other metal or carbon.
That's the reason why combination of sulfur and oxygen wouldn't produce an alloy: it would produce a gas.
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
In both cases the central atoms, C in CHCl₃ and O in H₂O, are sp³ hybridized .
Since they are sp³ hybridized we predict an angle between the H-C-Cl and H-O-H of 109.5 º ( tetrahedral ), but two of the sp³ orbitals in water are occupied by lone pairs.
These lone pairs do excercise more repulsion ( need more room ) than the bonds oxygen is making with hydrogen.
As a consequence of this repulsion the angles H-O-H are less than the predicted 109.5º in tetrahedra. ( Actually is 104.5 º)
