Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Oxygen has six electrons in its outermost shell. This means that its octet can be completed when it shares two electrons with another oxygen atom.

In a covalent bond, each bonding atom contributes one electron to the bond. This means that four electrons are shared between two oxygen atoms. Each atom contributes a total of two electrons which are shared. This molecule of oxygen satisfies the octet rule rather than a single atom of oxygen.

An image of the oxygen molecule is attached to this answer.

This system of two oxygen atoms joined together in a covalent bond is called an oxygen molecule(O2).

For each of the following choose the variable that will be more favorable in solution formation. A) Weak or Strong Solvent inter
Deffense [45]

Based on factors affecting solution formation;

  • Strong solvent-solute intermolecular forces favors solution formation.
  • Increase in entropy favours solution formation
  • Decrease in enthalpy favours solution formation

<h3>What is a solution?</h3>

A solution is a substance formed when a substance known as solute dissolves in another substance know as solvent.

Factors that affect solution formation include:

  • strength of intermolecular forces between solute and solvent
  • entropy
  • enthalpy

Strong solvent-solute intermolecular forces favors solution formation.

Increase in entropy favours solution formation

Decrease in enthalpy favours solution formation.
