Answer:

Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. ... Atoms form covalent bonds in order to reach a more stable state. A given nonmetal atom can form a single, double, or triple bond with another nonmetal.

An atom has a mass number of 30 and 16 neutrons. What is the atomic number of this atom?
Lana71 [14]
The mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Since there are 16 neutrons, there are 14 protons. This also corresponds to the atomic number, so this atom's atomic number is 14 which is also Silicon

As the [H+] in a solution decreases, what happens to the [OH–]? A. It increases and the pH increases. B. It increases and the pH
AleksAgata [21]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. It decreases and the pH increases.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • pH is a measure of the hydorgen ion concentration of a solution. Solutions with a high concentration of hydrogen ions have a low pH and solutions with a low concentrations of H+ ions have a high pH.
  • <em><u>[H+] and [OH-] are inversely related. Therefore; As the concentration of H+ increases the pH decreases. Since the concentrations of H+ and OH- are inversely proportional, as one goes up, the other goes down. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, an increase in OH- concentration will correspond to an increase in pH and a decrease in the concentration of H+.</u></em>
