Covalent bonds are formed when 2 neutral atoms come together to share a pair of electrons, where each atom contributes one electron each to be shared.
The covalent bond is kept together by the electrostatic attraction between the nuclei of the atoms and the shared pair of electrons.
Covalent bonds are usually formed between non metals with a small difference in their electro negativity.
the correct answer is
A. Neutral atoms coming together to share electrons
Answer: It loses electrons to another element.
Explanation:- Oxidation is the process in which an element loses electrons and there is an increase in the oxidation state. On losing electrons it combines with a electronegative element such as oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen etc.
Reduction is the process in which an element gains electrons and there is a decrease in the oxidation state.
Explanation:
Magnesium has atomic number 12. It will be distributed in K, L, M shell in the following way:
K shell can accommodate a maximum of 2 electrons.
L shell can accommodate a maximum of 8 electrons and
M shell will accommodate 2 electrons
So the configuration becomes 2, 8,3
Answer:
See explaination
Explanation:
Going by the clues that it is between Silver Flouride (AgF) and Sodium Fluoride (NaF) and since it is an aqueous solution , the 1 liter bottle is likely to be Sodium Chloride( NaCl). Going by the reaction,
AgF + NaCl= AgCl + NaF
Here, the color of AgCl is white, hence the solution cannot be AgCl.
Determination of NaCl
Determination of NaCl can be done by Mohr's Method or Volhard's method. But results in Volhard's method are more accurate . Its uses the method of back titration with Potassium Thiocynate which forms a AgCl precipitate . Prior to titration,excess AgNO3 ( The problem also has a clue that excess reagents are present in the lab ) is added to the NaCl solution so that all the Cl- ions react with Ag+. Fe3+ is then added as an indicator and the solution is titrated with KSCN to form a silver thiocyannite precipitate (AgSCN). Once all the silver has reacted, a slight excess of SCN- reacts with Fe3+ to form Fe(SCN)3 dark red complex. The concentration of Cl- is determined by subtracting the titer findings of Ag+ ions that reacted to form AgSCN from the Ag NO3 moles added to the solution. This is used because pH of the solution is acidic. If the pH of solution is basic, Mohr's method is used.
Reactions
Ag+ (aq)+ Cl-(aq) = AgCl(aq)
Ag+(aq) + SCN-(aq) = AgSCN(aq)
Fe3+(aq) + SCN-(aq) = [FeSCN]2- (aq)
