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:
The molecular formula is C12H18O3
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
The empirical formula is C4H6O
Molecular weight is 212 g/mol
atomic mass of C = 12 g/mol
atomic mass of H = 1 g/mol
atomic mass of O = 16 g/mol
Step 2: Calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula
Molar mass = 4* 12 + 6*1 +16
Molar mass = 70 g/mol
Step 3: Calculate the molecular formula
We have to multiply the empirical formula by n
n = the molecular weight of the empirical formula / the molecular weight of the molecular formula
n = 70 /212 ≈ 3
We have to multiply the empirical formula by 3
3*(C4H6O- = C12H18O3
The molecular formula is C12H18O3
I think it would be Kriptonite
