The compounds that have covalent bonding as their dominant bonding scheme are diamond and silica.

A covalent bond is formed between two nonmetals. Usually, when two nonmetals combine, electrons are shared between the two atoms involved in the bond.

Now, the solids diamond and silica are predominantly covalent solids. The atoms that combine in diamond are carbon atoms(nonmetals) while the atoms that combine in silica are silicon and oxygen (nonmetals also)

Hence, diamond and silica both have covalent bonding as their dominant bonding scheme.

What is the difference between acidic and basic solutions in working with

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The answer is D. The O and H atoms are balanced differently.

Explanation:

So the only difference between reactions in basic and acidic conditions is that balancing reactions in a base, you would first balance it like how you would in an acid, but since you're in a basic solution now, you would add enough OH- to both sides of the equation to neutralize the H+.

I hope this helps!

In-s [12.5K]

Answer : The temperature in kelvins is, $T>1108.695K$

Explanation : Given,

$\Delta H$ = 178.5 KJ/mole = 178500 J/mole

$\Delta S$ = 161.0 J/mole.K

Gibbs–Helmholtz equation is :

$\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S$

As per question the reaction is spontaneous that means the value of $\Delta G$ is negative or we can say that the value of $\Delta G$ is less than zero.
