Answer:

Explanation:

carbon in  group 4A needs 4 more electrons to be stable

hydrogen in group 1A has one electron needs 1 more t o be stale

oxygen in group 6A has 6 and needs 2 more to be stable

They all obtain this by sharing electrons  8 around C &O, 2 around H

H  : C:  H

       ::        

      :O:

Which explains how burning a magnesium ribbon highlights a toolmark?
Setler [38]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The magnesium ribbon, <u>D. It forms a material to cast the tool mark</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When a magnesium ribbon is burnt in the presence of oxygen it gives out strong light and heat is produced. Apart from it, it leads to the production of substance called as magnesium oxide which is formed as the product due to the reaction of magnesium with the oxygen present in the air.

Tool marks are the mark which is created by tools while using them. In order to identify or locate them castes made up of magnesium oxide is utilized. When this is pasted on the suspected area, the tool mark of the suspected tool gets pasted on it.

How does the type of chemical bonds present in a substance affect the substances properties?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Once a chemical bond is formed, the atoms are rearranged to form a stronger bond, affecting the hardness, malleability, etc. The stronger the bond, the easier a substance will break, or, if its a liquid, it will resist seperation.

PH3, explain why there is a partial positive on hydrogen and partial negative on phosphorus.
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Phosphorus is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons towards itself thereby making a molecule to be polar. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used to measure electronegativity. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0 on the Pauling's scale, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative elements.

Electronegativity increases from left to right across the periodic table (across the period) hence, phosphorus is far more electronegative than hydrogen. Being more electronegative than hydrogen, phosphorus attracts the bonding electron pair of the P-H bond closer to itself than hydrogen. Since the electrons of the bond are closer to phosphorus than hydrogen, the phosphorus atom acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.
