What types of atoms typically form covalent bonds?
The correct answer:
d) Nonmetals with nonmetals, because their difference in electronegativity is below 1.7.
En example to explain:
An example of a covalent bonding: HCl -> 2 nonmentals
-> a difference in electronegativity less than 1.7:
EN(Cl) = 3.0 and EN (H) = 2.1 (you can search these values in a periodic table)
/\EN = 3.0 - 2.1 = 0.9
0.9 < 1.7
I hope this helped you out!
Well if you go to Quiz-let it gives the answer the mass of a mole of compound is determined by adding the atomic masses of the atoms making up the molecules
C.
This is basically the definition of percent composition which is how much mass a element contributes to a specific molecule.
