Oxygen is participating in non-polar covalent bond(s)

Oxygen forms 2 covalent bond.

This is because oxygen atoms have 6 valence electrons. This means that it has 2 lone pairs and 2 unpaired electrons that are shared in order to achieve octet configuration.

In this chemistry, the 2 lone pairs on the oxygen are not shared with any other atoms. Instead; they are assigned to the oxygen atom. The formal charge on the oxygen atom is zero. Oxygen's atomic number is 8 and is equal to the sum of the number of its valence and inner shell electrons.

<h3>What is non-polar covalent bonding?</h3>

Nonpolar covalent bonding is a kind of covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally between the two atoms.

Caleb has a 860-kilogram car sitting in his back yard, gathering rust.
emmasim [6.3K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

A. 860 kg

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To answer the question we need to understand that;

  • Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object.
  • Weight, on the other hand, refers to the gravitational pull of an object to a given surface.
  • Mass is measured using a spring balance.

We also need to know that;

  • The mass of an object remains constant every where irrespective of the gravitational acceleration.
  • Therefore, an object on the surface of the earth would have the same mass as on the surface of the moon.
  • In this case; the mass of the car remains the same on the outer space as on the back yard.

the diagram below shows DNA molecules. What do the broken lines connected to hydrogen atoms represent in this diagram?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer is: hydrogen bonds.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

According to the principle of base pairing hydrogen bonds could form between adenine and thymine (two hydrogen bonds between this nucleobases) and guanine and cytosine (three hydrogen bonds between this nucleobases).

Adenine and guanine are purine derivatives and thymine and cytosine are pyrimidine derivates.
