Why do atoms share electrons in covalent bonds?

A. to attain a noble-gas electron configuration

B. to become more polar

C. to become ions and attract each other

D. to increase their atomic numbers​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer Option A) To attain a noble-gas electron configuration.

Explanation:

Correct answer from test

Answer 2

Taking into account the definition of covalent bond and octet rule, the correct answer is option A.  Atoms share electrons in covalent bonds to achieve a noble gas electron configuration.

The covalent bond is the chemical bond that occurs between atoms of non-metallic elements. These atoms have many electrons at their outermost level and have a tendency to share them to acquire the stability of the noble gas electronic structure. In this way a molecule is formed.

The tendency of the elements to reach a stable configuration is known as the octet rule. For this, the octet rule explains that there must be eight electrons in their last energy levels, thus acquiring the structure of a noble gas.

So, a covalent bond is a force that joins two atoms of non-metallic elements to form a molecule in order to comply with the octet rule.

Finally, the correct answer is option A.  Atoms share electrons in covalent bonds to achieve a noble gas electron configuration.

Derive names for common types of inorganic compounds using a systematic approach

Nomenclature, a collection of rules for naming things, is important in science and in many other situations. This module describes an approach that is used to name simple ionic and molecular compounds, such as NaCl, CaCO3, and N2O4. The simplest of these are binary compounds, those containing only two elements, but we will also consider how to name ionic compounds containing polyatomic ions, and one specific, very important class of compounds known as acids (subsequent chapters in this text will focus on these compounds in great detail). We will limit our attention here to inorganic compounds, compounds that are composed principally of elements other than carbon, and will follow the nomenclature guidelines proposed by IUPAC. The rules for organic compounds, in which carbon is the principle element, will be treated in a later chapter on organic chemistry.

Ionic Compounds

To name an inorganic compound, we need to consider the answers to several questions. First, is the compound ionic or molecular? If the compound is ionic, does the metal form ions of only one type (fixed charge) or more than one type (variable charge)? Are the ions monatomic or polyatomic? If the compound is molecular, does it contain hydrogen? If so, does it also contain oxygen? From the answers we derive, we place the compound in an appropriate category and then name it accordingly.

Compounds Containing Only Monatomic Ions

The name of a binary compound containing monatomic ions consists of the name of the cation (the name of the metal) followed by the name of the anion (the name of the nonmetallic element with its ending replaced by the suffix –ide). Some examples are given in Table  3.5.2 .

Table  3.5.1 : Names of Some Ionic Compounds

NaCl, sodium chloride Na2O, sodium oxide

KBr, potassium bromide CdS, cadmium sulfide

CaI2, calcium iodide Mg3N2, magnesium nitride

CsF, cesium fluoride Ca3P2, calcium phosphide

LiCl, lithium chloride Al4C3, aluminum carbide

Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions

Compounds containing polyatomic ions are named similarly to those containing only monatomic ions, except there is no need to change to an –ide ending, since the suffix is already present in the name of the anion. Examples are shown in Table  3.5.2 .

Table  3.5.2 : Names of Some Polyatomic Ionic Compounds

KC2H3O2, potassium acetate (NH4)Cl, ammonium chloride

NaHCO3, sodium bicarbonate CaSO4, calcium sulfate

Al2(CO3)3, aluminum carbonate Mg3(PO4)2, magnesium phosphate

Transition Metal Ionic Compound Name

FeCl3 iron(III) chloride

Naming Ionic Compounds

Name the following ionic compounds, which contain a metal that can have more than one ionic charge:

Fe2S3

CuSe

GaN

CrCl3

Ti2(SO4)3

Solution

The anions in these compounds have a fixed negative charge (S2−, Se2− , N3−, Cl−, and  SO2−4 ), and the compounds must be neutral. Because the total number of positive charges in each compound must equal the total number of negative charges, the positive ions must be Fe3+, Cu2+, Ga3+, Cr4+, and Ti3+. These charges are used in the names of the metal ions:

iron(III) sulfide

copper(II) selenide

gallium(III) nitride

chromium(III) chloride

titanium(III) sulfate

Exercise  3.5.1  

Write the formulas of the following ionic compounds:

(a) chromium(III) phosphide

(b) mercury(II) sulfide

(c) manganese(II) phosphate

(d) copper(I) oxide

(e) chromium(VI) fluoride

Answer

(a) CrP; (b) HgS; (c) Mn3(PO4)2; (d) Cu2O; (e) CrF6

A student observes that instant tea dissolves more rapidly in a cup of 250 mL of stirred hot water than in a cup of 250 mL of stirred cold water. Which is the most relevant hypothesis that the student could develop based on this observation?

A.
Volume affects the rate that instant tea dissolves in a solvent.
B.
Temperature affects the rate that instant tea dissolves in water.
C.
Stirring affects the rate that instant tea dissolves in water.
D.
Pressure affects the rate that instant tea dissolves in water.

Please answer my question!

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

In this question, there is no mention of pressure, so we can eliminate answer D. In both cups, it mentions they contain 250 mL of water and both are stirred, so these would be constants. The only difference between the cups is temperature, so temperature must affect the rate that instant tea dissolves in water. Therefore the answer is B.

student measures the volume of the copper as 6 cm. Which additional property of the copper can the student determine from these
measurements?

Answers

Answer:

From these two values, i.e. mass and volume, density of the copper cylinder can be calculated.

Formula of density is :

Density = Mass / volume.

Now we have mass: 53.76g and volume 6cm³

Density = 53.76 / 6

Density= 8.96 g/cm³

Which statement desrcribes an intensive property of matter? -it is the same for every sample of a single substance -it depends on how a substance was formed -it is the same for every sample of every substances -it depends on the amount of substances present

Answers

Answer:

The statement which describes an intensive property of matter is - :

it is the same for every sample of a single substance.

Explanation:

It is the same for every sample of a single substance. -:  Since a substance 's intense property does not depend on either mass or volume, it is the same for each sample of a single substance. Hence , this statement is correct .It depends on how a substance was formed -: Intensive property do not depend upon the amount of the substance or the formation of the sample . Therefore this statement ifs wrong about intensive property .It is the same for every sample of every substances -: This is not possible to be  for every sample of the substance , a every substance have different qualities. Hence this statement is also incorrect.it depends on the amount of substances present -:  This  is the characteristic of a extensive property of matter that relies on the amount  of the material/substance. This assertion is, therefore, not valid.

Hence , the correct option is A (it is the same for every sample of a single substance).

A metal object has a density of 2 g/ml. When placed in a graduated cylinder with 500 ml of water, the
water rises to 508 ml. What is the mass of the metal object?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 16 g

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

mass = Density × volume

From the question

density = 2 g/ml

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 508 - 500 = 8 mL

We have

mass = 2 × 8

We have the final answer as

16 g
