Answer: C) Non-metals can share pairs of electrons and form covalent bonds
Explanation: The principal reason why it is non-metals that can form covalent bonds is because of their electronegativities. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.
The participating atoms in a covalent bond have to be able to hold the shared electron in place & it is this attraction towards the centre of each participating atom that holds the electrons in place. Metals aren't electronegative, they don't attract electrons towards each other, they'd rather even push the electrons away from themselves (electropositive) to be stable. The closest concept of metals to shared electrons is in metallic bonding, where metals push and donate their valence electrons to an electron cloud which is free to move around the bulk of the metallic structure. But this is nowhere near the type of bonding that exist in covalent bonds.
The surface metabolism model evokes mineral
catalysts. Surface metabolism model dissolved gases in contact with
minerals lining the walls of the deep-sea hydrothermal vents and formed more
complex, organic molecules while Prebiotic soup model is molecules in
atmosphere or from meteorites condensed in the ocean which led to the formation
of more complex molecules.
Answer:
A nonpolar molecule has no separation of charge
Explanation:
The rate of the backward reaction increases
Explanation:
It is evident that if the reaction is left to proceed spontaneously, the forward reaction is favored because it results in a decrease in pressure in the system (The total reactants have 5 moles and the products have 3 in total).
Increasing H₂O concentration is then reaction, therefore, stymies the forward reaction and favors the reserves reaction. This is because the reverse reaction will lead to reduced pressure.
