An atom of carbon (C) forms covalent bonds with two atoms of oxygen (O) to form carbon dioxide. How are the valence electrons of these atoms rearranged to form the bonds?A. Electrons are transferred from the carbon atom to the oxygen atoms.
B. Electrons are transferred from the oxygen atoms to the carbon atoms.
C. Many valence electrons are shared between the atoms.
D. A few valence electrons are shared between the atoms

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer : The correct option is C.

Explanation :

Covalent bond : Covalent bond forms when two non-metal atom share a pair of electrons.

In the covalent bond formation of carbon dioxide, carbon and oxygen atom share four pair of electrons. The carbon atom joined by four covalent bonds to two oxygen atoms.

The valence electrons in carbon atom = 4

The valence electrons in two oxygen atom = 2(6) = 12

Therefore, these atoms are rearranged to form the bonds by the sharing of many valence electrons between the atoms.

The lewis-dot structure of carbon dioxide is shown below.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

Person above me got it correct

Explanation:

The answer is C Many valence electrons are shared between the atoms

Just confirming :)

Mt. Everest is 29,028 feet high. How many miles is this?

Answers

mount. everest is 5.499 miles

1 mile = 5280 foot

Thus, miles = 29028/ 5280
= 5.49 miles. (approx)

Thus, mount everest is 5.49 miles high.

A _______ is a repeating disturbance or vibration that transfers or moves energy from place to place without transporting mass.force
wave
vacuum
medium
PLZ help me!

Answers

Answer: wave

Explanation:

These are the basic definitions and characteristic of the terms given, which show tha the only rigth answer is the second option: wave.

1) Force is an interaction. There are four natural forces: electrostatic, gravity, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

2) Wave: is a sequence of pulses or vibrations that cause the continuous transportation of energy (propagation). There is not transport of mass, only energy.

Some examples of waves are sound waves, electromagnetic waves (light, radio waves, micro waves, infrarred waves, ultraviolet waves).

3) Vacuum: is the absence of matter; empty space. Only electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum; other waves need a medium to travel.

4) Medium: any matter is a medium: a solid, the air, a liquid, all of them are media through which waves can transport its energy, depending of the wavelength.

A wave, waves transport energy rather than matter from one area to another.
An example of this is conduction of thermal energy, for instance when you heat up a saucepan the metal areas of the pan not touching the heat source still heat up due to waves of thermal energy (conduction)

The relationship between a cathode and an anode involvesA. protons.
B. diodes.
C. electrons.
D. neutrons.

Answers

Cathode andanode always go together in electrochemical reactions. An example of this isthe lead battery. The lead battery contains a chemical that is involved in thechemical reaction. The chemical reaction in the battery causes a buildup ofelectrons in the anode. And because the electron buildup in the anode is full,its only place to go is the cathode. The movement of the electrons from anodeto cathode is caused by the chemical reaction present in the battery. There willbe a movement until the chemical runs out. If the chemical runs out, theelectrons stop moving. The answer is c.

1)why do we get electric shock while holding a live wire barefooted and not when wearing rubber shoes?

Answers

Electricity is always going to take the path of least resistance to ground. The rubber in your shoes is not a conductor of electricity, therefore you are not completing the circuit and you don't get shocked. Your bare feet, on the other hand ARE conductors of electricity, so when you hold the wire, you complete the circuit and become the path of least resistance to ground... ZAP!
