Why small covalent substances have different properties from macro molecules? • Simple covalent substances will only contain a few atoms that are held by strong covalent bonds for example co2 the molecules contain one atom of carbon that is bonded with 2 oxygen atoms. The intermolecular forces causes the small covalent structures to have a low melting/boiling points, they don’t conduct electricity because they don’t have any free electrons or an electric charge overall. • Macro molecules will…
Ionic and Covalent bonds are the two different types of bonds that hold atoms together, each having their own characteristics. The distance and charge determines the type of bond the molecules have. These bonds occur because atoms strive to obtain the ideal valence of 8. Some atoms need to gain or lose electrons in order to achieve the ideal valence. In a covalent bond, the electrons are being pulled by two atoms that are both nonmetals. In other words, the two atoms are sharing electrons, but…
radicals are molecules that have at least one unpaired electron. They are typically very reactive, due to their odd number of electrons. These molecules tend to try and gain or lose electrons so their highest energy levels can be filled. They will bond with other compounds in the body, sometimes combining with them, or even taking parts of intact molecules, resulting in even more free radicals (Walling). Free radicals can be formed by natural body processes, such as metabolism. They can…
The atomic radius will slowly decrease as you move across a period on the periodic table; this is caused by the addition of protons found in the nuclei of the elements. For every new proton being added, several electrons will also be included into this process by joining the identical energy level (ultimately accounting for one electron per element in said period). The electrons then attract the protons, whilst failing to shield from or repulse this attraction. Given the above information, the…
occurs when atoms share pairs of electrons. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which are gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most valence electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability (Chem wiki) Nonmetals will readily form covalent bonds with other nonmetals in order to obtain stability, and can form anywhere between one to three covalent bonds with other nonmetals depending on how many valence…
healthy bond that forms between Laila and Mariam determines their end actions and decisions in order to save and protect each other from social injustice and the endless cycle of abuse. Laila and Mariam develop an unbreakable bond, which motivates them to abolish gender inequality. Mariam and Laila alternate roles from being a daughter to a mother for each other. Both characters show the willingness to put themselves first in a perilous situation. The method of forming healthy maternal bonds,…
There are three bonds in chemistry ionic, covalent, and hydrogen. Do not ask me why they named them this because I am unble to tell you this. However I can tell you that SCl2 is an ionic bond and NaCl is a covalent bond. Well, that is that the atoms in them form those types of bonds. Hard to belive I know, but true, true, true, true, very true. In addition to there being those three types of bonds the covalent bond type breaks down into two groups. Yes, more bonds to remember. The bonds are…
Weber State University Web-Camera System in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit NICview is a password-protected Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) webcam system mounted close to the premature infant, or patient, that allows remote viewing by parents and family members. (Hill, 2011) The system was designed to facilitate the bonding of parents with their infant by providing 24/7 access for remote locations. A NICU webcam program allows management of the camera by the NICU staff, meaning they have…
Polyatomic Ion. Polyatomic Ions are referred to as a radical, and less commonly, as a radical group. There are many differences between a polyatomic ion and a compound. Polyatomic ions are composed of two or more atoms that are linked to covalent bonds. Yet, they still have a net deficiency or surplus of electrons, resulting in an overall charge on the group. Polyatomic ions are created when a number of atoms come together to form a group. That group then has either a positive or a…
Bond, James Bond. The infamous phrase heard from the James Bond series. The James Bond series focuses on a fictional British Secret Service agent created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming; who featured him in twelve novels and two short-story collections. Ian Fleming once stated, “I don't regard James Bond precisely as a hero, but at least he does get on and do his duty, in an extremely corny way.” In the nearly 50 years since he first appeared on the big screen, James Bond’s character has evolved…
