Which element combination(s) would result in electrons being shared?
[] sodium (na) and oxygen (o)
[] carbon (c) and fluorine (f)
[] oxygen (o) and hydrogen (h)
[] aluminum (al) and chlorine (cl)

Explanation:

Atoms that share electrons with each other tend to form a covalent bond. Whereas atoms that show transfer of electrons from one atom to another tend to form an ionic bond.

Sodium has atomic number 11 and oxygen has atomic number 8. In order to become stabilized, sodium needs to lose one electron whereas oxygen needs to gain two electrons. So, two sodium atoms will combine with one atom of oxygen. This will form an ionic bond between sodium and oxygen atom.

Carbon has atomic number 4 and fluorine has atomic number 9. Therefore, both of them will share electrons in order to become stabilized. Thus, they will form a covalent bond.

Oxygen atom has atomic number 8 and hydrogen has atomic number 1. Therefore, both of them will share electrons but due to difference in electronegativity of both hydrogen and oxygen they will result in the formation of a polar covalent bond.

Aluminium has atomic number 13 and chlorine has atomic number 17. So, aluminium will donate or transfer its valence electron to chlorine atom. Therefore, it will also form an ionic bond.

Thus, we can conclude that carbon (C) and fluorine (F) and oxygen (O) and hydrogen (H) are the combination(s) that would result in sharing of electrons.

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.

e

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of c is as shown here in the image.
