How many valence positions does oxygen have for bonding?
Oxygen has 2 valence positions for bonding, allowing it to form up to 2 covalent bonds.
Why is water liquid at room temp but oxygen is gas at room temp?
Water molecules have stronger intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding) that keep them together as a liquid at room temperature. Oxygen molecules have weaker intermolecular forces, so they stay as a gas at room temperature.
What sort of bonding is involved in ammonia gas?
covalent bonding between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms
How can you tell an ionic bond is formed between magnesium and oxygen?
it is ionic bonding because magnesium is a metal and oxygen is not. ionic bonding occurs between a metal and non-metal
How do you write the formulae for hydrogen gas oxygen gas?
Hydrogen gas is H2. Oxygen gas is O2.
What is created by the bonding of two or more atoms of same kind?
A diatomic molecule for example oxygen gas (O2)
Is oxygen stable before bonding?
Oxygen is a stable gas in its elemental form, as O2. It is a diatomic molecule that is highly stable because of the strong covalent bonds between the two oxygen atoms.
How many non bonding pairs does oxygen have?
Oxygen has two non-bonding pairs of electrons.
Why nitrogen in air does not react with hemoglobin as it is present in greater percentage then oxygen?
Nitrogen gas is nearly an inert gas. Hemoglobin is optimized for bonding with oxygen, but bonds even better to carbon monoxide (which makes carbon monoxide such an effective poison).
What type of bonding is expected between strontium and oxygen?
covalent bonding
What is covalent bonding like?
Covalent bonding is when 2 atoms, usually non-metals, bond together by sharing electrons with one another. For example, in oxygen gas, one oxygen atom will share 2 electrons with the other so that both atoms can achieve the octet structure.
Is oxygen hydrophilic?
Oxygen itself is not hydrophilic or hydrophobic, as it is a neutral gas. However, oxygen can interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding, making it soluble and capable of dissolving in water. This property is essential for supporting aquatic life.
How many valence positions does oxygen have for bonding?
Oxygen has 2 valence positions for bonding, allowing it to form up to 2 covalent bonds.
Why is water liquid at room temp but oxygen is gas at room temp?
Water molecules have stronger intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding) that keep them together as a liquid at room temperature. Oxygen molecules have weaker intermolecular forces, so they stay as a gas at room temperature.
Hydrogen bonding occurs in molecules where hydrogen is bonded to what elements fluorine carbon oxygen nitrogen hydrogen boron?
the hydrogen bonding is possible in oxygen, nitrogen,and fluorine
What type of bonding is likely to dominate in tellurium oxygen and lithium chloride?
"Tellurium oxygen" is not a proper chemical name. Lithium chloride has predominantly ionic bonding.
Can double bonded oxygen participate in hydrogen bonding?
No, double bonded oxygen cannot participate in hydrogen bonding because it does not have a hydrogen atom directly bonded to it.
