Hello
We know both the elements involved in bonding are non-metals and the primary type of bonds involved in non-metals are covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share one or more electrons; thus we know that whatever the number of electrons shared, it has to be equal for both. We can eliminate choices A and B.
Next, we understand that it is easier for one atom to be shared among the two, rather than the 7. First, because Hydrogen needs only 1 electron to be stable and would require energy to compensate the remaining 6. Second, electrons are attracted towards the nucleus so it is inefficient to try and share 7 electrons when 1 provides the same amount of stability to Fluorine.
Therefore, the answer is C.
Atomic number = protons
Protons = P Electrons = E P = E
Atomic mass = Neutrons + Protons
Atomic number = atomic mass = neutrons
P = E
AM - AN = N
Example:
Calcium = 20 Protons 20P = 20E
Atomic mass - atomic number = neutrons :)
The number of Ml of a 0.40 %w/v solution of ,nalorphine that must be injected to obtain a dose of 1.5 mg is calculated as below
since M/v% is mass of solute in grams per 100 ml
convert Mg to g
1 g = 1000 mg what about 1.5 mg =? grams
= 1.5 /1000 = 0.0015 grams
volume is therefore = 100 ( mass/ M/v%)
= 100 x( 0.0015/ 0.4) = 0.375 ML
<u>Answer:</u> The main group metal produce a basic solution in water and the reaction is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
Main group elements are the elements that are present in s-block and p-block.
The metals that are the main group elements are located in Group IA, Group II A and Group III A.
Oxides are formed when a metal or a non-metal reacts with oxygen molecule. There are two types of oxides which are formed: Acidic oxides and basic oxides.
- Acidic oxides are formed by the non-metals.
- Basic oxides are formed by the metals.
When a metal oxide is reacted with water, it leads to the formation of a base.
The general formula of the oxide formed by Group II-A metals is 'MO'
The chemical equation for the reaction of metal oxide of Group II-A and water follows:

Hence, the main group metal produce a basic solution in water and the reaction is
