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.

The Michaelis‑Menten equation models the hyperbolic relationship between [S] and the initial reaction rate V 0 V0 for an enzyme‑
ipn [44]

Answer:

The Michaelis‑Menten equation is given as

v₀ = Kcat X [E₀] X [S] / (Km + [S])

where,

Kcat is the experimental rate constant of the reaction; [s] is the substrate concentration and

Km is the Michaelis‑Menten constant.

Explanation:

When an alpha particle is emitted from an unstable nucleus, the atomic mass numberof the nucleus
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Radioactive substances usually emit different types of particles when they are decaying. Such particles include alpha particles, beta particles and gamma ray. When an alpha particle is emitted from an unstable radioactive nucleus such nucleus usually lost an atomic mass that correspond to that of helium atom. Note that an alpha particle is made up of two protons and two neutrons, which result in mass number of 4. Thus, a nucleus that emit an alpha particle will have its mass number (atomic mass) reduce by 4 and atomic number that is reduced by 2.

A balloon filled with air has a volume of 4.24 liters at 23.00°
meriva

The  new volume  if the balloon is cooled at constant pressure  is  3.98 L


 <u><em>Explanation</em></u>

The new  volume is calculated using the Charles law formula

that is V1/ T1 = V2/T2  where,

V1 = 4.24 l

T1= 23c  into kelvin = 23  +273 =296 K

T2 = 5.00 c into kelvin = 5.00 + 273 = 278 K

V2 = ?


by making  V2 subject the subject of the formula  by multiplying both side by T2

V2 = V1 xT2/ T1

V2 =  (4.24 L   x 278 K)  / 296 k  =3.98 L

Using the following data table and graph, calculate the average k from the data. Amount CO2 (mL) Amount of White Solid (g) y x 1
UkoKoshka [18]
The k is the proportionality constant of the reaction. Graphically, this is the slope of the graph. Since the graph is linear, then there is only 1 value of k. To calculate this, choose two random points in the line. Suppose we use (0.15,10) and (0.30,20), calculate for the slope.

Slope = k = (10 - 20)/(0.15 - 0.30) = 66.67 mL CO₂/g CaCO₃
