Question

covalent bonds involve the... * 5 points
single electron
shared electrons
single electron
transfer of electrons
sharing of protons
sharing of electrons
loss of neutrons
what is the formula for potassium bromide * 5 points
kbr
kbr3
kbro3
kbro4

Explanation:

1. Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms. Protons are in the nucleus and not involved in covalent - bond formation. Electron transfer is characteristic of ionic bonds, and loss of neutrons is not related to covalent - bond formation.
2. Potassium (K) has a + 1 charge as it is in Group 1 of the periodic table, and bromide (Br) has a - 1 charge as it is in Group 17. To form a neutral compound, the formula is KBr.

Answer:

1. C. Sharing of electrons
2. A. KBr
