QuestionIdentify the covalent compound from these options: , , , .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We need to identify a covalent compound from the given options.
. Covalent compounds are formed when two nonmetals combine, or when a metalloid and a nonmetal combine.
3. The given options are None of these, , , , .
STEP 2
We need to identify the type of bonding in each compound. Covalent bonding occurs when electrons are shared between atoms. This typically happens between nonmetals.
STEP 3
is a compound of Copper (Cu) and Oxygen (). Copper is a metal and Oxygen is a nonmetal, so this compound isionic, not covalent.
STEP 4
is a compound of Lead (b) and Oxygen (). Lead is a metal and Oxygen is a nonmetal, so this compound isionic, not covalent.
STEP 5
is a compound of Carbon (C) and Hydrogen (H). Both Carbon and Hydrogen are nonmetals, so this compound is covalent.
STEP 6
is a compound of Manganese (Mn) and Oxygen (). Manganese is a metal and Oxygen is a nonmetal, so this compound isionic, not covalent.
The covalent compound from the given options is .
