Question

level 5
what term is used to describe the sharing of electrons between atoms?
a. chemical bond
b. distillation
c. radiation
d. current
●electron from hydrogen
●electron from carbon

Explanation:

• Chemical bond: A chemical bond is the force that holds atoms together. Covalent bonds (a type of chemical bond) involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, as shown in the diagram (e.g., in a methane molecule \(CH_4\) where carbon and hydrogen share electrons).
• Distillation: Distillation is a separation technique used in chemistry to separate mixtures based on differences in boiling points. It has nothing to do with electron - sharing between atoms.
• Radiation: Radiation refers to the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles (e.g., electromagnetic radiation like light, or particle radiation like alpha and beta particles). It is not related to electron - sharing in atoms.
• Current: Current, in an electrical context, is the flow of electric charge (usually electrons in a conductor). It is not about the sharing of electrons between atoms in a chemical sense.

Answer:

A. Chemical bond
