Based on its location in the periodic table, what can most likely be predicted about sulfur?
a. it has four valence electrons available for bonding.
b. it has four nonbonding electrons.
c. it has six valence electrons available for bonding.
d. it has six nonbonding electrons.

This is a characteristic of the elements in the periodic table that shows a pattern. it may increase or decrease across or down the table.

What is the molar mass of ca(cio4)2

Covalent bonds generally form when the bonded elements have a difference in electronegativity less than 1.5. subtract the electronegativities for the following pairs of elements and predict whether they form a covalent bond. electronegativity difference of c and c: ionic covalent electronegativity difference of mg and cl: ionic covalent
