QuestionIdentify the covalent compound from these options: Cu2O\mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{O}, PbO2\mathrm{PbO}_{2}, C2H4\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}, MnO2\mathrm{MnO}_{2}.

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, Cu\mathrm{Cu}_{} \mathrm{}, b\mathrm{b}_{}, CH4\mathrm{C}_{} \mathrm{H}_{4}, Mn\mathrm{Mn}_{}.

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

Cu2\mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{} 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

b2\mathrm{b}_{2} 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

C2H4\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4} is a compound of Carbon (C) and Hydrogen (H). Both Carbon and Hydrogen are nonmetals, so this compound is covalent.

STEP 6

Mn2\mathrm{Mn}_{2} 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 C2H4\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}.
