What characteristic best describes the low entropy associated with solids? O A. The atoms are held together with strong bonds.
O B. The atoms are arranged in a rigid structure.
C. The solid has a high specific heat capacity
D. The atoms in a solid are mostly metals.

B. The atoms are arranged in a rigid structure.

Explanation:

Because the entropy of solids depends on the structure of the atoms, a rigid structure has less randomness = less entropy. So, the answer is B.

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
