How do covalent bonds form between atoms? why is it that diatomic molecules always form nonpolar covalent bonds?

In pea plants, the allele for tallness (t) is dominant to the allele for shortness (t). in the cross between a tall pea plant and a short pea plant shown below, what is the probability that the resulting offspring will be tall? whats the percent

The combustion of methane, ch4, releases 890.4kj/mol. that is, when one mole of methane is burned,890.4 kj are given off to the surroundings. this meansthat the products have 890.4 kj less than the reactants. thus, ah for the reaction = - 890.4 kj. a negative symbolforah indicates an exothermic reaction. ch (g) + 20 (g)> co2 (g) + 2 h0 (1); ah = - 890.4 kga) how much energy is given off when 2.00 mol of ch, are burned? b) how much energy is released when 22.4g of ch. areburned?

The allotropes of carbon include a variety of structures that include three-dimensional tetrahedral lattices, planes of hexagonal rings, cylindrical tubes of hexagonal rings, and spheres of five- and six-membered rings. similar shapes of network covalent atomic solids are possible with carbon nitride, boron, and pure silicon (e. g., silicene is a graphene-like allotrope of pure silicon). in contrast, silicates exist as either highly ordered or amorphous (more random) three-dimensional lattices. what could explain why there are there no naturally occurring sheets, stacked sheets, cylindrical tubes, or spheres of network covalent atomic solids composed of silicon and oxygen (sio2)? would pure silicate structures make good lubricants or good electrical conductors?
