Hey, since there are multiple sub-part questions posted, we will answer first three questions. If…

ii. Answer true or false. (a) A covalent bond is formed between two atoms whose difference in electronegativity is less than 1.9. (b) If the difference in electronegativity between two atoms is zero (they have identical electronegativities), then the two atoms will not form a covalent bond. (c) A covalent bond formed by sharing two electrons is called a double bond.
