Answer:

4 covalent bonds

Explanation:

Each carbon atom can form as many as four covalent bonds with other carbon atoms as well as with other elements. Be able to explain why this is so. Be able to list the four main groups of organic molecules and their functions in living things.

Explain the difference between a physical property and chemical property. Give examples of each.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

A physical property is what a substance is like; it's directly observable. On the other hand, a chemical property is how a substance behaves; its reactivity.

Examples of a physical property are: color, texture, boiling point, freezing point, and melting point.

Examples of a chemical property are: flammability, combustion, and formation of a precipitate.

Enthalpies of reaction calculated from bond energies and from enthalpies of formation are often, but not always, close to each o

jolli1 [7]

The enthalpy change in a reaction is given by-

ΔH°rxn = ∑nΔH°f,products - ∑nΔH°f,reactants

This can be expressed in terms of bond energy as-

ΔH°rxn = BEreactants - BEproducts

Therefore, the calculated bond energy according to the above equation will be-

ΔH°rxn = [ (C-C) + 2(C-O) + 4(C-H) + 2(O-H) ] - [ (C-C) + 2(C-O) + 4(C-H) + 2(O-H) = 0 kJ/mol

<h3>What is enthalpy change?</h3>

Enthalpy change is a measure of the energy emitted or consumed in a reaction. This can be determined using the following equation which involves standard enthalpy of reactant and product formation:

ΔH°rxn = ∑nΔH°f,products - ∑nΔH°f,reactants

<h3>What is bond energy?</h3>

Bond energy is defined as the amount of energy needed to dissociate a mole of molecules into their individual atoms.

Why our body is not crushed due to atmostsparic pressure

kirill [66]

Fluid and air flows around you and tries to crush you in but Fortunately, there is typically just as much pressure inside your body pressing outward as there is air pressure outside your body pushing inward. They typically cancel out, meaning that there is no overall force on you and you don't get crushed.
