Answer:
C) CH4 (g) + O2 (g)→ CO2 (g) + H2O (g)
Explanation:
Methane burns in the presence of air to give carbondioxide and water.
Also, All Alkanes combust in the presence of Oxygen to give carbondioxide and water.
A cation is a positive charged ion and a anion is a negatively charged ion. An electron will make a cation if it is lost and a anion if it is gained.
The etymology of the prefix cat- means the way down: so think of the sun setting down and losing light. Cat = losing electrons (Such as in a CAThode ray).
The etymology of the prefix -an means upwards. So think of the sun rising up and becoming brighter. An = gaining electrons and becoming overall more negative as electrons are negatively charged.
CO₂ does not have dipole-dipole forces as its strongest force.
Draw the 3D structures of each molecule. All have C-O, C-Br, or C-Cl <em>bond dipoles</em>.
In CO₂ the C-O bond dipoles point in opposite directions, so they cancel.
CO₂ has <em>no molecular dipole</em>. Its strongest intermolecular forces are <em>London dispersion forces</em>.
In all the other molecules, the C-Br, C-Cl, and C-O bond dipoles do not cancel. These molecules all have intermolecular dipole-dipole forces.
The two resonating structures of Nitrous Acid are shown below. Lone pair of electrons, single and multiple bonds and non zero formal charges (red color) are also specified.
Among these two structures the structure on the left lacking formal charge is the most stable form. The instability of second resonating structure is due to the fact that it contains two formal charges (the lesser the number of formal charges the greater is the stability). Secondly in this structure one oxygen atom is having +1 formal charge. Oxygen being more electronegative feel hostile towards positive formal charge.
