Answer:

There is one single covalent bond between two carbon atoms.

Explanation:

We know that sharing of electrons form covalent bonds.

If we look upon K,L,M ,N shells of the carbon and hydrogen atoms.

We found that Hydrogen is having only  1 electron in K shell.

And Carbon on the other hand is having 2 electrons in K shell and 4 electrons in L shell.

So carbon have  4 valence electrons,and it can share 4 bonds with any relevant atom to complete its octet.

And Hydrogen requires  1 electron to complete its doublet.

Alkane general formula C_{n}H_{2n+2}

For ethane n=2

C_{2}H_{4+2} = C_{2}H_{6}

1 Carbon atom is shared by  3 Hydrogen.

The remaining one electron (4-3)=1 of carbon will be shared with another carbon atom.

An image of the sharing of electrons attached below,

Hence we have only  1 covalent bond between the two.

How much energy (in Joules) is required to convert 129 grams of ice at −23.0 °C to liquid water at 18.0 °C?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The energy that is required for the process is:

6230.7 J + 42957 J + 9715.2 J = <u>58902.9 joules</u>

Explanation:

This is a calorimetry problem:

Q = m . C . ΔT

Q = heat; m = mas; C is the specific heat and

ΔT = Final T° - Initial T°

Q = C lat . m

Q = Heat

m = mass

C lar = Latent heat of fusion

First of all we calculate the heat for ice, before it takes the melting point. (from -23°C  to 0°C)

Q = 129 g . 2.10 J/g°C . (0°C - (-23°C)

Q = 129 g . 2.10 J/g°C . 23°C → 6230.7 joules

Then, the ice has melted. To be melted and change the state it required:

Q = C lat . m

Q = 333 J/°C . 129 g → 42957 joules

And in the end, we have water that changed its T° from O°C to 18°C

Q = 129 g . 4.184 J/g °C . (18°C - 0°C)

Q = 9715.2 Joules

The energy that is required for the process is:

6230.7 J + 42957 J + 9715.2 J = 58902.9 joules

Which of the following correctly describes the difference (on average) between an electron in a 2s orbital and an electron in a
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

C: electrons is the 3s orbital are higher than those in the 2s orbital

Explanation:

Looking at the options, the correct one is that the electrons in the 3s orbital will possess more energy than those in the 2s orbital. This is because the the 2s orbitals will be filled with electrons first before the 3s orbital.

Also from basics we know that the energy of an orbital increases as the quantum number increases.
