How many σ bonds are there in each molecule ethane ethylene acetylene?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Murljashka [212]4 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

When there occurs head-on overlapping between the atomic orbitals then the bond formed is known as a sigma bond.

A sigma bond is represented by the symbol "\sigma". A compound with only single bonds between its atoms will have all the bonds as sigma bonds.

A double bond has one sigma and one pi bond. Whereas a triple bond will have one sigma and two pi bonds.

Hence, number of sigma bonds present in the given compounds will be as follows.

  • As the chemical formula of ethane is CH_{3}CH_{3} and it contains only single bonds. Hence, in a molecule of ethane there are 7 sigma bonds.
  • Chemical formula of ethylene is C_{2}H_{4} and it contains one double bond. Hence, total number of sigma bonds present in a molecule of ethylene are 5 and there is one pi bond also.
  • Chemical formula of acetylene is C_{2}H_{2}. There is one triple bond present in it. So, the total number of sigma bonds present in a molecule of acetylene is 3 and there are 2 pi bonds also.

The  sigma  bonds  are  formed  when  orbitals  overlap  side  by  side  and  is  related  to  covalent  bond  In  ethylene  the number  of  sigma   bond  are  5.
Reason,  carbon  has  four  carbon -hydrogen  bond  which  form  four  sigma  bond.  The  other    sigma  bond  is  between  carbon=carbon  bond  thus  ethylene  has  5  sigma  bond

Savatey [412]

Answer:

The recovery of pure caffeine is 67.3% of the original, crude sample.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of pure caffeine = 1.69 grams

Original mass of sample = 2.51 grams

Step 2: What is the percent recovery of pure caffeine from crude?

Percentage = (mass of recovery / original mass) *100%

Percentage = (1.69 grams/2.51 grams) *100%

Percentage = 67.3 %

The recovery of pure caffeine is 67.3% of the original, crude sample.

How can water and gravity work together to erode soil,sediment,and rock
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Ever seen a waterfall ? what do you think happens when all that water slams into the ground below ? same as when you turn a hosepipe on a flowerbed.

also, there's hydraulic cracking where water gets into cracks and freezes, splitting rocks apart.

fast moving water can carry sediment and roll rocks along the bottom. if the water slows down, it drops the rocks and heavier sediment. if it floods a field, say, then drains away, the grass will also filter smaller particles out, or the water might evaporate and leave fine sediment behind.
