State each of the following statement true or false? A. A carbon atom can form up to four covalent bonds. B. A carbon atom has s

ix electrons in its outermost shell. C. The bond between a carbon and hydrogen atom is a polar bond. D. Oxygen and nitrogen have a stronger electronegativity than carbon (e.g., a strong pull on a shared electron). E. Bonds between carbon and other atoms are relatively unstable and readily dissociate, resulting in the formation of new molecules. F. The carbon backbone of a molecule is made up of a string of carbon atoms held together with either single or double bonds. G. The carbon backbone of a molecule comes in a variety of shapes: linear, ring-like, or highly branched. H. Carbon is a relatively large atom allowing it to bind to more atoms than smaller atoms would, thereby making it more versatile.

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

A. A carbon atom can form up to four covalent bonds. True

B. A carbon atom has six electrons in its outermost shell. False, a  carbon atom only has 4 electrons in its outermost shell.

C. The bond between a carbon and hydrogen atom is a polar bond. True

D. Oxygen and nitrogen have a stronger electronegativity than carbon (e.g., a strong pull on a shared electron). True, carbon electronagativity is 2.55, while oxygen and nitrogen electronegativities are 3.44 and 3.04.

E. Bonds between carbon and other atoms are relatively unstable and readily dissociate, resulting in the formation of new molecules. False, carbon bonds are very stable.

F. The carbon backbone of a molecule is made up of a string of carbon atoms held together with either single or double bonds. True, carbon can form strings with single, double or triple bonds.

G. The carbon backbone of a molecule comes in a variety of shapes: linear, ring-like, or highly branched. True, carbon molecules can form a great variety of shapes.

H. Carbon is a relatively large atom allowing it to bind to more atoms than smaller atoms would, thereby making it more versatile. False, carbon atom is a small molecule.

denpristay [2]

The mole ratio of the reaction shows that equal volumes of hydrogen gas will be produced by the two reactions.

<h3>What is the mole ratio of a reaction?</h3>

The mole ratio of a reaction is the ratio in which the reactants and products of a given reaction occur for the reaction to proceed to completion.

The mole ratio of a reaction is also known as the stoichiometry of the reaction.

The equation of the two reactions are given below:

Mg + 2HCl \rightarrow MgCl_2 + H_2

Mg + 2CH_3COOH \rightarrow (CH_3COO)_2Mg + H_2 \\

From the equation of the reaction reaction, an equal volume of hydrogen gas will be produced by the two reactions.

Therefore, the mole ratio of the reaction shows that equal volumes of hydrogen gas will be produced by the two reactions.

For the oxidation-reduction reaction equation given here 4ga+p4 indicate how many electrons are transferred in the formation of
sergij07 [2.7K]
The reaction given is:

4Ga + P4 ---> 4GaP

The oxidation number of the reactants is zero, because they are pure elements.

The P in compounds may have oxidation states 3- or 5-. Gallium may only have oxidation state 3+.

Then, to be neutral in GaP the oxidation states are 3+ for Ga and 3- for P.

And the transference of electrons can be see in this oxidation - reduction equations:

Ga (0) - 3 e-    ----> Ga (3+)

P (0) + 3e- ---> P (3-)

So, for one formula unit, 3 electrons have been transfered from each Ga atom to P atom to form one GaP unit.

Answer: 3 electrons.

1. A dining hall had a total of 25 tables-some long rectangular tables and some round
TEA [102]

x = 20 long tables

y = 5 round table

Explanation:

We have the following system of equations:

x + y = 25

8x + 6y = 190

From the first equation we have:

x = 25 - y

And we replace x in the second equation:

8(25 - y) + 6y = 190

200 - 8y + 6y = 190

200 - 2y = 190

200 - 190 = 2y

10 = 2y

y = 5

Now we insert the value of y in the next equation:

x = 25 - y

x = 25 - 5

x = 20
