Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Carbon is a non-metal and it belongs to group 14 of the periodic table.

Atomic number of carbon is 6 and its electronic distribution is 2, 4. And, in order to attain stability a carbon atom can either lose its valence electron or it can gain 4 electrons from another atom by sharing or donating.

Hence, a carbon atom is able to form a single, double or a triple bond with its own or another atom. This makes carbon atom to form multiple bonds.

Thus, we can conclude that carbon bond to many elements simultaneously because it is capable of forming multiple covalent bonds.

What is the solution to the problem to the correct number of significant figures (102,900/12)+(170•1.27)
GarryVolchara [31]

As per as the Multiplication rules of the significant figures, whenever any numbers in the decimals forms are multiplied or divided then result in mentioned in such a way so that the significant figures after the decimal will be same as that in the given least condition.


_______________________________


102900/12 = 8575


170 × 1.27 = 215.9


∴ (102,900 ÷ 12) + (170 × 1.27) =  8575 + 215.9


= 8790.9


Now, As per as Above rules, answer in correct significant figures will be = 8791.

Differentiate between short period and long period in modern periodic table​
AfilCa [17]
The difference between short period and long period is based upon the number of elements in each period. Shortest period is the first period which contains elements, while the longest period is the 6th period which contains 32 elements.

Which of the following two combinations of reactants is more appropriate for the preparation of p-nitrophenyl phenyl ether? Fluo
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

p-fluoronitrobenzene and sodium phenoxide is more appropriate

Explanation:

An ipso substitution is required to form p-nitrophenyl phenyl ether.

For this ipso substitution, an alkoxide anion needs to attack as a nucleophile at the carbon atom attached to fluorine atom and thereby substitute that F atom.

p-nitrophenoxide is an weak nucleophile as compared to phenoxide due to presence of electron withdrawing resonating effect of nitro group at para position.

p-fluoronitrobenzene is a good choice for nucleophilic attack by alkoxide anion as compared to fluorobenzene due to higher positive charge density at carbon atom directly attached to F atom. Higher positive charge density arises due to presence of electron withdrawing resonating effect og nitro group at para position.

So, p-fluoronitrobenzene and sodium phenoxide is more appropriate

irinina [24]

Answer:

Cl

Explanation:

chlorine (2,8,7) is a non metal with highest electronegativity. Hence, it is most likely to form a negative ion with charge −1.

Answer this ASAP please!! Question: How many magnesium atoms does magnesium oxide need? (Science) (ONLY ANSWER IF YOU KNOW WHAT
aliina [53]

Answer:

40.3 for the unit that represents the minimum amount of magnesium oxide I beilieve.

Explanation:

Magnesium atoms are heavier than oxygen atoms, so we expect more than 50% of magnesium in the weight composition. Taking just one atom of Mg and one atom of O you will get a mass of 16.0 + 24.3 = 40.3.

Hope this helps! Please tell me if you have any questions :))
