This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Which formula represents a hydrocarbon?

(1) CH3I

(2) CH3NH2

(3) CH3CH3

(4) CH3OH

Answer:

The correct answer is option (3) CH3CH3 .

Explanation:

Hydrocarbon is an organic compound and as we can see in its formula, it is composed of hydrogen (H) and carbon (C).

Each carbon has 4 electrons, it is for this reason that it will have to make four bonds for the union to be stable, and since these bonds in carbon are generated in an easy and strong way, this will allow thousands of types to be generated of hydrocarbons.

There are different chains that these atoms can form:

Linear / Branched
Open / Closed

In turn, hydrocarbons can be classified as aliphatic or aromatic.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option C.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

earths rotation on its axis

Explanation:

Day and night are due to the Earth rotating on its axis, not its orbiting around the sun. The term 'one day' is determined by the time the Earth takes to rotate once on its axis and includes both day time and night time.

Draw a Lewis structure for one important resonance form of HBrO4 (HOBrO3). Include all lone pair electrons in your structure. Do

klemol [59]

Answer:

The Lewis structure is attached with the answer -

Explanation:

Lewis structure or Lewis dot diagram are diagrams or representation of showing the bonding between different or same atoms of a molecule in any and also shows lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule as dots.

HBrO₄ is bromine oxoacid which is also known as perbromic acid. It is a unstable inorganic compound.

The Lewis structure is attached in form of image with representation of lone pairs of electrons.
