Answer: 4. and
Explanation:
a) The given reaction is
As the mass on both reactant and product side must be equal:
As the atomic number on both reactant and product side must be equal:
b)
Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side
15 =15 + x
x = 0
Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side
8 = 7 + y
y = 1
Answer:
The approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein is 120°.
Explanation:
The structure of acrolein is shown in the attachment. From the structure, we can deduce that the central carbon atom is in an sp2 hybridization (Atoms with a double bond hybridize in an sp2 fashion).
Atoms with sp2 hybridization have trigonal planar geometry, in this kind of hybridization, bonds are oriented the farthest away possible from each other, to minimize overlapping and the angle that allows that is 120°.
