C the atoms size is irrelevant

leva [86]4 years ago

3 0

Answer: C. atoms must be small.

Explanation: Hydrogen bond is the result of the electrostatic forces of attraction between the hydrogen and the electonegative atom. It is a type of dipole dipole interaction which is not so much of a covalent bond.

The options A, B and D satisfies the definition of the hydrogen bonding but the option C seems to be irrelevant as hydrogen bonding does not deal with the size of the atom.

Thus for the hydrogen bonding , the other atom must be electronegative, and atoms must have atleast one lone pair of electrons and atoms must not be able to closely approach the hydrogen.

How can a new element be made?

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

by changing the number of protons in the atom

Explanation:

Elements are defined by their number of protons. For example, an element with 1 proton is hydrogen, and an element with 2 protons is helium. Changing the number of neutrons or electrons in a preexisting element will not make a new element. Is is possible to create new elements, but it requires large amounts of heat and/or pressure.

A fossilized bone contains about 65% of its original carbon-14. to the nearest hundred years, how old is the bone

Assoli18 [71]

3600 years.
Since 65% of the carbon-14 is remaining, we need to get the logarithm to base 2 of 0.65 to determine how many half lives have expired. So: log(0.65)/log(2) = -0.187086643/0.301029996 = -0.621488377
So we know that 0.621488377 half-lives has gone by to the bone sample. Now we just need to multiply by the half-life of carbon-14 which is 5730 years. So: 0.621488377 * 5730 = 3561.128399 years.  Rounding to the nearest 100 years gives us 3600 years.

Write balanced equations for each of the processes, choosing from the following substances as reactants: BaCl2 O2 H2SO4 HNO3 C2H

marishachu [46]

Answer:

BaCl₂ and H₂SO₄

Explanation:

The reaction is the precipitation of BaSO₄ from solution.

This means that our reactants must contain the Ba ion and SO₄²⁻ ion. The reactants that meet this criteria are the; BaCl₂ aand H₂SO₄

The reaction is given as;

BaCl₂ + H₂SO₄ --> BaSO₄ + 2HCl

What is the charge on Iodine

True [87]

There is no single charge on iodine (if you are referring to its oxidizing number). Since it can have more than 8 electrons for its outermost shell (really crazy stuff about atomic orbitals!), It can possess many charges. Like it's basic form I- (-1 oxidizing number), IO3- (-7), IO2- (-5), even I3-!

What is the name of this hydrocarbon? 2-dimethylyne 2-methylbutane 4-methylbutene 4,3-methylbutyne 4,4-methylbutane

Alisiya [41]

You have shown no structure, still we can work out for the answer :).

First Option: 2-dimethylyne: This name is incorrect, because it does not contain any parent chain name.

Second Option: 2-methylbutane: I have drawn its structure below, compare it with your structure.

Third Option: 4-methylbutene: I have drawn the structure for this name. But this name is also against IUPAC rules, and its correct name is 1-Pentene.

Fourth Option: 4,3-methylbutyne: Again incorrect name, 4,3 are two positions, but here only one substituent is given (methyl). I have drawn structure of 3,4-Dimethylbutene, this name is incorrect, and the correct name for this compound is 3-Methyl-1-pentene.

Fifth Option: 4,4-methylbutane: Again incorrect name, 4,4 means at 4 position two substituents, but in name only methyl is given. Anyhow lets make it two and draw a structure, for 4,4-Dimethylbutane. Ooops!! This name is also incorrect, and the correct name for this compound is 2-Methylpentane.

Result:
Among all options only, option B (2-Methylbutane) is correctly named, and this will be the correct name for the structure given to you.
