Dicarbon monoxide, C2O, is found in dust clouds in space. Analysis of it shows that the sequence of atoms in this molecule is C–

C–O. All bonds are double bonds and there are no unpaired electrons. How many lone pairs of electrons are present in a molecule of C2O?

Carbon dioxide has 4 lone pairs of electrons. During bonding, the bonds accounts for 8 electrons of the 16 valence electrons the molecule has. The remaining 8 valence electrons will be placed as lone pairs, two on each oxygen atom. As a result carbon dioxide molecule has a total 4  lone pairs of electrons. Dicarbon monoxide is a molecule that contains two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom.  A lone pair refers to a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom and is some times called a non-bonding pair. Lone pairs are found in the outermost electron shell of atoms.

How plastic polymer types of compositions, surface hydrophobicity, crystallinity, porosity, size, shapes, aging or degree of wea
Andreas93 [3]

Explanation:

Scientific evidences abound of the occurrence of plastic pollution, from mega- to nano-sized plastics, in virtually all matrixes of the environment. Apart from the direct effects of plastics and microplastics pollution such as entanglement, inflammation of cells and gut blockage due to ingestion, plastics are also able to act as vectors of various chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment. This paper provides a review of the association of plastic additives with environmental microplastics, how the structure and composition of polymers influence sorption capacities and highlights some of the models that have been employed to interpret experimental data from recent sorption studies. The factors that influence the sorption of chemical contaminants such as the degree of crystallinity, surface weathering, and chemical properties of contaminants. and the implications of chemical sorption by plastics for the marine food web and human health are also discussed. It was however observed that most studies relied on pristine or artificially aged plastics rather than field plastic samples for studies on chemical sorption by plastics.

Need help on this question asap pleasee I would really appreciate it
Elza [17]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed and the change in enthalpy for the reaction is positive.

If we look at the reaction 2HgO + 45kcal ----> 2Hg + O2; we will notice that

i) 45kcal of energy was taken in (absorbed) for the reaction to occur

ii) The value of the reaction enthalpy is positive

For these two reasons, the reaction is an endothermic reaction as written.

irga5000 [103]
Answer:
            <span>In the addition of hbr to 1-butyne the electrophile in the first step of the mechanism is <u>Hydrogen atom of HBr</u>.

Explanation:
                   In this reaction first of all HBr approaches the triple bond. A Pi Complex (weak inter-molecular interactions) is formed between the two molecules. And the triple bond attacks the partial positive hydrogen atom creating a negative charge on Bromine along with positive charge on itself (Sigma Complex). In second step the negative Bromide attacks the positive carbon of Butyne.</span>
