<span>The correct answer is option 1. It is the carbon (C) atom that can bond with each other to form ring and chain structures in compounds. These ring and chain structures and compounds are called organic compounds. Chain structures include alkanes, alkenes, alkynes. Ring structures include cyclic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons.</span>

Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Carbon atoms are able to combine with its atoms resulting in formation of long chains. This property of carbon is known as catenation. Whereas carbon atom also has the property to combine with other atoms and results in the formation of long chains or rings.

On the other hand, oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine does not form long chains or rings.

Thus, we can conclude that carbon is the element whose atoms can bond with each other to form long chains or rings.

what is the maximum amount of moles of P2O5 that can theoretically be made from 136 g of P4 and excess oxygen

zhuklara [117]

We are given with
136 g P4
excess oxygen

The complete combustion reaction is
P4 + 5O2 => 2P2O5
Converting the amount of P4 to moles
136/123.9 = 1.098 moles

Using stoichiometry
moles P2O5 = 1.098 x 2 = 2.195 moles P2O5

The heating curve shows the energy gain of a substance as it changes from solid to gas. Which section of the graph shows the liq

Schach [20]

Answer:

C. C

Explanation:

The heating curve is a graphical representation shows that how different phases of substances change as it is influenced by the increase in temperature or heat.

Section A represents solid phase, Section B represents solid-liquid phase, section C represents liquid phase, section D represent liquid-gas phase and section E represents gas phase.

Section C of the graph shows the liquid phase of the substance gaining kinetic energy. During Phase C, heat energy is absorbed and liquid particles gain kinetic energy to change into gas form that is section E.

Hence, the correct option is C.C.

The effective nuclear charge of an atom is primarily affected by ________.

Fittoniya [83]

The answer to this question would be: inner electrons

The effective nuclear charge is the net positive charge that applied to an electron of a polyelectronic atom. It was written with the formula of Zeff= Z-S where Zeff means the effective nuclear charge, Z is the nuclear charge and S is the average number of the electron between the electron and nucleus.
Since only inner electron is counted on S, the outer electron has no effect.
