Chemistry
1 answer:

Answer:

  • Because<em> alkenes and alkynes</em> are defined as molecules with at least one double (in the case of alkenes) or triple (in the case of alkynes) bond between two carbon atoms, while alkanes have only single bonds between any pair of carbon atoms.

Explanation:

<em>Alkenes</em> and <em>alkynes</em> are unsaturated molecules, because they have, at least, two adjacent carbon atoms bonded together by either a doubler or a triple bond: - C = C -  or - C ≡ C -.

Hence, at least two carbon atoms are needed to form those double or triple bonds, while alkanes have only single bonds. The example of alkane with only one carbon atom is methane: CH₄, which is the most simple alkane.

The most simple alkene is CH₂ = CH₂, and the most simple alkyne is CH≡CH.

As you see, the very definition of alkenes and alkynes forces that those molecules must have at least two carbon atoms.

How is the oxidation state of a transition metal determined from the chemical formula ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.

We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.

The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.

To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:

  • The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
  • The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to  the charge on the ion.

For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻

This would be:  2x + 7(-2) = -2

                          x = +6

We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.
