Why does carbon have the ability to form multiple bonds?

1 answer:

7 0

Carbon has the ability to form multiple bonds because it has four valence electrons. Having four valence electrons means that carbon has a lot of space to form bonds with other atoms, or multiple bonds, in order to reach the full octet.

Hope this helps!! :)

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Initial volume of the gas = $V_1=3.5 L$

Final volume of the gas = $V_2=?$

Initial pressure of the gas = $P_1=0.8 atm$

Final volume of the gas = $P_2=0.5 atm$

Using Boyle's law:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

$0.8 atm \times 3.5 L=0.5 atm\times V_2$

$V_2=5.6 L$

Hence,the correct answer is option A.

True or False;<br> aa is faster moving lava than pahoehoe?

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

It is false :l

Explanation:

Pahoehoe is a smooth and continuous lava crust. Pahoehoe forms when the effusion rate is low and consequently the velocity of lava flow is slow. Pahoehoe lava flow is usually at least 10 times slower than typical aa lava flow.
