Why is an energy pyramid shaped like a triangle with the point on the top?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elden [556K]3 years ago
6 0

The energy decreases as you move through the trophic levels from the bottom to the top of the energy pyramid. This is because the energy is used up by the organisms at each level. The pyramid shape is used to represent the flow of energy because of the way that energy is used up and lost throughout the system.

. What is a carbonyl group? Draw the carbonyl groups that are characteristic of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters
Elan Coil [88]

Answer :

  • Carbonyl group : It is a functional group composed of a carbon atom that double bonded to oxygen atom. It is represented as C=O

Carboxylic group : It is the class of organic compound in which the carboxylic (-COOH) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as carboxylic.

The general formula of carboxylic is, C_nH_{2n+1}COOH. According to the IUPAC naming, the carboxylic are named as alkanoic acids.

Aldehyde group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-CHO) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as aldehyde.

The general representation of aldehyde is, R-CHO. According to the IUPAC naming, the aldehyde are named as alkanals.

Ketone group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-CO) group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon is known as ketone.

The general representation of ketone is, R-CO-R^'. According to the IUPAC naming, the ketone are named as alkanone.

Ester group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-COO) group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon is known as ester.

The general representation of ester is, R-COO-R^'. According to the IUPAC naming, the ester are named as alkyl alkanoate.

2. Because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, the electrons in a water molecule spend more time closer to _____.
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

  • <em><u>oxygen atoms</u></em>

Explanation:

Electronegativity measures the relative strength with which the different elements attract the electrons in a covalent bond.

So, being oxygen more electronegative than hydrogen, the electrons in a water molecule (H₂O or H - O - H) are more strongly attractet by the oxygen atoms, which means that <em>the electrons will spend more time closer to oxygen atoms than to hydrogen atoms</em>.

As result of the <em>electrons spending more time closer to the oxygen atoms</em>, there will exist a partial negative charge over the oxygen atoms whiile there will be a partial positive charge over the hydrogen atoms.

Hence, the bond formed between oxygen and hydrogen atoms in a water molecules is a polar covalent bond.
