What is the difference between single, double, and triple covalent bonds? How many shared electrons are in each?

Chemistry

Answer:

The single covalent bond is represented by a single ' - ' and it has 2 shared electrons from the the bonding atoms.

Double covalent bond is denoted with '=' and it has 4 shared electrons

Triple covalent bond is denoted by ' _=' and it has 6 shared electrons

Explanation:

In single covalent bond each participating atom contributes one electron each to be equally shared between them in order to form a single covalent bond. Thus a single covalent bond is formed when atoms share 2 electrons together

The double covalent bond is formed when each participating atom contributes two electrons each to be equally shared between them in order to form a double covalent bond. Thus a double covalent bond results from the sharing of 4 electrons together by two atoms. For example the formation of oxygen gas molecule

In triple covalent bonds, 6 electrons are shared and each pair of electrons forms a bond which results in triple covalent bonds. Each atom contributes 3 electrons for equal sharing.

Answer

A *single covalent bond* is formed by sharing one pair of valence electrons.They are less reactive comparatviely and have a high bond length

A *double covalent bond* is formed by sharing two pairs of valence electrons.They are moderately reactive and have moderate bond length.

A *triple covalent bond* is formed by sharing three pairs of valence electrons.They are highly reactive and have a low bond length.

You've made the hypothesis that the less rainfall a cactus plant gets, the taller it will grow, since cactuses like dry conditio
Leviafan [203]

A. the height of the cactus plants

Explanation:

The dependent variable in this experiment designed to test this hypothesis is the height of the cactus plants.

In a hypothesis statement, we can always deduce the dependent and independent variables.

  • Independent variables do not rely on other variables. They are usually the cause of the phenomenon observed in an experiment. In this experiment, it is the rainfall on the cactus plant.
  • Dependent variable is that variable that relies on the independent variable. It is usually the effect of changes in independent variable.
  • The height of the cactus plant depends on the amount of rainfall in an area.

Planck’s constant is approximately equal to which of the following?
KonstantinChe [14]
Henlo!
Bohr's model was unable to calculate or it required precise information about position of an electron and its velocity. It is very difficult to calculate velocity and position of an electron at the same time because electron i too small to see and may only be observed if peturbed, for example we could hit the electron with another particle such as photon or an electron, or we could apply electric or magnetic field to the electron. This will inevitably change the position of the elctron or its velocity and direction. Heisenberg aid that more precisely we can define the position of an electron, the less certainity we are able to define its velocity and vice versa. 
In short, first option is correct one
