The characteristics of carbon compounds are they exist with different structures in which the atoms are arranged differently and it forms more compounds than other elements combined.

Explanation:

The carbon atom has atomic number 6 which represents the number of electrons. It is represented by C and it is a non- metal. It has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. They are smaller in size so that it can fit in to larger molecules.

It is the only element that can form different compounds because each carbon atoms can form four chemical bonds to other atoms.

The structure of carbon atom is represented with its atomic number 6. The first two electrons are present in inner shell and the remaining four are present in the second shell.

The carbon combines with oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen to form many molecules for cellular function. Carbon and hydrogen combine to form hydrocarbon chains and rings.

For example the structural formula for Methane (CH4)

How do you determine if and ion has a<br> noble-gasconfiguration?
Soloha48 [4]

Explanation:

Noble gas configuration is defined as the configuration which contains completely filled orbitals.

For example, oxygen atom when gain two electrons then it forms oxygen ion (O^{2-}).

Atomic number of oxygen atom is 8 and so, its number of electrons will also be 8. But when it gain two electrons then it has total 10 electrons. Hence, electronic configuration of O^{2-} is as follows.

          1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}

Since, there are completely filled orbitals in an O^{2-} ions. Therefore, it means this ion has a  noble-gas configuration.

Thus, we can conclude that any specie which shows completely filled orbitals will have noble-gas configuration.

Calculate the concentration of oxalate ion (c2o42–) in a 0.175 m solution of oxalic acid (c2h2o4). [for oxalic acid, ka1 = 6.5 ×
Darina [25.2K]

C2H2O4 C2HO4- + H+

0.175 - x x x + y

C2HO4- c2o42– + H+

x - y y x + y

K2 = (y) (x +y) / (x-y)

As, y << x

So, K2 = (y) (x) / (x)

K2 = y =6.1 × 10^–5

Hence, concentration of (c2o42–) 6.1 × 10^–5 M

N2O4(g) + 4H2(g) → N2(g) + 4H2O(g), solve using standard enthalpies of formation
aev [14]

The standard enthalpy of formation (ΔH_f) is a measure of the energy released or consumed when one mole of a substance is created under standard conditions from its pure elements.

Standard enthalpies (ΔH_f) of formation for given reaction is 978.3 kJ

<h3>What is Standard enthalpies of formation?</h3>

The standard enthalpy of formation is defined as the enthalpy change when one mole of a substance in the standard state (1 atm of pressure and 298.15 K) is formed from its pure elements under the same conditions.

Given reaction ;

N_2O_4(g) + 4H_2 (g) - > N_2(g) + 4H_2O(g)

To Find : ΔH_f

ΔH_f = ∑np ΔH_f (products) – ∑np ΔH_f (reactants)

ΔH_f = [1(ΔH_f N_2) + 4(ΔH_f H_2O)] – [1(ΔH_f N_2O_4) + 4(ΔH_f H_2)]

ΔH_f = [1(0) + 4(-241.8)] – [1(+9.16) + 4(0)]

ΔH_f  = [4(-241.8)] – [1(+9.16)] = 978.3 kJ

Which substance is an electrolyte?<br><br> (1) O2 <br> (2) Xe <br> (3) C3H8<br> (4) KNO3
defon

(1) O2  Is a Nonelectrolyte: because it does not ionize when dissolved in a solution

(2) Xe Is a Nonelectrolyte: because it does not ionize when dissolved in a solution

(3) C3H8 Is a Nonelectrolyte: because it does not ionize when dissolved in a solution

(4) KNO3 Is an electrolyte: because it ionizes when dissolved in a solution

Electrolytes:

Electrolytes are the substance whose aqueous solution conducts electricity. These are mainly two types:

1. Strong electrolytes

2. Weak electrolytes:

Strong electrolytes:

Strong electrolytes have following properties:

1. They are ionic compounds.

2. They are completely separates into their ions when dissolved in water.

3. In solution form they conduct electricity due to present of ions but in solid form means neutral molecule does not conduct electricity.

Weak electrolytes:

Weak electrolytes are partially ionizes in water.

In general strong electrolytes are strong acid  and  strong base while weak electrolytes are weak acid and weak bases.

Nonelectrolyte:  

The substance which does not ionize when dissolved in a solution is called non-electrolyte. It is a  poor conductor of electricity.
