By breaking a carbon double bond and adding fluorine. Answer: 2
Viefleur [7K]3 years ago
4 0

Option 3: By removing hydrogen because of fluorine's attraction to hydrogen's nucleus.

The reaction of ethene and halogen generally breaks the carbon-carbon double bond and substitution of halogen on carbon takes place, this is known as halogenation reaction. This is in the case of reaction of ethene with chlorine, bromine and iodine. In the case of fluorine,  due to high electronegativity it get attracts to the nucleus of hydrogen and form hydrogen fluorine gas. Therefore, halogentaion reaction do not take place in the case of ethene and iodine.

Ethene explosively reacts with fluorine to form carbon and hydrogen fluoride gas. The reaction is as follows:

CH_{2}CH_{2}+2F_{2}\rightarrow 2C+4HF

How is the kinetic energy of the constituent particles of any matter affected by a change in temperature?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Particles in all states of matter are in constant motion and this is very rapid at room temperature. A rise in temperature increases the kinetic energy and speed of particles; it does not weaken the forces between them. ... Individual particles in liquids and gases have no fixed positions and move chaotically.

What causes the difference in bond angles in carbon dioxide and water?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer is: C) the fact that the number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.

Carbon(IV) oxide is nonpolar because CO₂ is linear molecule and the oxygen atoms are symmetrical (bond angles 180°).

Water is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule.

Oxygen atom in water molecule has sp3 hybridization. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°.

Oxygen atom has atomic number 8, it means it has eight protons and eight electrons, so atom has neutral charge. Oxygen is a nonmetal.

Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Oxygen atom has six valence electrons , two lone pairs and two electrons that form two sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.

Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6, which means it has 6 protons and six electrons. Four valence electrons are in 2s and 2p orbitals.  

Electron configuration of carbon atom: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².  

In carbon dioxide, carban has sp hybridization with no lone pairs.
