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 does the mass of a paper airplane affect how far it will fly?

erastovalidia [21]

The larger the paper airplane the more it will weigh, the more it weighs the more lift will be needed to keep it flying. Eventually weight will become greater than lift and the paper airplane will decend to the ground. In adition the larger the paper airplane the larger its wings can be.

Combustion of 1.000 g of an organic compound known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produces 2.360 g of carbon dioxi

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The empirical formula is C3H4O

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the compound = 1.000 grams

The compound contains:

- Carbon

- hydrogen

- oxygen

The combustion of this compound gives:

2.360 grams of CO2

0.640 grams of H2O

Step 2: Calculate moles CO2

Moles CO2 = mass CO2 / molar mass CO2

Moles CO2 = 2.360 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.05362 moles

In CO2 we have 1 mol

This means for 1 mol CO2 we have 1 mol C

For 0.05362 moles CO2 we have 0.05362 moles C

We have 0.05362 moles of C in the compound

Step 3: Calculate mass of C

Mass C = moles C * molar mass C

Mass C = 0.05362 moles * 12.0 g/mol

Mass C = 0.643 grams

Step 4: Calculate moles of H2O

Moles H2O = 0.640 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 0.0355 moles H2O

For 1 mol H2O we have 2 moles of H

For 0.0355 moles H2O we have 2*0.0355 = 0.071 moles H

Step 5: Calculate mass of H

Mass H = moles H * molar mass H

Mass H = 0.071 moles * 1.01 g/mol

Mass H = 0.072 grams

Step 6: Calculate mass of O

Mass of O = Mass of compound - mass of C - mass of H

Mass of O = 1.000 g - 0.643 - 0.072 = 0.285 grams

Step 7: Calculate moles of O

Moles O = 0.285 grams / 16.0 g/mol

Moles O = 0.0178 moles

Step 8: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

C: 0.05362 / 0.0178 = 3

H: 0.071 / 0.0178 = 4

O: 0.0178/0.0178 = 1

The empirical formula is C3H4O

Hydrogen bonding occurs in molecules when a _____________. (1 point)

Burka [1]

Answer: hydrogen atom of a polarized molecule bonds with an electro negative atom.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are special type of dipole dipole forces which are formed when hydrogen bonds with an electro negative element. Hydrogen bonds are strongest type of bonds .Example: Bond between Oxygen of one water molecule to the hydrogen of another water molecule as shown in the image below.

Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons among non metals.

Ionic bond is formed by transfer of electrons between metals and non metals.
