A carbon compound is made up of two parts: R−F, where R is the hydrocarbon part and F is the functional group part.
So, this R (hydrocarbon) part determines the physical properties of a compound and the F (functional group) part determines the chemical properties of the compounds.
Answer:
A) The shared electrons in C-O bonds spend less time close to the carbon nucleus than the shared electrons in C-H bonds.
Explanation:
The electronegativity from H is 2.2, from C is 2.55 and from O is 3.44. This property is the measure of the attractive force between an atom and a pair of electrons.
So, the difference of electronegativity of H and C is smaller than the difference between O and C. Because oxygen is more electronegative, the electrons stay close to it in the bond C=O. So carbon has a partial positive charge in that bond. For the bond C-H, the shared electrons stay closes to carbon.
