Answer:

CO HAS A TRIPLE BOND WHILE C-O BOND IN CO2 IS A DOUBLE BOND

CO HAS A LONE PAIR ON CARBON WHILE CO2 DOES NOT

Explanation:

Bond dissociation bond enthalpy or energy is the energy needed to break 1 mole of a divalent molecule into separate atoms mostly in the gaseous state.

The carbon and oxygen in carbon monoxide form a triple bond as carbon monoxide has 10 electrons in their outermost shell which results into six shared electrons in 3 bonding orbitals as against the double bond formed by other carbon compounds. Four electrons come from oxygen and the remaining two from carbon and due to this, two electrons from oxygen will occupy one orbital and this forms a dative bond. Also because of the triple bond, carbon monoxide is often regarded as a more stable compound than carbon dioxide with a double bond. This gives it its higher bond dissociation enthalpy value and more energy is needed to break it into its separate atoms. This is in conjunction with a larger bond length similar to the bong length in a triple bond. This makes it more stronger than the bond dissociation enthalpy of carbon dioxide having a double bond.

How could you engineer a device that produces beneficial friction and heat?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Hi

Explanation:

That's why rubbing your hands together makes them warmer. ... Friction causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster, so they have more energy. This gives them a higher temperature, and they feel warmer. Heat from friction can be useful.

Which of the following are functions of the ears?
Advocard [28]

The functions of the ears are:

I. Hearing by collecting and processing sound waves

II. Keeping our balance when we turn or bend over; option A

<h3>What is the function of the ear?</h3>

The ear is one of the five sense organs in the body.

The sense organs are the organs which receive external stimulus and send it to the brain for processing and response.

The other sense organs are:

  • the eye
  • the nose
  • the skin
  • the tongue

The functions of the ear are for hearing and for balance.

In conclusion, the sense organs function to receive stimulus and send them to the brain.

Negative radical in the periodic table​
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

A radical is a group of atoms of elements carrying a charge, e.g., chlorate [ClO3–]. Radicals or ions are formed by losing or gaining electrons. When an electron is gained the group of atoms acquire a negative charge and is called a negative radical or negative ion.
