Chemistry
1 answer:
Ronch [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a, b and d are correct.

Explanation:

There are two types of attractive forces in covalent compounds:

  • The force that holds the atoms together in a molecule (the covalent bond).
  • The force that <u>operates between molecules</u>, called an intermolecular force.

Because intermolecular forces are usually quite weak compared with the forces holding atoms together within a molecule, <u>molecules of a covalent compound are not held together tightly</u>. Consequently, covalent compounds are usually gases, liquids, or low-melting solids.

Most covalent compounds aqueous solutions generally do not conduct electricity, because the compounds are nonelectrolytes.

How many rings does an alkane have if its formula is c10h16?
stepladder [879]

If it is saturated compound then we can calculate the double bond equivalent which will be equal to the number of rings in the compound

the double bond equivalent can be calculated using following formula

DBE = (C + 1 -\frac{H}{2} - \frac{X}{2} +\frac{N}{2} )

Where

H = number of Hydrogen atoms

C = number of carbon atoms

X= number of halogen atoms

N = number of nitrogen atoms

DBE = (10 + 1  - 16 / 2 ) = 3

Hence there are three rings in the compound

How can a new element be made?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

by changing the number of protons in the atom

Explanation:

Elements are defined by their number of protons. For example, an element with 1 proton is hydrogen, and an element with 2 protons is helium. Changing the number of neutrons or electrons in a preexisting element will not make a new element. Is is possible to create new elements, but it requires large amounts of heat and/or pressure.
