Answer:

A. The carbons share three pairs of electrons in ethyne and only two pairs in ethene

Explanation:

Both ethene and ethyne are hydrocarbons i.e. they contain C and H.

Ethene belongs to the alkene series with a formula C2H4. Here the carbon atoms are linked together via a double bond and carbon and hydrogens are linked via a single bond.

Ethyne belongs to the alkyne series with a formula C2H2. The C atoms are linked by a triple bond and carbon and hydrogens are linked via a single bond.

Since each bond constitutes a pair of electrons, accordingly the carbons share three pairs of electrons in ethyne and only two pairs in ethene.

The correct answer is A. The carbons in ethyne share three pairs of electrons which makes it an alkyne while in ethene only two pair of electrons are being shared by the two carbon atoms. In other words, ethyne contains a triple bond while ethene contains a double bond.

The attractions that allow molecules of krypton to exist in the solid phase are due to:
OLga [1]

Answer:

4) Van der waals forces

Explanation:

Krypton (Kr) belongs to the noble gas group and has fully filled valence orbitals. In the solid phase, Kr exists as a white solid with a face centered cubic structure.

Intermolecular forces of attraction from the strongest to the weakest include:

Ionic > hydrogen bonding > dipole-dipole > london dispersion

Kr is monoatomic and non-polar. When fully filled (stable) valence orbitals of 2 Kr atoms approach each other in close proximity they experience a repulsive force which prevents the formation of strong bonds. Thus, the only force of attraction in Kr is the long range weak Van Der Waals force also known as the london dispersion force.
