Give the number of covalent bonds that a carbon atom can form.

Chemistry
1 answer:
polet [3.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

four covalent bonds

Explanation:

A carbon atom would form 4 covalent bonds.

For a covalent bond to be formed, an atom would share its valence electrons with another. In this process, each atom would require unpaired electrons for this bond to be formed. The number of available unpaired electrons would represent the number of electrons needed to complete the outer energy level of the atom.

In a carbon atom, we have no lone pair of electrons and 4 unpaired electrons. When these 4 electrons are shared with those of other atoms, they produce a complete octet which perfectly mimics the noble gases.

Using the example of an ambulance, explain the Doppler Effect. Infer why the doppler effect can or cannot occur in all waves. PL
kozerog [31]

Answer:

When the ambulance is coming towardss you the waves are smushed together and sound higher pitched but then it passes you and when tracveling away the waves are scretched out so the whee whoo sounds lower and that is because of the doppler effect

A certain first order reaction has a half-life of 54. 3 s. How long will it take (in s) for the reactant concentration to decrea
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

82.4 s

Explanation:

Find the NUMBEr of half lives...then multiply by 54.3

2.27 = 6.5 (1/2)^n

log (2.27/6.5) / log (1/2) = n = 1.52 half lives

1.52 * 54.3 = 82.4 s

an atom has a charge of -3 in its orbitals which statement must be true in order for this atom to have no net charge
NISA [10]

Answer:

The atom must lose its three extra electrons to make the atom over all neutral.

Explanation:

The three subatomic particles construct an atom electron, proton and neutron. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons.

If an atom have -3 charge it means three more electrons are added. In order to make the atom overall neutral three more electrons must be removed so that negative and positive charge becomes equal and cancel the effect of each other and make the atom neutral.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e⁻

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Proton and neutron:

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P⁺

Symbol of neutron= n⁰

Mass of proton=1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg
