What is the total number of pairs of electrons shared between the carbon atom and the oxygen atom in a molecule of methanal?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer is: between the carbon atom and the oxygen atom in a molecule of methanal there are two (2) pairs of electrons.

Methanal or formaldehyde (H₂C=O) is the simplest of the aldehydes.
In methanal, bond between carbon and oxygen is double covalent bond (one sigma and one pi bond), which means there are four shared electrons or two pair of electrons.

Explanation:

It is known that 1 gram contains 1000 milligrams. And, mathematically we can represent it as follows.

$\frac{1 g}{1000 mg}$ or $\frac{1000 mg}{1 g}$

So, when we have to convert grams into milligrams then we simply multiply the digit with 1000. And, if we have to convert a digit from milligrams to grams then we simply divide it by 1000.

vichka [17]

Explanation:

Since, the atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. So, in order to attain stability it needs to gain 3 electrons.

Hence, when it chemically combines another nitrogen atom then as both the atoms are non-metals. So, sharing of electrons will take place.

Also, there is no difference in electronegativity of two nitrogen atoms. Hence, compound formed $N_{2}$ is non-polar covalent in nature.

Si has 4 available elections. Each Cl has 7.
7 x 4 = 28 + the 4 from your Si gives the total of 32 total electrons.
