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

Methanal or formaldehyde (H</span>₂C=O)<span> </span><span>is the simplest of the </span><span>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.</span>

According to Hund's rule of maximum spin multiplicity, how many singly-occupied orbitals are there in the valence shells of the
leva [86]

Answer:

A) carbon  - 2

B) cobalt  - 3

C) sulfur   - 2

D) fluorine   - 1

E) titanium   - 2

F) germanium  - 2

Explanation:

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:-

Firstly, every orbital which is present in the sublevel is singly occupied and then the orbital is doubly occupied.  

(A) Carbon.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^2

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

(B) Cobalt.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{7}4s^2

Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 3 orbitals will be singly filled in cobalt.

(C) Sulfur.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

Thus, 3s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 2 electrons will be paired in 1 orbital and 2 orbitals will be singly filled in sulfur.

D) fluorine

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^5

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 1 orbital will be singly filled in fluorine.

E) Titanium

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{2}4s^2

Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 2 orbitals will be singly filled in titanium.

F) Germanium

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^2

Thus, 4s, 3d orbitals are fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Germanium has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

Which is the IUPAC name for NO?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Nitrogen (ii) oxide

Explanation:

To know the IUPAC name for NO, we shall determine the oxidation number of N in NO.

NOTE: The oxidation number of oxygen (O) is always – 2.

Thus the oxidation number of N in NO can be obtained as follow:

N + O = 0 (ground state)

N + (– 2) = 0

N – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

N = 0 + 2

N = +2

Thus, the oxidation number of Nitrogen (N) in NO is +2.

Therefore, the IUPAC name for NO is Nitrogen (ii) oxide
