1 answer:
masya89 [10]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A

Explanation:

In all the other options either Carbon has more than 4 atoms attached or less than 4.

Carbon can not form more than four bonds. It can only share 4 electrons .

In other option C, No H-atom is linked in the right most Carbon.

whereas according to the definition of Hydrocarbon it should have been a Hydrogen atom.

The atomic number,atomic mass,valence electrons and the formula for calculating the number of neutrons is also given.The following table has been completed below in the attachment.

Explanation:

Atomic Number:the number of protons /electrons present in the nucleus of an atom is called the atomic number.

Mass Number/Atomic Mass:the number of protons and neutrons present in a nucleus

<u>Example:</u>C_{6} ^{12};here;6 implies the atomic number and 12 implies the mass number/atomic mass

<u><em>No.of neutrons=Mass number-Number of protons</em></u>

Valence electrons:the number of electrons present in the outer most shell of an atom are called valence electrons

<u>Example:</u>If we consider a carbon atom;as its <em>e</em><em>lectronic configuration is2,4 and</em>  it belongs to 4th group.Therefore the number of valency electrons in carbon is <u>4.</u>

How many covalent bonds does nitrogen form if each of its unpaired electrons participate in one bond?
nirvana33 [79]

Nitrogen could form 3 covalent bonds if each of its unpaired electrons participates in one bond.

Nitrogen atom forms 3 bonds based on octet rule, because it has 5 valence electrons. That means it needs 3 bonds or three more electrons.

<h3>Further Explanation;</h3><h3>Chemical bond  </h3>
  • A bond is a type of force that is formed between atoms of different through the sharing or transfer of electrons.
<h3>Octet rule</h3>
  • According to the octet rule for an atom to be stable it must have maximum number of electrons in its outermost energy level. Therefore an atom with four electrons requires four more electrons to attain stability.
<h3>Types of chemical bonds.</h3><h3>Covalent bond  </h3>
  • This is a type of bond that is formed between non-metal atoms. It is formed as a result of sharing electrons between non-metal atoms involved.
  • When atoms involved contribute equal number of electrons to the bond formation, the type of bond is known as covalent bond
  • A covalent bond may be a dative covalent bond, when the shared electrons come from one atom.
<h3>Ionic bond  </h3>
  • This is a type of bond that occurs between metal ions and non-metal ions. Ionic bond occurs as a result of transfer of electrons from one metal atom to another non-metal atom.
  • After the transfer of electrons, metal atom loses electron to form a cation while the non-metal atom gains electrons to form an anion.
<h3>Other types of chemical bonds include;</h3>
  • Hydrogen bonds
  • Metallic bonds
  • Dipole-dipole interactions, etc.

A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag+(aq), and one half-cell that contains Cu(s) and Cu2+(aq). W
Agata [3.3K]

Answer : The 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Explanation :

Galvanic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the voltaic cell or electrochemical cell.

In the galvanic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

We are taking the value of standard reduction potential form the standard table.

E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=+0.80V

E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V

In this cell, the component that has lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that is added to the anode electrode. The second forms the cathode electrode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (Anode) : Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (Cathode) : Ag^{+}(aq)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s)

Thus the overall reaction will be,

Cu(s)+2Ag^{+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)

From this we conclude that, 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Hence, the 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.
