B) Ethane has the formula C2H6. In terms of electronic structure,

k0ka [10]

Answer:

There is one single covalent bond between two carbon atoms.

Explanation:

We know that sharing of electrons form covalent bonds.

If we look upon K,L,M ,N shells of the carbon and hydrogen atoms.

We found that Hydrogen is having only $1$ electron in K shell.

And Carbon on the other hand is having $2$ electrons in K shell and $4$ electrons in L shell.

So carbon have $4$ valence electrons,and it can share $4$ bonds with any relevant atom to complete its octet.

And Hydrogen requires $1$ electron to complete its doublet.

Alkane general formula $C_{n}H_{2n+2}$

For ethane $n=2$

$C_{2}H_{4+2}$ $=$ $C_{2}H_{6}$

$1$ Carbon atom is shared by $3$ Hydrogen.

The remaining one electron $(4-3)=1$ of carbon will be shared with another carbon atom.

An image of the sharing of electrons attached below,

Hence we have only $1$ covalent bond between the two.

What is the oxidation number of cl− in the hypochlorite ion clo−?

mariarad [96]

Answer : The oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given compound is, $ClO^-$

Let the oxidation state of 'Cl' be, 'x'

$x+(-2)=-1\\\\x-2=-1\\\\x=+1$

Therefore, the oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

Medical implants and high-quality jewelry items for body piercing are frequently known by a trade name, G23Ti, which means "surg

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Ti6Al4V1 or Ti6Al4V

Explanation:

So, from the question above we are given the following Important data or parameters or information which is going to help us in solving this question and they are;

The "surgical-grade" titanium is made up of 64.3% titanium, 24.19% aluminum and 11.42% vanadium.

This is a stoichiometry Question so in order to be able to solve this question one must have the basic knowledge of stoichiometry, it is advisable that one revise it.

So, let us delve right into the solution of this question. Recall that, the formula for Calculating the number of moles = mass/molar mass.

Hence, the number of moles of titanium,Ti = 64.3/47.87 = 3 moles.

Also, the number of moles of aluminum = 24.19/26.98 = 0.8966

For vanadium; 11.42/51 = 0.22

The next step is to divide each number of moles component by the lowest number of mole, that is;

Ti = 1.34/ 0.22 = 6; Al = 0.8966/0.22= 4 and V = 0.22/0.22 = 1.

Thus, the emperical formula is = Ti6Al4V.
