Answer:
They have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain than alkanes
Explanation:
Let's compare ethane (an alkane) with ethene (an alkene) and ethyne (an alkyne):
- Ethane's formula is C₂H₄, while ethene's is C₂H₄ and ethyne's C₂H₂.
As you can see, alkenes and alkynes have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain due to them having multiple bonds between the carbon atoms.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Iron has the ground state electronic configuration [Ar]3d64s2
Fe2+ has the electronic configuration [Ar]3d6.
In an octahedral crystal field, there are two sets of degenerate orbitals; the lower lying three t2g orbitals, and the higher level two degenerate eg orbitals. Strong field ligands cause high octahedral crystal field splitting, there by separating the two sets of degenerate orbitals by a tremendous amount of energy. This energy is much greater than the pairing energy required to pair the six electrons in three degenerate orbitals. Since CN- is a strong field ligand, it leads to pairing of six electrons in three degenerate orbitals
