Which is the correct lewis structure for ethylene, c2h4?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex3 years ago
3 0
Remember this, when trying to find a valid lewis structure, every single atom must have a total of 8 shared electrons (full octet). Since I only have 4 hydrogens to work with, two on each carbon, I assumed a double bond in the middle. This way, every atom has a full octet, except for hydrogen which is most stable with just two electrons. If there were just a single bond in between the carbons, each carbon would only have a total of 6 shared electrons which violates the octet rule. So a double bond is a must. This is ethylene by the way.

Li Ming thinks that chlorophyll is a reactant of photosynthesis, but her classmate Julian disagrees. Who is correct, and why?
Eddi Din [679]

Julian is correct because chlorophyll is neither used up nor formed in the chemical reaction of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Julian is correct because chlorophyll is neither used up nor formed in the chemical reaction of photosynthesis. The reactants in photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

  • Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants manufacture their food in the presence of sunlight.
  • In photosynthesis carbon dioxide combines with water to produce glucose and oxygen.
  • Chlorophyll in plant is a green pigment that is used to trap sunlight during photosynthesis.

Heat is being transferred from the ground to the air above it by conduction. Explain how this is possible.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Conduction directly affects air temperature only a few centimeters into the atmosphere. During the day, sunlight heats the ground, which in turn heats the air directly above it via conduction. At night, the ground cools and the heat flows from the warmer air directly above to the cooler ground via conduction.
