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.

1. Describe a procedure to separate a mixture of salt, sand, and water.
Brilliant_brown [7]
1.  A filter was used to separate the sand from the salt water solution (The process of decanting was used if a filer was not available).
2.  A Bunsen burner was used to boil away the water from the salt water solution leaving only salt.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
