Answer: 7σ +3π

Explanation:

Cumulene has its formular to be C4H4. Structurally it is composed of 4 carbon to Hydrogen single bonds and 3 double bonds.

It is worthy of note that in the field of chemistry:

A double bond is made up of 1σ bond and 1π bond.

A single bond is made up of 1σ bond.

Therefore the structure of Cumulene contains:

4 single bonds = 4σ

3 double bonds = 3 (σ + π )

4σ + 3σ +3π = 7σ +3π

A hydrocarbon with three or more consecutive (cumulative) double bonds is known as a cumulene. They are analogous to allenes, only exhibiting a more elongated chain. The basic molecule in this category is butatriene, which is also simply known as cumulene.

In the structure of a cumulene, there are 3 double bonds and 4 single bonds. The double bond comprises 1 sigma bond, and 1 pi bond and 4 hydrogen bond produces a sigma bond with carbon. Thus, the molecule of cumulene comprises 7 sigma bonds and 3 pi bonds.

How many atoms will there be in 5.00 g of gold. (Use ^ to show the exponent in scientific notation. For example, 4 X 1011 should

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

1.53x10^22 atoms of Au

Explanation:

To find the atoms of gold we need first, to convert the mass of gold to moles using molar mass of gold (196.97g/mol). Then, these moles must be converted to number of atoms based on definition of moles (1 mole = 6.022x10²³ atoms).

<em>Moles Au:</em>

5.00g Au * (1mol / 196.97g) = 0.0254 moles of Au

<em>Atoms of Au:</em>

0.0254 moles * (6.022x10²³ atoms / 1 mole) =

<h3>1.53x10^22 atoms of Au</h3>

The equation for the chemical reaction shown below is not balanced. What number should replace the question mark to balance this

malfutka [58]

B. the number 3.
there are 2Al's on both sides and 6 Cl's on the right side so to balance it, you multiply Cl2 by 3 to get 6 Cl's.

What did J. J. Thomson observe when he applied electric voltage to a cathode ray tube in his famous experiment?

Nataly_w [17]

The glass opposite to the negative electrode started to glow. Hence, option B is correct.

<h3>What is a cathode ray tube?</h3>

A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a specialized vacuum tube in which images are produced when an electron beam strikes a phosphorescent surface.

J.J. Thomson, through his famous Cathode ray experiment, proved that all atoms contain small negatively charged particles known as electrons. In the experiment, he applied electric voltage across a cathode ray tube. a fluorescent material coating was done on the positive side. When the voltage was applied, the positive side has glowing dots.

Hence, option B is correct.

What is the name of this hydrocarbon? 2-dimethylyne 2-methylbutane 4-methylbutene 4,3-methylbutyne 4,4-methylbutane

Alisiya [41]

You have shown no structure, still we can work out for the answer :).

First Option: <span>2-dimethylyne: This name is incorrect, because it does not contain any parent chain name.

Second Option: </span><span>2-methylbutane: I have drawn its structure below, compare it with your structure.

Third Option: </span>4-methylbutene:<span> I have drawn the structure for this name. But this name is also against IUPAC rules, and its correct name is 1-Pentene.

Fourth Option: </span><span>4,3-methylbutyne: Again incorrect name, 4,3 are two positions, but here only one substituent is given (methyl). I have drawn structure of 3,4-Dimethylbutene, this name is incorrect, and the correct name for this compound is 3-Methyl-1-pentene.

Fifth Option: </span><span>4,4-methylbutane: Again incorrect name, 4,4 means at 4 position two substituents, but in name only methyl is given. Anyhow lets make it two and draw a structure, for 4,4-Dimethylbutane. Ooops!! This name is also incorrect, and the correct name for this compound is 2-Methylpentane.

Result:
Among all options only, option B (2-Methylbutane) is correctly named, and this will be the correct name for the structure given to you. </span>
