Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of $C_3H_4$ is shown below.

The number of sigma and pi-bonds are 6 and 2 respectively.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $C_3H_4$

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $C_3H_4$ = 3(4) + 4(1) = 16

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 16 number of bonding electrons and 0 number of non-bonding electrons.

The number of sigma and pi-bonds are 6 and 2 respectively.

Arisa [49]

Alkaline earth metals are metals of group two. They are divalent metals and they have a highly negative reduction potential hence the metals are mostly extracted by electrolysis.

They are highly reactive metals. They react with water but do so less readily than alkali earth metals.

Owing to their high reactivity, they are seldom found free in nature. They always occur in combined state with other highly reactive nonmetals.

A chemist measures the energy change ?H during the following reaction:

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

(A) endothermic

(A) Yes, absorbed

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 Fe₂O₃(s) ⇒ 4 FeO(s) + O₂(g) ΔH = 560 kJ

Since ΔH > 0, the reaction is endothermic.

We can establish the following relations:

560 kJ are absorbed when 2 moles of Fe₂O₃ react.
The molar mass of Fe₂O₃ is 160 g/mol.

Suppose 66.6 g of Fe₂O₃ react. The heat absorbed is:

$66.6g.\frac{1mol}{160g} .\frac{560kJ}{2mol} =117kJ$

Which factors affect a river's load?

Marizza181 [45]

To answer the question that is: "which factors affect a river's load", we have to understand that all the things mentioned are important. All these options (river's slope, streambed shape and volume of flow) affect the amount of energy that the river has to spend and the way the river spend that energy, so, it is right to mark the alternative <span>d) all of the above.</span>

Explain how thermal energy is transferred in convection.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Convection occurs when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy. Heat energy is transferred from hot places to cooler places by convection. Liquids and gases expand when they are heated. ... As a result, the particles take up more volume.
