Draw the Lewis structure for methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) in the box below. Then predict which would have the higher boiling

point. Finally, explain how you came to that conclusion.

Answer:

Ethane would have a higher boiling point.

Explanation:

In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have <u>4 valence electrons</u>, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.

Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an <u>additional carbon</u>. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have <u>more area of interaction</u> for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give <u>more energy</u> to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.

I hope it helps!

What types of elements- metals,
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Noble gases

Explanation:

The noble gases are non-metals that requires the highest amount of energy to remove an electron from their shells.

The reason for this difficult is that their electronic configuration confers a stable configuration them.

  • The ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electrons in an atom.
  • Due to the special stability of noble gases, it is very difficult to remove electrons from an atom of noble gases.

Carbon is not combustible because when it combines with oxygen its energy increases thus it doesnt combust.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

4 1/2

Explanation:

Use a ratio to find your answer

 4          6

-----  =  -------

 3           x

Cross multiply to solve for x.

4x = 18

x = 18/4

x = 4 2/4  which is the same as 4 1/2
