Bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. The compound cyanogen (CN)2 has covalent bonds shown in this diagram.
A nucleoside has no natural group and is not a part of a nucleic acid.
Answer:
- <u>C₂H₄</u> (option number 4)
Explanation:
A hydrocarbon with a <em>double bond</em> in its carbon skeleton is an alkene and has the general form:
-
.
This is, the number of hydrogen atoms is twice the number of carbon atoms.
On the other hand, alkanes have only single bonds, and the compounds with a triple bond in its carbon skeleton are alkynes.
Review each choice:
1) <u>C₃H₈:</u>
- In this case, the number of hydrogen atoms is 2×3 + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8, which is corresponds to an alkane, not an alkene.
2)<u> C₂H₆</u>
- For this, the number of hydrogen atoms is 2 × 2 + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6. Again an alkane, not alkene.
3) <u>CH₄</u>
- Hydrogen atoms: 1 × 2 + 2 = 4 ⇒ an alkane
4) <u>C₂H₄ </u>
- Hydrogen atoms: 2 × 2 = 4. This is precisely the relation for an alkene, so this is the hydrocarbon that has a double bond in its carbon skeleton.
- The chemical formula may be writen as CH₂ = CH₂, to show the double bond.
So, this is the correct answer.
5) <u>C₂H₂</u>
- Hydrogen atoms: 2 × 2 - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2. This relation of carbon and hydrogen atoms corresponds to a compound with triple bond, i.e an alkyne: CH≡CH.
Answer: 2. Bonds and bond energies of the molecule
Explanation:
The absorption spectrum is an electromagnetic spectrum which is used for observing the intensity of the radiations which have been absorbed by the substances shown by the pattern of dark lines or bands. Infrared and microwave spectroscopy are specialized techniques which are used for observing the bonds and bond energy of the molecules which can be observed by measuring the frequencies at which the radiations are absorbed.
If you mean what group of elements react the most, the answer is the alkali metals and the halogens because they both only either need to gain or lose one electron. If you mean the most reactive element, it would be fluorine because it has the most electronegativity.
