Why do some elements form double and triple bonds during bonding

Chemistry
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Elements need a total of eight electrons to gain stability and look like a noble gas. So, they sometimes need sharing of two, four or even six electrons to complete their octate. So, they form double and triple covalent bonds. One more  the reason is the  interaction between the p orbitals of the combining atoms. for example  A double bond, as in ethene H2C=CH2, arises from one combination of the s orbitals and one combination of the p_y orbitals.

1. The newspaper solution that would work best with inks is alcohol since alcohol can dissolve inks.
2. Water can be used to carry salts since salts are soluble in water.
3. Oils can be used to carry fatty acids since they're both hydrophobic substances.<span />

A Mercury(II) chloride dissolves in water to give poorly conducting solutions, indicating that the compound is largely nonionize
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Using valence bond theory, HgCl2 is sp hybridized while PCl3 is sp3 hybridized.

Explanation:

sp hybridized molecules are largely covalent and cannot conduct electricity hence the nonconducting nature of HgCl2. PCl3 contains a lone pair and three unpaired electrons in sp3 hybridized orbitals.

1. How would the world be like if the element named Boron did not exist? 2. How would our lives be if the element Boron did not
Flauer [41]
1. The world without boron would be like a "turtle hiding inside it's shell" Almost everything that we need biologically would not be supplied. There would be plant disorder because of lack of boron that is needed for plants growth. And it would be widespread around the world and causes large of scarcity of food production resulting to chain of reaction to other factors that is part of our daily lives. We are not that high-tech as now and the transition of technology would not be as what we would be expecting in the years to come. We may obtain some of it naturally but it would not be enough later on as the population keeps on growing.

2. Life is still life because we still have other resources we need but it would be quite different as Boron plays a vital role since the earth's formation. As it has many uses in the beginning of civilization as we relies on borates for almost everything. Probably, widespread of plant disorder, poor production of food, rampant of sickness may happen, increasing of pestilence that some of the key ingredient of household products relies on it.
