Answer:

C. 2-methylpropane

Explanation:

There are rules guiding the naming of hydrocarbons. Some of the rules are:

1.) The longest continuous chain is the parent chain:

The longest chain here is made up of 3-carbon atoms which is a propane compound

2.)The carbon atoms are numbered in the parent chain to indicate where branching or substitution takes place.

Here, it is in the second carbon atom in propane.

The branched group is methyl- which is a methane molecule that has lost a hydrogen atom.

This makes ths name of the compound to be:

2-methylpropane

The answer is B. Commensalism.

Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms in which only one of them has benefit, and the other one is not affected. In this example, the Great Burdock's plants spread their seeds using animals, so they benefit from this relationship. On the other hand, animals neither have benefits not are harmed from the relationship.

A carbon-carbon double bond has a greater bond energy than a carbon-carbon single bond. Because of the greater bond energy, a ca

Ronch [10]

Answer: Carbon-carbon double bond is stronger and shorter than the single bond.

Explanation:

It is given that carbon-carbon double bond has greater energy than the carbon-carbon single bond.

Bond energy is directly proportional to the bond strength, which means that the double bond will have greater strength than single bond and triple bond has the greatest strength of all the bonds.

$\text{Bond energy}\propto \text{Bond strength}$

Bond energy is inversely proportional to the bond length of the carbon-carbon bond. This means that more is the bond energy, shorter will be the bond and vice-versa.

$\text{Bond energy}\propto \frac{1}{\text{Bond Length}}$

Hence, carbon-carbon double bond is stronger and shorter than the single bond.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Satellite acts as a relay station for earth sources. A transmission station sends the information to the satellite, which in turn retransmits to the receiving stations. The original signal being transmitted from the earth station to the satellite is called uplink of 6 GHz The retransmitted signal from the satellite to the receiving station is called downlink of 4 GH frequency. The transponder is the transmitter-receiver combination in a transponder.
