Carbon has four valence electrons. These electrons are associated for a specific atom and is responsible for forming a bond to different atoms. For carbon, in order to agree with the octet rule, it should have 4 more electrons. For an oxygen atom, there are 6 valence electrons present so it would need two more electrons. Thus, carbon atoms would share electrons with another two oxygen atoms wherein each oxygen atom would form double bonds with the carbon atom. So, the characteristics of these bonds would be that all of the four valence electrons of the carbon are being shared.
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above would be the fourth option. It would be P4O10 would be the purely molecular compound. A molecular compound<span> can be defined as a</span>compound<span> where the atoms share electrons through covalent bonds. Hope this helps.</span>
Answer:
The empirical formula of this question is :
C.
Explanation:
The empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of elements in the chemical formula of the molecule.
It is calculated using:
n = The common factor
The Molecular formula represents the exact composition of the elements in the compound.
For example :
Molecular formula : C4H8O2
<em>Find the common factor n ?</em>
<em>here , 2 is common factor(which is divisible by 4 ,8,2)</em>
divide each element by 2
generally 1 is not written
C2H4O is the empirical formula
In this question , the molecular formula C40H56
n = common factor = 8(It is divisible by 40 , 56 )
So, correct option is<u> C</u>
Answer:
B
Explanation:
because polarity of the water molecules is due to the B. deflection of the hydrogen atoms by the lone pair of electrons.
Answer:
5
Explanation:
Density = mass divided by volume
15 divided by 3 is 5
