Answer:

Option d.

Explanation:

Ketones contain a carbonyl groups as a functional group, which is a carbon bonded to oxygen with a double bond. In a ketone, the carbon is always bonded to two carbon atoms:

R-C(=O)-R'

The carbon in the carbonyl group has a hybridization sp2 (3 hybrid orbitals with an unhybridized p orbital), where two of the orbitals form sigma (σ) bonds with the other two carbons (R-C-R') and the other hybrid orbital form a sigma bond with the oxygen (C-O). The unhybridized p orbital on the carbon atom is used to form a pi (π) bond with the oxygen, thus forming the double bond (C=O).

The bond of a carbonyl group is polar, because of the difference of the electronegativity between the carbon atom and the oxygen atom.

Hence, from all of the above we can discard the option a, (the carbonyl groups exhibits sp2 hybridization), the option b (carbon-oxygen bond is a bond polar) and the option c (the group must always be in the middle of a carbon chain, the groups that are always in the end, are a aldehyde groups).

Therefore, the correct option is d, the functional group of this type of compound must always be in the middle of a carbon chain.

I hope it helps you!

Georgia [21]

Answer:The sun

Explanation:

Coal and crude oil are made from the remains of plants and animals that died long ago. The primary energy source in an ecosystem is the sun. Plants take in energy from the sun to produce high energy molecules which are transferred along the food chain to animals. When these plants and animals die, the high energy molecules are now stored in fossil fuels. Recall that the molecules were formed using energy from the sun, therefore, the sun is the energy source from which the high energy molecules contained in fossil fuels are obtained.

Use the drop-down menus to complete each statement.

aleksley [76]

Explanation:

1. Have many moons:

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the biggest in the Solar System and it has fifty-three moons which are confirmed and twenty-six provisional moons and totally it has seventy-nine moons and it is the only planet which has many moons.

2. Have a rocky composition:

The planets which have rocky composition are also called the terrestrial planets.
The planets which have rocky composition are listed below mercury, venus, earth, and mars and they are smaller in size.

3. Revolve quickly around the Sun:

Mercury is the quickest planet, which rushes around the sun at 47.87 km/s. And it revolves around the sun quickly.

4. Rotate quickly on their axes:

The giant gas planets like Jupiter, Saturn, etc... spin more quickly on their axes than the other planets

• Draw lewis dot structures for an atom of each of following elements:

marin [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lewis dot structures represent the symbol of an atom we're looking at and the number of valence electrons it has. This number is represented by the sum of dots around the symbol.

Potassium is in group 1A, this means it only has one valence electron, so we draw K with one dot in its Lewis diagram;
Argon is in group 8A, this means it has eight valence electrons, so we draw Ar with 8 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
Silicon is in group 4A, this means it has four valence electrons, so we draw Si with 4 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
Arsenic is in group 5A, this means it has five valence electrons, so we draw As with 5 dots around it in its Lewis diagram.

Those are represented in the image attached below:
