Chemistry

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 <u>we can discard the option a</u>, (the carbonyl groups exhibits sp2 hybridization), <u>the option b</u> (carbon-oxygen bond is a bond polar) and <u>the option c</u> (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!

How are these 3 types of rocks related/ similar?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The rock cycle

Explanation:

The three types of rocks are related and connected through the rock cycle. Rocks are not formed independently of one another, the process of their formation are interconnected.

 Igneous rocks are made from cooling and solidification of magma. These magma are derived from the melting of rocks that have been subjected to high temperature and pressure.

 When igneous rocks are formed, they can follow two path ways. They either get transformed to sedimentary rocks or metamorphic rocks.

When igneous rocks are subjected to metamorphic conditions, their mineralogy is altered to form metamorphic rocks.

If igneous rocks gets weathered and broken down by agents of denudation, they end up getting transformed into sedimentary rocks.

Why are there more fossils of marine organism than of land organisms o dc
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Three primary reasons. First, there is simply more water-covered places than dry ground places for the animals and plants to have lived. Second, the seas are much more crowded with the kinds of life that leave fossils than the land is. Third, the process that form fossils work very well under water.

What happens when nitrogen fills its valence shell?
Sauron [17]
The right answer is D. three electrons are gained, creating N-3

Nitrogen has 5 electrons in it's valence shell and octet rule states that the valence shell must have 8 electrons. To satisfy that, Nitrogen gains 3 electrons that are negatively charged.Therefore, it gets a negative charge.
