Which of the following best describes the difference in bonding between two hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms?

Chemistry

valentinak56 [21]3 years ago

Answer :

2. Hydrogen forms bonds through the overlap of 1s atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between atoms. Carbon forms bonds through the overlapping of sp hybrid atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between carbon atoms.

Explanation:

The H-H bond is formed by the overlap of two 1s orbitals and the sharing of electrons between the two atoms.

A carbon atom must use the overlap of hybridized atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons to bond with another carbon atoms.

1. is <em>wrong</em> because H can use only its <em>1s orbital</em> for bonding.

3. is <em>wrong</em> because C must <em>share electrons</em> to form a carbon-carbon bond.

4. is <em>wrong</em> because <em>C does NOT use overlapping of 2s orbitals</em> for bonding. It uses the overlap of hybridized orbitals.

5. is <em>wrong</em> because H must <em>share electrons</em> to form an H-H bond.

If the density of water is 1g/cm3 what is its specific gravity
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Specific gravity is the density of asubstance divided by the density of water. Since (at standard temperature and pressure) water has a density of 1 gram/cm3, and since all of the units cancel, specific gravity is usually very close to the same value as density(but without any units).

A double replacement reaction occurs when aqueous potassium iodide and aqueous mercury (I) nitrate are mixed. What is the correc
pashok25 [27]
The answer should be 2KI(aq)+Hg(NO3)2(aq) = 2KNO3(aq) + HgI2(s). This is a double replacement reaction, the valence of elements will not change. The HgI2 is not soluble in water.

Consider the diagram. Which postulate of the kinetic-molecular theory best describes the event in the diagram?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer : Option B) All collisions between particles are perfectly elastic.

Explanation : Gases consits of molecules which are compressible because the gas particles which have a small volume compared to the container.

The collisions are perfectly elastic because when gases are left alone in a container they don't seem to lose energy and do not spontaneously get converted into a liquid, also energy is not lost during collisions.

In the diagram given above one can interpret that the gaseous molecules are in random motion inside the container and when they collide with other molecule of gas they do not lose energy. Therefore, this shows perfectly elastic collisions.

i need to know like now. what is a pure substance that contains atoms of more than one element called?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

A compound

Explanation:

A compound is a pure substance that contains atoms of more than one element.

For example, water is a compound.  

It is pure because it consists only of water molecules, and each molecule contains atoms of the elements hydrogen and oxygen.

Given that oxygen-16 and oxygen-18 both have an atomic number of 8, how many electrons, protons, and neutrons do these oxygen at
Mamont248 [21]
Because atomic number equals protons and electrons
8-electrons
8-protons
Protons+neutrons=mass
8+8=16 and 8+10=18
8-Neutrons for 16
10- Neutrons for 18
