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

Chemistry
1 answer:
valentinak56 [21]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Why is identifying unknown compounds important to chemistry?
Galina-37 [17]
Determining the identity of substances is a critical part of chemistry because once the substance's identity is known, we can predict its behavior and understand the scenarios that it is involved in better.
For example, consider an industrial pipe where fouling (scaling) is occurring. If the compounds present in the scales are identified, steps may be taken to prevent and remove the scaling. This is one of many examples where identifying chemical substances is of high importance.

A compound was found to be soluble in water. It was also found that addition of acid to an aqueous solution of this compound res
gogolik [260]

Answer:

c. Cr

Explanation:

Cr^3+(aq) + CO_3^2-(aq) ------------> Cr_2CO_3(s)

The compound is containing CO_3^2- ion.

If acid reacts with it, CO_2 evolves.

H^+ + CO_3^2- ----------> H_2O + CO_2

therefore,  Cr would form a precipitate when added to an aqueous solution of this compound. Cr2CO3 is the precipitate.
