Answer:

The decreasing order of bond length in the carbon - carbon bonds will be:

C-C>C=C>C\equiv C

Explanation:

Bond length is defined as average distance between two nuclei of  bonded atoms in a molecule.Bond length is inversely  proportional to the number of bonds present between two atoms.

\text{Bond length} \propto \frac{1}{\text{Number of bonds}}...[1]

Bond energy is defied as amount of energy required to break apart the bond of 1 mole of molecule into their individual atom. Bond energy is directly proportional to the number of bonds present between two atoms.

\text{Bond Energy} \propto \text{Number of bonds}..[2]

From [1] and [2]:

\text{Bond length} \propto \frac{1}{\text{Bond energy}}

C-C: sp_3 hybridized

C=C: sp_2 hybridized

C\equiv C: sp hybridized

Extent of overlapping of orbitals in these hybridization;

C\equiv C> C=C > C-C

Higher the overlapping of orbital more closer will be both atoms to each other and shorter will be the bond lenght.

So, the decreasing order of bond length in the carbon - carbon bonds will be:

C-C>C=C>C\equiv C

Which graphic below shows the correct orientation of each water molecule when it is near the cl- ion in the aqueous solution?
andrew-mc [135]
The question is missing the graphics required to answer which I have attached as an image.

There are four different representations of the orientation of water molecules around chloride anion. Let's first analyze the water molecule.

We have H-O-H as the structure of water. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, which results in a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.

The chloride anion is a negative charge. Therefore, the water molecules should orient themselves with the hydrogen atoms facing the chlorine atom as the partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms will be attracted to the negative charge of the chlorine atom.

The correct representation is shown in graph 3 which shows all hydrogen atoms facing the chlorine anion.

instrucions classify the following reactions as synthesis, decomposition,single replacement, double replacement, or combustion.
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

There are no specific equations but here what i can give you:

1. Synthesis -- A synthesis reaction is a chemical change in which two or more substances react to form a single new substance.

In all synthesis reactions, there is a single product that is a compound!

2. Decomposition -- A decomposition reaction is a chemical change in which a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. (This is the opposite of synthesis reactions!)

Most decomposition reactions require energy in the form of heat, light, and electricity.

3. Single Replacement -- A single-replacement reaction is a chemical change in which one element replaces a second element in a compound. You can identify a single-replacement reaction by noting that both the reactants and the products consist of an element and a compound.

4. Double Replacement -- A double-replacement reaction is a chemical change involving an exchange of positive ions between two compounds.

For a double replacement reactions to occur, one of the following is usually true:

- One of the products is only slightly soluble and precipitates from solutions.

- One of the products is a gas.

- One product is a molecular compound such as water.

5. Combustion -- A combustion reactions is a chemical change in which an element or a compound reacts with oxygen, often producing energy in the form of heat or light.

A combustion reactant always involves oxygen as a reactant. (If the supply of oxygen is limited, then the combustion will not be complete.)

The other reactant is a hydrocarbon, which is a compound composed of hydrogen and carbon and the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon produces CO2 and H2O.

Hydrocarbons include methane, propane, and butane.

I really hope this helps you!

Which of the following would be considered important in including in the summary of an experimental investigation?
just olya [345]

Answer is: variables that were manipulated during the experiment.

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.

Dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

Dependent variables depend on the values of independent variables. The dependent variables represent the output or outcome whose variation is being studied.

Laboratory room number is the least important.

How many electrons can the 5th shell hold? 8 18 24 32 50
krok68 [10]

Each shell contains a fixed number of electrons. The general formula of the number of electrons can be hold in n-th shell is 2n². 5th shell can hold 2x5² = 50  number of electrons.

1st shell contains 2 X 1²= 2 number of electrons, 2nd shell contains 2 X 2²=8 number of electrons, 3rd shell contains 2 X 3²=18 number of electrons, 4th shell contains 2 X 4²=32 number of electrons,  5th shell contains 2 X 5²=50 number of electrons and so on.
