I would say the answer is C. The number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.

Answer is: C) the fact that the number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.

Carbon(IV) oxide is nonpolar because CO₂ is linear molecule and the oxygen atoms are symmetrical (bond angles 180°).

Water is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule.

Oxygen atom in water molecule has sp3 hybridization. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°.

Oxygen atom has atomic number 8, it means it has eight protons and eight electrons, so atom has neutral charge. Oxygen is a nonmetal.

Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Oxygen atom has six valence electrons , two lone pairs and two electrons that form two sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.

Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6, which means it has 6 protons and six electrons. Four valence electrons are in 2s and 2p orbitals.  

Electron configuration of carbon atom: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².  

In carbon dioxide, carban has sp hybridization with no lone pairs.

Pure acetic acid (hc2h3o2) is a liquid and is known as glacial acetic acid. calculate the molarity of a solution prepared by dis
Alexandra [31]
In order to find the molarity of the solution, we first require the moles of acetic acid added. For this,we need the mass which is:

Mass = volume * density

Mass = 50 * 1.05
Mass = 52.5 grams


Moles = mass / molecular weight

Moles = 52.5 / 60.05 
Moles = 0.874 mol

Next, we know that the molarity of a solution is:

Molarity = moles / liter
Molarity = 0.874 / 0.5

Molarity = 1.75 M

1-Bromopropane is treated with each of the following reagents. Draw the major substitution product if the reaction proceeds in g
sammy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

If we look at the structure of 1-Bromopropane; we will see that it is a derivative of alkane family by the the substitution of an alkyl group. The position of the Bromine in the propane is 1, making 1-Bromopropane  a primary alkyl-halide.

Primary alkyl - halide undergo SN2 mechanism. This nucleophilic reaction needs to be a strong alkyl halide , such as 1-Bromopropane used  otherwise it will result to a reactive mechanism if a weak electrophile is used.

However, the critical and the main objective here is to Draw the major substitution product if the reaction proceeds in good yield. If no reaction is expected or yields will be poor, draw the starting material in the box. If a charged product is formed, be sure to draw the counterion.

The attached diagrams portraying this notions is shown in the attached file below.

Carbon dioxide is a carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, therefore CO2

For the others, they are hydrocarbons.
The first part of the name is determined by how many carbon atoms there are. The second part, is by the type. Alcohol, Alkane, Alkene, alkynes, acid, esters, amides.
