When two carbon atoms are covalently bonded together, they try to achieve an octet structure so their electrons are 4 in number while each of them donates their remaining 2 so they end up sharing 4.

A stable atom would need 8 valence electrons, so since its sharing, lets subtract. 

8 - 6 = 2

It needs only 2 valence electrons.

Draw the structure of an alkane or cycloalkane that has more than three but fewer than ten carbon atoms, and only primary hydrog
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The structures are shown in the figure.

Explanation:

The primary hydrogens are those which are attached to primary carbon.

Primary carbons are the carbons which are attached to only one carbon.

Primary carbons is bonded to three hydrogens.

In order to draw such structure we will draw structures which will have carbon with three hydrogens or no hydrogens (quaternary)

The structures are shown in the figure with clear marking.

Here X is the symbol of the element

A is the mass number of element

A=n+p(sum of protons and neutrons)

Z is the atomic number.

For example, 12C6

Hers X is C, symbol of carbon

En un recipiente colocamos unos cubos de hielo luego tapamos y observamos que sucede despues de un tiempo
SSSSS [86.1K]

Three questions come along with the given statement. It is in Spanish language:



a) Por qué se humedeció la parte exterior del frasco?


b) Por qué el hielo disminuyó su volumen y ahora es agua?


c) Por qué puede haber agua en el exterior?



These are the three answers (in English).



First question:



a) Por qué se humedeció la parte exterior del frasco?



The question is Why did the outside of the bottle get wet?



Answer:



The outside of the bottle get wet because the ice cubes cooled the walls of the bottle, so the air surrounding the bottle also cooled.



The air contains humidity (water) in gas phase. The hotter the air the more the amount of humidity it can retain, the cooler the air the less the amount of humidity it can retain.


Then, when the air close to the walls of the bootle got cooler some of the water in the air became liquid and those are the drops of water that you see in the outside of the bottle.



Second question



b) Por qué el hielo disminuyó su volumen y ahora es agua?



The question is Why did the ice diminish its volume and now it is water?



Answer:




The ice diminished its volume and now it is water, becasue the ice, which is cooler than the surroundings, received heat energy (from the surroundings) and then its temperature increased. At some moment, this temperature reached the melting point of the ice (water) and it started to become liquid.



Third question



c) Por qué puede haber agua en el exterior?



The question is: Why can there be water outside?




Answer:



The water outside is outside since the beginning: it is in the air. You do not see it because it is gas state. When the air close to the walss of the bottle got cooler, part of the water in the air became liquid.
