Answer:

C) They all have single covalent bonds.

Explanation:

The given hydrocarbons Butane,Ethane,Methane,Propane belongs to alkane group.

In alkane group consists of hydrogen and carbon in which carbon_carbon bonds are single and carbon_hydrogen bond is also single.

The elements of this group makes bond by sharing of electrons that means they form single covalent bond.

Butane have 4 , Ethane has 2, Methane has 1, and Propane has 3 carbon atoms.

Since they have different number of carbon atoms so their structural formula also differs.

Calculate how many atoms are in 98.6 g Carbon (C)?
Goryan [66]
Number of atoms are calculated using a number known as "Avogadro's number."
Okay, lets see a breakdown of this. Let's say that you are given an amount of grams of a substance. For this case, lets say that that substance is Carbon (C). And, lets assume that you are given 4.01 g of Carbon, and you are tasked to find the number of atoms in that mass of Carbon. The breakdown would be as follows, with dimensional anaysis:
4.01

Basically, I first wrote down the amount in grams, and I used the molar mass of Carbon (which can be found on the periodic table under Carbon) 12.01 g/mol to convert 4.01 g of Carbon to moles of Carbon. Then, I used "Avogadro's Number", or
6.022
⋅

23
atoms per mole
to convert the mole amount to atoms of Carbon.
The process should be very similar with other such atoms, just make sure to keep your periodic table and calculator handy.
I hope that helps!

In each of the following sets of elements, which element would be expected to have the smallest atomic size?
yan [13]

Answer:

d) C,O,F

Explanation:

because if you add up the atomic no.s  (which is directly the size of the element)of each set d) is smallest.

In order to change a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas, what is needed?
AfilCa [17]
Latent heat, also called the heat of vaporization, is the amount of energy necessary to change a liquid to a vapour at constant temperature and pressure. The energy required to melt a solid to a liquid is called the heat of fusion
