Carbon has four valence electrons. true false

Chemistry
1 answer:
8090 [49]3 years ago
3 0
The answer is true. One neutral atom of carbon has four valence electrons.
 
An easy way of finding out is to check out the periodic table and look at which main number group the element is in. Carbon is in group number four, which would mean it has four valence electrons.

Hope I was able to help!

Is the bond formed between each pair of atoms pure covalent (a.k.a. nonpolar covalent), polar covalent, or ionic?
swat32

Answer:

So, look up for electronegativity table

There's a continuum for deciding whether the bond is non-polar, polar, or ionic

If electronegativity difference is less than 0.4 it's non-polar

What is the Ea for the exothermic reaction A)332.6 kJ B)-85.1 kJ C)251.0 kJ D) -251.0 kJ
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Option C. 251 kJ

Explanation:

The activation energy (Ea) of a given reaction is the minimum energy that must be overcomed for reactant to proceed to product.

The activation energy (Ea) can be obtained from an energy profile diagram by simply calculating the difference between the energy of the activation complex (i.e the peak) and the energy of the reactant.

Thus, we can obtain the activation energy for the reaction above as follow:

Activation complex = 332.6 kJ

Energy of reactant = 81.6 kJ

Activation energy =?

Activation energy = Activation complex – Energy of reactant

Activation energy = 332.6 – 81.6

Activation energy = 251 kJ

Therefore, the activation energy of the reaction is 251 kJ

Why does your finger seem to move? How is this related to the parallax of stars?
sleet_krkn [62]
<span>he easiest way to see parallax is to hold out your finger vertically in front of a background object, a door or wall for example. Shut your right eye and note where on the background object the image of your finger appears. Now open your right eye and close the left one without moving your finger. The image of your finger should appear to have jumped to a different spot on the background wall. It is possible to tell how far away your finger is from your eyes just by measuring the distance between your eyes and the distance that the image appeared to move in degrees of arc. </span>

A water tank measures 24in.×48in.×12in. Find the capacity of the water tank in cubic feet. Do not include units in your answer.
LenKa [72]

<em>Answer:</em> 8 (feet)

<em>Explanation:</em>

24 inches = 2 feet

48 inches = 4 feet

12 inches = 1 foot

To find volume you do Base * Width * Height

2*4*1 = 8

A 5.024 mg sample of an unknown organic molecule containing carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen only was burned and yielded 13.90 mg
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

C8H17N

Explanation:

Mass of the unknown compound = 5.024 mg

Mass of CO2 = 13.90 mg

Mass of H2O = 6.048 mg

Next, we shall determine the mass of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen present in the compound. This is illustrated below:

For carbon, C:

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Mass of C = 12/44 x 13.90 = 3.791 mg

For hydrogen, H:

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H = 2/18 x 6.048 = 0.672 mg

For nitrogen, N:

Mass N = mass of unknown – (mass of C + mass of H)

Mass of N = 5.024 – (3.791 + 0.672)

Mass of N = 0.561 mg

Now, we can obtain the empirical formula for the compound as follow:

C = 3.791 mg

H = 0.672 mg

N = 0.561 mg

Divide each by their molar mass

C = 3.791 / 12 = 0.316

H = 0.672 / 1 = 0.672

N = 0.561 / 14 = 0.040

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.316 / 0.04 = 8

H = 0.672 / 0.04 = 17

N = 0.040 / 0.04 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula for the compound is C8H17N
