Answer
:
2. Hydrogen forms bonds through the overlap of 1s atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between atoms. Carbon forms bonds through the overlapping of sp hybrid atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between carbon atoms.
Explanation:
The H-H bond is formed by the overlap of two 1s orbitals and the sharing of electrons between the two atoms.
A carbon atom must use the overlap of hybridized atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons to bond with another carbon atoms.
1. is <em>wrong</em> because H can use only its <em>1s orbital</em> for bonding.
3. is <em>wrong</em> because C must <em>share electrons</em> to form a carbon-carbon bond.
4. is <em>wrong</em> because <em>C does NOT use overlapping of 2s orbitals</em> for bonding. It uses the overlap of hybridized orbitals.
5. is <em>wrong</em> because H must <em>share electrons</em> to form an H-H bond.
Answer:
It might cause fire or extreme smoke.
Explanation:
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound .
the molecular formula for the compounds given are as follows
ethyne - C₂H₂
ethene - C₂H₄
ethane - C₂H₆
methane - CH₄
the actual ratios of the elements simplified ratio
C : H C : H
ethyne 2:2 1:1
ethene 2:4 1:2
ethane 2:6 1:3
methane 1:4 1:4
the only compound where the actual ratio is equal to the simplified ratio is methane
therefore in methane molecular formula CH₄ is the same as empirical formula CH₄
