Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

The under-water deep ocean currents that are generated due to the differences in the water density are generally termed as the thermohaline circulation. It is mainly controlled by the two factors namely the temperature and the salinity. The word 'thermohaline' is directly derived from the temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).

This thermohaline circulation is considered as the oceanic conveyor belt that allows the water to move under the surface of water at certain depths from the equator to the poles and back from the poles to the equator.

Thus, it is directly associated with the density of the water. It has no relation with the wind.

Hence, the above statement is False.

In an electron dot diagram of propane (C3H8), how many double bonds are present?

NeX [460]

Answer:- none

Explanations:- For naming hydrocarbons we use the suffix -ane, -ene and -yne.

-ane is used when we have only single bonds between all carbons. -ene is used if there is any double bond between two carbons and the -yne is used if there is any triple bond between two carbons.

The given name of the compound is propane. It ends at -ane and so it's an alkane and must have single bonds between all the carbons it has. So, there are zero double bonds present in $C_3H_8$ .
