Hydrocarbons consisting of short carbon chains are ________.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tresset [83]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Hydrocarbons with short chain lengths are more volatile than those with longer chains. A practical example of this can be seen in the first few members of the alkane series. They are mostly gaseous in nature and this is quite a contrast to the next few members which are solid in nature.

As we move down the group, we can see that there is an increase in the number of solids. Hence, as we go down the group we can see a relative increase in order and thus we expect more stability at room temperature compared to the volatility of the shorter chain

If two atoms are isotopes of the same element the atoms must have
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Same number of protons but different number of neutrons

Explanation:

Isotopy is a phenomena in which atoms of the same element differs by the number of neutrons in their nucleus. While it is important to note that they have the same number of protons and hence the same atomic number, they have different mass numbers.

They have the same atomic numbers because an element can only have one atomic number. Hence, all atoms of that element are composed of the same number of protons but different neutron numbers.

Since atoms have more than one electron (other than atomic hydrogen) how do you account for the electrons remaining associated w
WARRIOR [948]
Answer: the electrons remain around the atomic nuclei due to the existence of a positive charge on the nuclei that, of course, atract the negative charged electrons. The protons are the paricles in the nuclei that hold the positive charge.

Justification:

First, I wish to explaing the sense of the question. The question arises because given that the electrons have negative electric charge how is that they do not repeal each other to the point that they end leaving the nucleous of the atom alone.

This is you know that equal charges repel each other, so how is it that the electrons stand around the nucleous instead of separateing and levaing the atomic nucleous alone.

The answer is due to the existence of a positive charge on the nuclei that, of course, atract the negative charged electrons. That positive charge is the protons.

The protons are particles in the atomic nuclei that are positive charged and they exert the right attractive force upon the electrons to permit them stay in the orbitals (regions of the space around the nuclei of the atoms where the electrons are found).

Define fermentation and how alcohol is produced. Describe distillation, the process used in forming " spirits".
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Fermentation is where all alcohol is created, distillation is where the alcohol is separated and removed. In order for fermentation to occur, two things are needed: a raw material in liquid form that contains sugar, followed by the addition of yeast.

if you could place a piece of solid silver into a container of liquid silver, would it float or sink? Explain your answer

Liquid silver is less dense than solid silver, so the solid silver would sink.
