Why do some compounds form double or triple bonds?

Chemistry

Answer:

Some compounds form double or triple bonds so they can become more stable.

Explanation:

A Lewis structure for CO₂ that obeys the octet rule and has only single bonds would be the first formula below.

The molecule can become more stable if the single electrons move into the regions between the nuclei to form double bonds as in the second formula below.

The electrons can then hold the nuclei more tightly together and make the molecule more stable.

Elements form multiple bonds because they need a total of eight atoms. Anything in groups 4 through 8 can form double bonds, and anything in groups 6-8 can form triple bonds.

A 0.8715 g sample of sorbic acid, a compound first obtained from the berries of a certain ash tree, is burned completely in oxyg
aivan3 [116]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

C3H4O

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound;

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01  

Mass of CO2 produced = 2.053 g

Mass of carbon in original sample = 12.01/44.01 × 2.053

                                                           = 0.5603g  

Molar mass H2O = 18  

Mass of H in original sample = 2/18 ×0.5601

                                               = 0.0622  g

Thus; original sample contained 0.5603g C and 0.0622g H. The balance of the sample was O  

Mass of O = 0.8715 - (0.5603 + 0.0622) = 0.249g  

The mole ratio of C:H:O  will be;

Moles C = 0.5603/12 = 0.0467  

Moles H = 0.0622  

Moles O = 0.249/16 = 0.01556  

C:H:O = 0.0467:0.0622:0.01556  

Divide through by 0.01556:  

C:H:O = 3:4:1  

Empirical formula is thus C3H4O

How many molecules are in a 2.1 mol of H2O? *
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The mole is the SI unit for amount of a substance.

Explanation:

Just like the dozen and the gross, it is a name that stands for a number. There are therefore 6.02 × 10 23 water molecules in a mole of water molecules.
