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.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

B) The term "inert" was dropped because it no longer described all the group 8A elements.

Explanation:

Inert elements in chemistry simply refers to elements that are chemically inactive and are not expected to form any compounds. this is the general belief for the group 8 elements as they all have complete duplet/octet configurations (and ideally, they ought to be very stable with no tendency to form compounds by participating in the loss and gain of electrons). However the discovery of compounds like xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) proved this to be wrong.

Again, the reason the term - inert gses was droppedis beacause this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions.

After dropping the term - Inert gases, they are now referred to as noble gases.

 A chemist describes a particular experiment in this way: "0.0400 mol of H2O2 decomposed into 0.0400 mol of H2O and 0.0200 mol o
AleksandrR [38]
Description:

<span>"0.0400 mol of H2O2 decomposed into 0.0400 mol of H2O and 0.0200 mol of O2." 

This means that a certain amount of H2O2 (0.0400 mol) decomposed or was broken down into two components, 0.04 mol of H2O and 0.02 mol of O2. To examine the system, we need a balanced equation:

H2O2 ---> H2O + 0.5O2

The final concentrations of the system indicates that the system is in equilibrium. </span>

Why do materials interact to light differently?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Refracted (refraction) – the bending of transmitted light as it travels across the boundary of one material into another material in which it's speed is different. Unlike diffraction, this change in direction of light occurs because light is changing its speed in the different substances in it traveling in.

The cell membrane that surrounds the cell acts as a _____.
kicyunya [14]

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Cell membrane can be defined as the outermost covering of the cell which allows the movement of particles across membrane. The particles are allowed to move from inside of the cell to the outside of the cell and from outside to inside of the cell.

This kind of a membrane is known as selectively permeable which allows the movement of certain molecules only.

hence, the correct answer is option B
