The correct answer is A.

B is incorrect because the C with the triple bond is shown also single bonded to two hydrogens and another C atom: That would give us a C with 12 bonds, which violates the octet rule.

C is incorrect because you have an sp3 carbon atom that has only two hydrogens, and so is short two bonds. This would be correct if either there were another H bonded to the carbon atom or if it formed a double bond with an adjacent carbon atom (an H would have to be removed from that adjacent carbon, however).

D is incorrect for the reason mentioned above: You have a C that is double-bonded to one C, and single-bonded to another C and two H atoms. This adds up to 10 bonds, violating the octet rule. This would be a correct structure if a hydrogen atom were removed from the middle carbon atom.

The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons is best quantified by the ________.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

b. electronegativity

Explanation:

The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons is best quantified by the _Electronegativity_.

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract a shared pair of electron which is loosely held. Polar molecules often possess such properties. The Halogen group (group 17) is famous for such property because it has the highest electronegativity in periodic table.

An aqueous solution has a mass of 490 grams containing 8.5 × 10-3 gram of calcium ions. The concentration of calcium ions in thi

Arada [10]

The concentration may be expressed as % m/m, this is the mass of ions in 100 mass units of solution, whose formula is:

% m/m = [mass of ions / mass of solution]*100

Then,

%m/m = [8.5*10^ -3 grams of calcium ions] / [490 grams of solution] * 100 =

% m/m = 1.74 * 10^ -5 %

Answer: 1.74 * 10 ^ -5 %
