Answer:
They have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain than alkanes
Explanation:
Let's compare ethane (an alkane) with ethene (an alkene) and ethyne (an alkyne):
- Ethane's formula is C₂H₄, while ethene's is C₂H₄ and ethyne's C₂H₂.
As you can see, alkenes and alkynes have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain due to them having multiple bonds between the carbon atoms.
The periodic table of the elements are describe the electronic configuration of the elements on which the properties of the elements depends. Among the given groups only metal, non-metal and semi-metal group are the part of periodic table. The metallic property depends upon the binding energy of the electrons with the nucleus. Thus the elements which have the valence electrons more near to the nucleus that is s-block elements are more metallic in nature. On the other hand the elements which have the valence electrons far from the nucleus are more non-metallic in nature like p-block elements. However the binding energy or the attraction of the outermost electrons to the nucleus depends not only its valence electrons position but also some other factors like shielding effect, effective nuclear charge etc.
The elements which are in between the metals and non-metals can be classified as semi-metals.
Although the conductivity of a material is an inherent property of the metals but sometime the nonmetals or semi-metals are also behave like a conductor due to presence of the other elements, thus it cannot be a p[property of the periodic table. Similarly acidity, flammable gases are not part of the periodic table.
Pure magnesium's formula would just be Mg because all elements except for 7 nonmetals are just left alone when they are by themselves in a formula. The 7 diatomic elements( means they have to have two of them without another element attached to it aka. a subscript two after it when it's by itself) are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. An easy way to remember the diatomic seven is that when looking at a periodic table if you trace over them from nitrogen over to fluorine and down to iodine all of those elements are diatomic + hydrogen.
And your unbalanced and balanced equations are correct.
(sorry I went on a tangent with the diatomic rules hopefully it will help you in the future though)
Ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that refers to the bonding of <span>oppositely charged ions (anions and cations) because of attraction and the </span>transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. Cation is the metal that loses electrons and become a positively charged cation, and anions are
the nonmetal that accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged
anion.
According this explanation, an ionic bond is:
B. the force that holds the valence electrons to the atom
