Relate the intermolecular forces in hydrocarbons to their physical properties and uses

The physical properties of alkenes and alkynes are generally similar to those of alkanes or cycloalkanes with equal numbers of carbon atoms. Alkynes have higher boiling points than alkanes or alkenes, because the electric field of an alkyne, with its increased number of weakly held π electrons, is more easily distorted, producing stronger attractive forces between molecules.

Brian is testing to see how much water plants need. Why is it important that Brian includes a control group? A) To observe wheth

bija089 [108]

Answer: B or C

Explanation: The question does not include the variable or steps Brian is using so either one could be correct. It has to be the one that he is controlling though. This is because a control group is used to rule out any alternate explanations. Therefore the answer should be the one that he is trying to test out.

Determine how the following bonds are made using Lewis dots structures

garri49 [273]

Answer :

1.) $Ca^{2+}+2Cl^-\rightarrow CaCl_2$

Calcium has 2 valence electrons and chlorine has 7 valence electrons. For neutral molecule, 2 chlorine atoms share their valence electrons with 1 calcium atom. The bonds are formed between the calcium and chlorine atom.

2.) $Al^{3+}+3F^-\rightarrow AlF_3$

Aluminium has 3 valence electrons and fluorine has 7 valence electrons. For neutral molecule, 3 fluorine atoms share their valence electrons with 1 aluminium atom. The bonds are formed between the aluminium and fluorine atom.

3.) $H^{+}+Cl^-\rightarrow HCl$

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron and chlorine has 7 valence electrons. For neutral molecule, 1 chlorine atom share their valence electrons with 1 hydrogen atom. The bonds are formed between the hydrogen and chlorine atom.

4.) $2H^{+}+S^{2-}\rightarrow H_2S$

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron and sulfur has 6 valence electrons. For neutral molecule, 2 hydrogen atoms share their valence electrons with 1 sulfur atom. The bonds are formed between the hydrogen and sulfur atom.

5.) $Cl^{-}+Cl^-\rightarrow Cl_2$

Chlorine has 7 valence electrons. For neutral molecule, 1 chlorine atom share their valence electrons with 1 chlorine atom. The bonds are formed between chlorine and chlorine atom.
