Why does a 4 carbon linear alkane, butane c4h10, have two more hydrogens ?

Scilla [17]

Alkanes are hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds in them. A carbon can bond with up to 4 atoms, even with another carbon atom. So, in a C-C bond, 3 more H atoms can bond to each of the C atom. Generally, the chemical formula for alkanes is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. So for butane, there are 4 C atoms. The corresponding H atoms are 2(4) + 2 = 10. That's why it's chemical formula is C₄H₁₀.

16. Which element has th17. Magnesium, Mg, tends to form a +2 ion. Which will have the larger atomic radius? Mg or Mg2+ (Explain

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Th is the symbol for element Thorium.

Mg is magnesium while Mg 2+ is magnesium Ion. Judging from periodic trends, atomic radius is one half the distance between the atoms of two covalently bonded atoms. It decreases as elevtrons are added to valence shells. That means, across the period it increases and down the group it decreases. Making Mg2+ smaller.

Electronegativity is the energy needed to take an electron in the gaseous state. Florine is more electron negative that lithium. It increases across the period and decreases down the group. Except in the Noble group.

Calculate the percent ionic, the percent covalent, and the bond length (in picometers) of a chemical bond between phosphorus and

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

4 percent ionic, 96 percent covalent, 222 pm

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Phosphorus:

Atomic radius = 109 pm

Covalent radius = 106 pm

Ionic radius = 212 pm

Electronegativity of phosphorus = 2.19

Selenium:

Atomic radius = 122 pm

Covalent radius = 116 pm

Ionic radius = 198 pm

Electronegativity of selenium= 2.55

The percentage ionic character of the chemical bond between phosphorus and selenium is given by the relation;

Using Pauling's alternative electronegativity difference method, we have;

$\% \, Ionic \ Character = \left [18\times (\bigtriangleup E.N.)^{1.4} \right ] \%$

Where:

Δ E.N. = Change in electronegativity = 2.55 - 2.19 = 0.36

Therefore;

$\% \, Ionic \ Character = \left [18\times (0.36)^{1.4} \right ] \% = 4.3 \%$

Hence the percentage ionic character = 4.3% ≈ 4%

the percentage covalent character = (100 - 4.3)% = 95.7% ≈ 96%

The bond length for the covalent bond is found adding the covalent radii of both atoms as follows;

The bond length for the covalent bond = 106 pm + 116 pm = 222 pm.

The correct option is therefore, 4 percent ionic, 96 percent covalent, 222 pm.
