Answer:

A. Alternating single and double bonds

Explanation:

Hydrocarbons i.e. hydrogen and carbon containing compounds, are grouped into two namely: aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Aliphatic hydrocarbons contains straight or branched chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms in their structure e.g. alkanes, alkenes etc.

On the other hand, aromatic hydrocarbons are cyclic hydrocarbons containing one or more cyclic rings. The benzene ring is the basis of all aromatic hydrocarbons and one characteristics of benzene is that it possesses an alternating single (-) and double bonds (=) in their structure.

Since benzene is a building constituent of aromatic hydrocarbons, an "alternating single and double bond" is a characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons.

Write the balanced COMPLETE ionic equation for the reaction when aqueous NiCl₂ and aqueous Na₂S are mixed in solution to form so

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The chemical reaction of the well-balanced equation is as follows:

$\mathbf{2NiCl_{2(aq)}+2Na_2S_{(aq)} \to 4NaCl_{(aq)}+2NiS_{s}}$

The aforementioned reaction's ionic equation is:

$\mathbf{2Ni^{2+}_{(aq)}+4Cl^-_{(aq)}+ 4Na^+_{(aq)}+2S^{2-}_{(aq)} \to 4Na^+_{(aq)}+4Cl^-_{(aq)}+2NiS_{(s)}}$

From above; Na⁺ and Cl⁻ appear on both sides;

Hence, the net ionic equation is:

$\mathbf{2Ni^{2+}_{(aq)}+2S^{2-}_{(aq)} \to 2NiS_{(s)}}$

Arrange the molecules H2O, NH3, Ar, NaCl in order of expected increasing boiling points. 1. None of these 2. NaCl, H2O, NH3, Ar

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Option (4) is correct

Explanation:

NaCl is an ionic solid. $Na^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ions are held together by strong coloumbic attractive force. Hence NaCl has highest boiling point'
Ar is a monoatomic molecule. Hence only weak london dispersion force exists between Ar atom/molecules. Hence it requires lowest amount of energy to boil and thereby possess lowest boiling point.
$NH_{3}$ and $H_{2}O$ are polar protic molecules. Hence they possess london dispersion force, dipole-dipole force and hydrogen bonding as intermolecular forces.
Dipole-dipole force is stronger in $H_{2}O$ than $NH_{3}$ due to more polar O-H bond than N-H bond. Also molecular weight of $H_{2}O$ is higher than $NH_{3}$ . So, more energy is required to boil $H_{2}O$ . So, $H_{2}O$ has higher boiling point than $NH_{3}$
