Answer: 2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products must be same as the mass of reactants.

For the conservation of mass, the number of atoms of each element must be same in reactants and products. Thus we need to balance the reaction by writing appropriate stochiometric coefficients.

All the hydrocarbons burn in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.Thus the complete balanced equation is:

2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O

Do CO2 and h2o have the same geometry
Svetach [21]
No, they do not. Carbon dioxide has a linear geometry because the lone pair and bond pair repulsion cancels out; however, water has a bent structure because only the oxygen atom possesses a lone pair which brings the bonding electron pairs closer.

What is NOT a condition needed for a hurricane to form?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The first condition is that ocean waters must be above 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit). Below this threshold temperature, hurricanes will not form or will weaken rapidly once they move over water below this threshold.

Include two kinds
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.  Both atoms are joint together by electrostatic interaction and ionic compound sodium chloride is formed.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive and both bonded atoms connected together through covalent bond.
