How is electronegativity related to covalent bonding?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vinvika [58]4 years ago
4 0
Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons. This sharing allows each atom to achieve its octet of electrons and greater stability. Methane, CH 4<span>, the simplest organic compound, contains covalent bonds. Carbon has four valence electrons, while hydrogen has one valence electron. By sharing these outer‐shell electrons, carbon and hydrogen complete their valence shells and become more stable. The duet of electrons on the hydrogen is isoelectronic with helium and forms a complete shell.</span>

The combustion of ethane (C2H6)(C2H6) produces carbon dioxide and steam. 2C2H6(g)+7O2(g)⟶4CO2(g)+6H2O(g) 2C2H6(g)+7O2(g)⟶4CO2(g)
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

11.9 moles of carbon-dioxide will produced.

Explanation:

Given moles of ethane = 5.95 mol

2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

According to reaction 2 moles of ethane produces 4 moles of carbon-dioxide.

Then, 5.95 moles of ethane will produce:

\frac{4}{2}\times 5.95 mol=11.9 mol of carbon-dioxide

11.9 moles of carbon-dioxide will produced.

If an alternative energy resource could successfully replace crude oil, how might the use of that resource affect the environmen
weeeeeb [17]
The alternative energy source would be a renewable energy source, it would decrease pollution substantially as more and more people would start to use this new energy source. Whether or not it would be more expensive is debatable, but over all improve our environment and quality or our air water etc. hope this helps :)

Fracking involves the ______drilling to extract oil and natural gas from the rock. Select one: a. vertical b. lateral c. horizon
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Fracking involves the ______drilling to extract oil and natural gas from the rock. Select one: a. vertical b. lateral c. horizontal

The answer is option C (horizontal)

Explanation:

Fracking commonly known as Hydraulic fracturing is an oil and gas production technique that has enabled the extraction of oil and gas from rock (shale rock).

A fracturing fluid typically water with additives is pumped under high pressure into the drilling pipe to widen fractures in the rock or to create new ones and and allow trapped gas or crude oil to flow through a pipe to a wellhead at the surface, deep holes are drilled down into the shale rock. These fractures are held open by an injected proppant, typically sand and release hydrocarbons. Fracking takes about three to five days. Since shale reserves are typically distributed horizontally rather than vertically, horizontal directional drilling method is employed.

Some of the impacts of Fracking on the environment are:

  • It consume large quantities of <em>fresh water</em>
  • The injection of recovered fracking water into underground disposal wells and the high pressure used to extract oil and gas from rock may cause <em>earthquakes</em>.
  • Fracking causes air and water pollution.
  • <em>Deforestation</em> caused by fracking has deep effects on the environment.
