Why do two oxygen atoms form a double covalent bond?

Chemistry
1 answer:
elena-s [515]4 years ago
5 0

A lone oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell which is not very stable, whereas as full octet (8 outer shell electrons) is stable. In order to achieve this two oxygen atoms will share 4 electrons, each contributing 2 electrons. Since these electrons exist within the orbitals of both atoms, to oxygen atoms essentially achieve a full octet.

Determine the name for aqueous H2CO3. carbonous acid dihydrogen carbonate carbonic acid hydrocarbonic acid hydrocarbide acid
BabaBlast [244]

The name for aqueous H_{2} CO_{3} is carbonic acid.

So, option C is correct one.

Binary hydrogen compounds with non metals may form H+ (proton) and an anion dissolved in water. The acidic solutions are named as if they were molecular acids , using the usual name for the compound itself , replacing hydrogen with hydro- and suffix -ide with ic. The word acid is then use.

The inorganic acid is an acid drive from one or more inorganic compounds. All inorganic acids form hydrogen ions and the conjugate base ions when dissolved in water.

Example: carbonic acid ( H_{2} CO_{3} )

Nezavi [6.7K]

A molecule and its chair flip are related by being labled as Conformational isomers

The process of rotating around single bonds to change one cyclohexane chair conformation into another. Axial substituents become equatorial upon cyclohexane ring flip, whereas equatorial substituents become axial.

<h3>What is Conformational isomers ?</h3>

Stereoisomers created by rotation (twisting) about -bonds are known as conformational isomers (also known as conformers, rotational isomers, or rotamers), and they frequently interconvert quickly at room temperature.

  • For instance, butane contains three conformers related to its two methyl (CH3) groups: two gauche conformers with enantiomeric methyls that are spaced 60 degrees apart, and an anti conformer with coplanar four carbon centres and 180-degree-spaced substituents (refer to free energy diagram of butane).
