Lewis structure of butane

Chemistry
1 answer:
eduard2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em>This is the C4H10 Lewis structure: Butane. For Butane, we have a total of 26 valence electrons. Whenever we see the ending, "ane", we know that we're going to have Carbons and Hydrogens single bonded. That makes it a little bit easier to draw the C4H10 Lewis structure. We'll put four Carbons in a row and then we'll put Hydrogens around them. Because each Carbon needs to have four single bonds--each bond having two valence electrons, that'll give it an octet--we'll have three Hydrogens on the end Carbons and two on the center, like this. There are the three on the ends, and then we'll put two Hydrogens on the central Carbons. Next we'll place a single bond between each of the atoms to show that a pair of electrons is being shared.</em>

<em>So we've used all 26 valence electrons for the C4H10 Lewis structure, and we can see that each Carbon has four single bonds. Since each single bond has two valence electrons, that means that each Carbon has an octet. Each Hydrogen has a single bond, so it has two valence electrons. That means that it has a full outer shell as well. So we've used all the valence electrons that we had for C4H10 and everything has an octet.</em><em>.</em><em>'</em><em>,</em><em>'</em><em>.</em>

identify each material as a compound or a mixture. Caffeine contains hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in a fixed rat
vitfil [10]
Answer: caffeine is a compound.

Explanation:

1) As stated c<span>affeine contains hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in a fixed ratio.

2) The definition of compound is a pure substance formed by chemical bonding of two or more fifferent elements. That means a defined ratio of the elements in the compound, which conferes uniform and equal properties to every part of the compound.

Some examples of compounds are salt (NaCl), water (H2O), vinegard (CH3 COOH).

A mixture combines several elements or compounds, not bonded by chemical bonds but mixed in ratios which may vary.

Briefly explain formality in solution.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Both molarity and formality express concentration as moles of solute per liter of solution. Formality is a substance's total concentration in solution without regard to its specific chemical form. ... The formality of a solution is defined as the number of formula mass of any solute dissolved in 1 litre of solution.
