Alkanes are hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds in them. A carbon can bond with up to 4 atoms, even with another carbon atom. So, in a C-C bond, 3 more H atoms can bond to each of the C atom. Generally, the chemical formula for alkanes is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. So for butane, there are 4 C atoms. The corresponding H atoms are 2(4) + 2 = 10. That's why it's chemical formula is C₄H₁₀.
Answer:
Covalent bonding
Explanation:
In covalent bonding, the electrons are shared to fill the octet rule (8 electrons in valence shell). CCl4 tends to do covalent bonding because the the 4 valence electrons are Carbon are shared with the Chlorine atoms so that each chlorine atom has a full octet and chlorine shares its electrons to fill the octet of carbon.
Also, since carbon and chlorine are both non-metal, non-metal things exhibit covalent bonding thus this is covalent bonding as well. Ionic boding is for metal and non metal pair where electrons are transferrred, in our case, electrons are shared, they are not transferred.
Answer:
(b) Both have the same number of valence electrons.
Step-by-step explanation:
We find the most striking chemical similarities between two Main Group elements when they are in the same Group of the Periodic Table.
Elements in the same Group have the same number of valence electrons.
(a) is <em>wrong</em>, because elements in the same group have <em>different masses</em>.
(c) is <em>wrong,</em> because atoms with the same number of protons belong to the s<em>ame element</em>.
(d) is wrong, because elements in the same Group must be in .
<em>different Periods.</em>
Answer:
The reason is because Flagstaff is at a higher elevation than Phoenix.
Explanation:
The air is thinner at higher elevations. You can google Flagstaff's elevation compared to Phoenix but the simple answer is that air is thinner at higher elevations and some people used to 'thicker' air find it harder to breath, especially after some strenuous exercise.
