How can we distinguish between ethylene and acetylene chemically?​

Chemistry

Kisachek [45]2 years ago

Both ethylene and acetylene are hydrocarbons but the former has a carbon to carbon double bond while the latter has a carbon to carbon triple bond.

<h3>Ethylene and acetylene</h3>

Both organic compounds are referred to as hydrocarbons.

They are also both unsaturated.

Ethylene contains a C-C double bond and belongs to the alkene group.

Acetylene contains a C-C triple bond and belongs to the alkyne group.

Answer:

<h3>The key difference between acetylene and ethylene is that acetylene has a triple bond between two carbon atoms whereas ethylene has a double bond between two carbon atoms. The names acetylene and ethylene sound similar, but they are different hydrocarbon compounds.</h3>

Answer:

Physical

Explanation:

because the erosion of the canyon did not change any of the chemical attributes of the rock it only changed the appearance. it may have changed the color which is an example of chemical properties but in this case, it is physical. But in other cases, you would refer to this type of weathering as mechanical weathering.

Select the atoms or ions drawn with valid Lewis dot structures. A) A carbon has a dot on top, right, bottom and to the left.a ni
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

B, C

Explanation:

The atoms or ions with the valid Lewis dot structures are B and C.

In A;

The Lewis structure of the carbon is correct. Each of the four dots represent the four valence electrons.

The  nitrogen with one dot on top, left and to the bottom and has a charge of minus 3 is wrong. For it to have a charge of -3 it must have 8 lewis dots ( two on the top, right, bottom and to the left)

The nitrogen with four dots (on top, right, bottom and to the left) is wrong.

In B;

An oxygen has two dots on top and bottom and one dot to the left and to the right. This is correct , the 6 dots represent the valence electrons of oxygen.

In C;

A carbon has two dots on top, right, bottom and to the left and a charge of plus four. This is correct because the charge indicates that it has gained four extra electrons so its valence electrons is now 8.

In D;

An oxygen has two dots on top, left and to the bottom and a charge of minus 2. This is wrong because the lewis dots are incomplete. Two dots are missing.
