When naming hydrocarbons what does the suffix yne indicate about the structure of the molecule?
The meaning is the existence of a triple bond in alkynes.
Is it true a double bond involves two pairs of electrons?
No. Sharing of six electrons would indicate a triple bond, such as that in nitrogen gas, N2. Sharing four would be a double bond, as in O2. Hope that helps :)
Indicate the hybridization about each interior atom for an amino acid aspartic acid?
all of `em is sp3 except the oxygen is sp2 due to the pi bond
How does the oxidation number indicate if an electron will be lost or gain by the bond in an atom?
Oxidation number describes gain of electrons. It involves addition of oxygen and removal of hydrogen.
Why bond order of co is greater than that of co plus?
CO+ has a shorter bond length than CO- so its bond order is greater! As student yoyu are prbably expecte to use an MO diagram removing an electron from the HOMO highest occupied molecular orbital. there are different diagrams around. Some of them indicate that bond order will increase as you are removing an electron from an anti-bonding orbital a 2s-sigma. You may wish to look at the digram that your teacher has recommended and use that to get the "right" answer - the test is how to use MO diagrams after all.
Brackets indicate what type of bond?
hydrogen bond
Does the -en in octenoal indicate the presence of a triple bond?
No. Instead, -ene represents a double bond. Triple bonds are represented by the suffix -yne.
What is used to indicate the number of each type of atom in the naming of a covalent bond?
a prefix
What is used to indicate the number of each type of atom in naming of a covalent bond?
a prefix
Can the physical properties of a compound indicate that they have an ionic bond?
Yes. An ionic bond is an electrical charge between two atoms, thus giving off energy.
What does the electronegativty of an atom indicate?
Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract the electrons of a covalent bond towards it.
When naming hydrocarbons what does the suffix yne indicate about the structure of the molecule?
The meaning is the existence of a triple bond in alkynes.
How do you indicate that the carbons on either side of the double bond are pointing in opposite directions?
Use the prefix trans
Do atoms giving up valence electrons indicate that an ionic bond is present?
True Apex
How do you indicate that the carbons on either side of the double bond are pointing opposite directions?
Use the prefix trans
