A carbon-oxygen group like this is referred to as a carbonyl group by itself. Any molecule that has one bonded into it's main chain is a ketone.

What is the Lewis structure for carbonyl fluoride?

Carbon in the middle with a single bond to fluorine to the left, another single bond with fluorine going down, and a double bond with oxygen to the right. Each fluorine has 3 pairs of electrons on the non-bonded sides. Oxygen has electron pairs on top and bottom.


Which combination of carbon and oxygen is most stable?

Carbon contains 6e, thus the valence e' should have 4 looking like this: C--2e"---4e' Carbon needs 4covalent bonds to achieve stability. Could have four hydrogens, which would fulfill the single covalent bonds, which would satisfy the Octet Rule (8electons in the valence shell) ....H.................. ..../................. H-C-H............. ..../................. ...H.................... for the double bonding (covalent bond) another Carbon: C=C, they are sharing all electrons to fulfill the 8 needed electrons... For the triple covalent bond, you will need to have two elements that are willing to share their electrons to have 8e', you can make ACETONE: with two Hyrdogens and one more Carbon set it up like so: H-C_=C-H The triple bond is in the middle (C_=C) sorry, for the weird setup.. should be two single bonds between both Hydrogens and one, triple covalent bond between the Carbon atoms.


Molecular shape of carbon dioxide?

Linear


What is the probable shape and polarity of H2O?

A molecule of water has the molecular geometry bent, which results from having 2 bonded pairs of electrons and two unbonded pairs of electrons. As to the polarity, a molecule is either polar or non-polar, based on the difference in the electronegativity values of the atoms present and the overall geometry of the molecule. There is a suficietly large electronegativity difference between the hydrogen atoms and the oxygen atom to create a polar molecule, and a bent geometry will not cancel out this polarity. Thus, water is polar.


How many hydrogen atoms does carbon have?

There are a base four carbons, which makes the base alkane butane. The formula for a hydrocarbon is CxH(2x+2). However, there are two double bonds, so that removes two hydrogens. The total number of hydrogens is 8.

What functional group has a double bond oxygen on a middle carbon?

The functional group with a double bond oxygen on a middle carbon is a ketone. In a ketone, the carbon doubly bonded to the oxygen is in the center of the molecule and is attached to two other carbon groups.

What is the structure of formaldehyde?

CH2O, one carbon atom in the middle and from that 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen double bonded to the carbon. it is a planar molecule with angles of 108 (from one hydrogen to the other hydrogen) and 126 (from the oxygen to both hydrogen)

In alkanes carbon is bonded to how many other atoms?

Four. A terminal carbon in an alkane is bonded to 3 hydrogens and 1 carbon, while a middle carbon is bonded to 2 hydrogens and 2 carbons.


Is a ketone?

>> it is poison inside your body (<-- this information has been stated as incorrect) this is wrong, and is not a helpful answer. ketones are produced by the liver as an alternative fuel for the brain, when carbohydrate is not supplied as fuel. Ketones are a class of organic (carbon containing) molecules which contain an oxygen atom double bonded to a carbon NOT on the end of a carbon chain. The simplest ketone is acetone (diagram formatting may be disrupted): O C / \ H3C CH3 OR CH3C(O)CH3 where the brackets indicate the oxygen is bonded to the middle carbon, not the right most one.


Which molecule is propyne?

Propyne is a linear hydrocarbon with 3 carbons and 4 hydrogens. Two of the carbons are triple bonded, the remaining carbon is single bonded to the middle carbon Starting at the single bonded end, you have three hydrogens bonded to the first carbon, which is single bonded to the middle carbon. The middle carbon is triple bonded to the last carbon. The last carbon is also bonded to a hydrogen. H ...\ H-C-C≡C-H .../ H


How do aldehyde's and ketones differ from alcohol?

Both aldehydes and ketones contain a C=O (carbon double bond oxygen). Ketones have this C=O somewhere in their carbon chain, but not at the start or end of the chain (ie: there are more carbons attached to the carbon containing the double bond oxygen, and no hydrogens bonded to that carbon). Aldehydes have there C=O at the end, or start of the chain, and to maintain the octet rule, there is hydrogen bonded to the oxygen containing carbon (please note that it is a C=O). The functional group of alcohol is OH. This OH is bonded directly to the last (or first) carbon in the chain. The big difference is that the carbon bond oxygen is a single bond and the hydrogen is bonded to the oxygen (not the carbon, as the case of aldehydes).


What is the diagram of a molecule of carbon dioxide?

A molecule of carbon dioxide has the formula CO2, which means that there are one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms in each molecule. Each oxygen atom forms a double bond with the central carbon atom. Its structural formula is O=C=O, and the molecule is linear.


What functional group is CH3CH2CO2?

At the end of the molecule C is equal to O it is an aldehyde. Carbon has 3 bonds to form and an alcohol would have COH2. The last section is CO and the Carbon and Oxygen are double bonded.


What type of chemical bond does carbonic acid have?

Carbonic acid (H2CO3) has the main compound, carbon, in the middle. carbon has a double bond with oxygen (indicated by two lines pointing towards oxygen), then it has two covalent bonds with two other oxygen molecules. those oxygen molecules have one bond each to hydrogen. here is the best illustration: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Carbonic-acid-2D.svg


What is the Lewis dot diagram for carbon monoxide?

Carbon is triple bonded to oxygen. This leaves 2 lone pairs on both atoms, and accounts for octet rule and 10 electrons eventhough formal charges are broken. :C=O: (three lines in middle for triple bond)
