Hydrogen can act either like a metal or a non-metal. It may seem to you that hydrogen, which is a gas, is obviously not a metal, however under conditions of low temperature and high pressure, hydrogen does become a solid metal that looks and acts like other metals. In terms of chemistry, hydrogen can be either an electron donor, typical of metals, or an electron recipient, typical of non-metals.

How do hydrogen bonds affect the viscosities of propan-1-ol ethane-12-diol and propane-123-triol?

Propane is a gas and has extremely low viscosity. Propan-1-ol has 1 OH group and can hydrogen bond and is higher viscosity. Ethane-1,2-diol has two OH groups and double the tendency to hydrogen bond and is much higher viscosity. Propane-1,2,3-triol is also known as glycerin/glycerol and is almost like a syrup as it has such high viscosity. This is because it has 3 OH groups and thus 3 sites for hydrogen bonding.


How many sets of equivalent hydrogen are there in the compound 2-methylpropane?

Are any what hydrogen bonds ethanol propanol butanol pentane methanol hexane?

Hydrogen bonds can form between ethanol, propanol, and methanol due to the presence of hydroxyl groups (OH). Butanol also has potential for hydrogen bonding, while pentane and hexane do not have functional groups that allow for hydrogen bonding.


Composition of Hydrogen Peroxide?

Hydrogen peroxide is a clear colorless liquid that is infinitely soluble in water. Agricultural pesticide products usually contain no more than 35% hydrogen peroxide, which is then usually diluted to 1% or less when applied as a spray or a liquid. In its more concentrated form, hydrogen peroxide is extremely corrosive and irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membrane, and can be explosive if not stored under proper conditions.


What category is hydrogen in?

Hydrogen can gain an electron and act as an anion attaching itself to metals and act as a base. It can loose an electron and attach itself to non-metals and act as an acid

How many substituent groups can obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from propane?

Two substituent groups can be obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from propane, resulting in propyl groups.


How do an atom of hydrogen and molecule of hydrogen differ?

A molecule of hydrogen is two atoms of hydrogen bonded together so that they share their single electrons, making them act as if they had a full s1 orbital in both atoms.


How many hydrogen bond can h2o2 form?

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can form two hydrogen bonds. Each oxygen atom in the molecule can act as a hydrogen bond acceptor, allowing for two potential hydrogen bonds to form with other molecules or within the H2O2 molecule itself.

What functional groups act as an acid?

Functional groups like carboxylic acids and phenols can act as acids by donating a proton (H+) in a reaction. These functional groups contain an acidic hydrogen atom that can be released as a hydronium ion (H3O+).


In what two groups does hydrogen form ionic compounds?

Acids and Hydrides? Not 100% sure about Acids, i do know that Hydrides are right though.


What are the two main types of functional groups?

The two main types of functional groups are alkyl groups, which are hydrocarbon chains, and heteroatom groups, which contain at least one atom other than carbon and hydrogen. These functional groups play a crucial role in determining the chemical properties of organic compounds.

What is an alkylidene?

An alkylidene is any of a class of divalent functional groups derived from an alkane by removal of two hydrogen atoms from the same carbon atom.


How do you convert 1977 ACT scores to current ACT scores?

Add a point or two to your score. The ACT is easier now and groups like Mensa no longer accept those scores for admission, btw.
