NH3 forms polar covalent bonds, N being most electronegative in its group..thus creating a delta positive charge on its attached H atoms-required condition for H bonding....water being a polar solvent,whereas in PH3 it is less electronegative than N cannot help create a delta positive harge on on its H atoms therefore no H bonding....yohoo...wot an answer...i rock..jojo

How many hydrogens does propyne have?

Propyne has 4 Hydrogens. The prefix "prop-" indicates three carbons, while the suffix "-yne" indicates a triple bond. Therefore, H-C-(triple bond)--C-CH3 Three C-C-C in a row, with a triple bond between either the first two or the last two (it doesn't matter which because the molecule is technically the same, just rotated). There will then be four bonds in order to complete the octet rule and satisfy each C with four bonds.

What is the oxidation number of ethyl-en diamine?

The oxidation number of each carbon in ethylenediamine is -3, as it is bonded to three hydrogens. The nitrogen in ethylenediamine has an oxidation number of -3, as it is also bonded to three hydrogens.


What is c2h3oh Lewis structure?

The two carbons would be your central with 3 hydrogens branching out( 2 on one side and 1 on the other) and the oxygen will be branchinng out on the same side as the hydrogen that there is only one with a hyrogen branching out from the oxygen. There will be a single bond between the O and the H, the C and the two H, and the C and the other H, and a double bond(two lines) between the two carbons.
