Carbonyl group consists of carbon attached to oxygen with double covalent bond in which one bond is formed head on and is the sigma bond(first bond formed in covalency is sigma), followed by lateral overlapping of orbitals to form pi bond with oxygen. The other two valencies of carbon are satisfied by sigma bonds each.

Why do nitrogen molecules have triple bonds where is oxygen molecules have double bonds?

I think of it this way: the more bonds an atom has, the stronger it can hold onto the other atom, and therefore it's able to pull it in real tight - making it short and strong both! :) Here's what my chem book says: ---- * A single bond has a bond order of 1. * a double bond has a bond order of 2. * A triple bond has a bond order of 3. In a given pair of atoms, a higher bond order results in a shorter bond lengthand a higher bond energy. A shorter bond is a stronger bond. *Information from Chapter 9 in Silberberg's CHEMISTRY: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change. 4 Ed. pp 341 - 342.


Why does the second carbon atom in propene only have one hydrogen-carbon bond?

The second carbon in propene only has one attached hydrogen atom because it already has three other bonds, and carbon generally forms four bonds in total. There are two carbon-carbon sigma bonds, and one carbon-carbon pi bond. Thus, the second carbon can only bond to one hydrogen atom.


How CO is monodentate?

CO is monodentate because it can donate only one lone pair of electrons through the carbon atom to form a coordinate covalent bond with a metal ion or atom. This creates a stable complex known as a metal carbonyl complex.

What is the difference between single covalent bonds and multiple covalent bonds?

In a single bond there is only a strong sigma bond on the other hand in multiple bond there is a sigma & one or two pi bond, weaker than sigma, which provied addition reactions in a molecule.

What functional groups does formaldehyde contain?

Formaldehyde, as its name implies, is an aldehyde. Thus, it contains a carbonyl (CHO) functional group. This group consists of a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom. The carbonyl group is the only functional group contained in formaldehyde.

Why a triple bond should not have 2 sigma bonds?

Sigma bonds lie along the bond axis - between any two atoms you can only have one sigma bond along the axis. Triple bonds encountered in organic chemistry have 1 sigma and two pi bonds( pi bons are "at right angles" to one another and the electron density is between the atoms but does not lie along the bond axis.


How many bonds are present in one double bond and one single bond?

In one double bond, there are 2 bonds (1 σ bond and 1 π bond), and in one single bond, there is 1 bond (1 σ bond). So in total, there are 3 bonds present (1 σ bond and 1 π bond from the double bond, and 1 σ bond from the single bond).


Is urea is a saturated compound?

No, urea is not a saturated compound. It contains a carbonyl group (C=O) which makes it a carbonyl compound, not a saturated compound. Saturated compounds have single bonds only.


Which combination of bonds is present in this molecule 0 equals 0 1 sigma bond only 1sigma bond andpi bond 2 pi bonds or 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds?

The molecule O=O is an O2 molecule. Oxygen is a diatomic compound, which means, that in nature, you will find oxygen only in the following form - O2, and not as O alone. The answer to your question is - 1 sigma bond and 1 pie bond. The bond formed between the two atoms is a covalent bond: The covalent bond is essentially formed by a balance of electrostatic repulsion and attraction forces - while the two nucleuses and the electrons of each atom repulse each other, the nucleuses each attract electrons. If the atoms are close enough to one another, they will form a covalent bond, sharing electron pairs. When the covalent bond is formed, the incomplete orbitals of each atom combine. For example - in the case, each hydrogen atom has a 1s orbital with only one electron, and strives to complete that orbital with a second electron. When the two hydrogen atoms bond, they share a 1s orbital, containing both electrons, the bond is called a sigma bond. This theory is known as the molecular orbital theory. When two atoms bond, they can share more than one electron pair, for example, in the case of , in which each oxygen atom "donates" two electrons to the covalent bond, filling the 2p orbital of both. This is called a double bond, containing one sigma bond and one pie bond. The sigma bond is stronger, and less likely to break. However, the pie bond compresses the bond and makes the two atoms closer to one another. A triple bond is also possible.
