Question 15

Which of the following statements is not true?

Accepted Answer

The statement "The carbon-carbon triple bond of an alkyne is exactly three times as strong as a carbon-carbon single bond of an alkane" is not true. While it is true that the carbon-carbon triple bond of an alkyne is stronger than the carbon-carbon single bond of an alkane, it is not exactly three times as strong. The actual strength ratio is more complex and influenced by factors such as bond length and molecular structure.

Accepted Answer

The given electron configuration represents a total of 7 valence electrons. The configuration ends with the 2p orbital having 5 electrons (2p^5), which indicates the presence of 5 valence electrons in the 2p orbital, plus the 2 electrons in the 2s orbital, totaling 7 valence electrons.

Question 20

In drawing the Lewis structure for an organic compound,the carbon atoms should always be shown with

Accepted Answer

Carbon atoms should always be shown with eight total electrons in their valence shell to satisfy the octet rule, which is a fundamental principle in drawing Lewis structures for organic compounds. This can be achieved through a combination of single, double, or triple bonds and lone pairs, not necessarily just four single bonds.
