Concept explainers
a.
Interpretation:
The number of electrons shared between two carbon atoms in carbon-carbon single bond needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The bond formed between two atoms by evenly sharing of electrons between two atoms is said to be covalent bond.
a.
Answer to Problem 45A
The number of electrons shared between two carbon atoms in carbon-carbon single bond is 2.
Explanation of Solution
In carbon-carbon single bond, one electron from each atom is required in order to share evenly between two C atoms to form the bond. So, the number of electrons shared between two carbon atoms in carbon-carbon single bond is 2.
b.
Interpretation:
The number of electrons shared between two carbon atoms in carbon-carbon double bond needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The bond formed between two atoms by evenly sharing of electrons between two atoms is said to be covalent bond.
b.
Answer to Problem 45A
The number of electrons shared between two carbon atoms in carbon-carbon double bond is 4.
Explanation of Solution
In carbon-carbon double bond, two electrons from each atom is required in order to share evenly between two C atoms to form the bond. So, the number of electrons shared between two carbon atoms in carbon-carbon double bond is 4.
c.
Interpretation:
The number of electrons shared between two carbon atoms in carbon-carbon triple bond needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The bond formed between two atoms by evenly sharing of electrons between two atoms is said to be covalent bond.
c.
Answer to Problem 45A
The number of electrons shared between two carbon atoms in carbon-carbon triple bond is 6.
Explanation of Solution
In carbon-carbon triple bond, three electrons from each atom is required in order to share evenly between two C atoms to form the bond. So, the number of electrons shared between two carbon atoms in carbon-carbon triple bond is 6.
