Interpretation:
Nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon atoms has to be contrasted based on the number of covalent bonds that is formed by them in organic compounds.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the important basis of life. They include gasoline, coal, dyes, and clothing fibers etc. The compounds that are obtained from living organisms are termed as organic compounds and those obtained from the earth are known as inorganic compounds. Organic compounds are found in earth also apart from living organisms. All the organic compounds contain the element carbon. Urea was synthesized in the laboratory which is an organic compound.
The number of bonds an atom forms with other atoms depends upon the ability to attain the stable octet configuration of electrons.
Explanation of Solution
Carbon is an element that belongs to group IVA in periodic table. This means the valence electrons present in carbon is four. In order to attain the stable octet configuration of electrons, carbon forms four covalent bonds with other atoms. In
Oxygen is an element that belongs to group VIA in periodic table. This means the valence electrons present in oxygen is six. In order to attain the stable octet configuration of electrons, oxygen forms two covalent bonds with other atoms. In organic chemistry, oxygen atom can form two covalent bonds.
Nitrogen is an element that belongs to Group VA in periodic table. This means the valence electrons present in nitrogen is five. In order to attain the stable octet configuration of electrons, nitrogen forms three covalent bonds with other atoms. In organic chemistry, nitrogen atom can form three covalent bonds.

- For a molecule there are three energy levels: A, B and C. If the transition A → B occurs at 1049 nm and the transition B → C occurs at 885 nm, we can say that the wavelength of the transition A → C will occur at approximately:a) 164 nm b) 1934 nm c) 480 nm d) 967 nmarrow_forward: Naming the Alkanes a) Write the IUPAC nomenclature of the compound below b) Draw 4-isopropyl-2,4,5-trimethylheptane, identify the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbons. c) Rank pentane, neopentane and isopentane for boiling point. pentane: H3C-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 neopentane: CH3 H3C-C-CH3 isopentane: CH3 CH3 H3C-CH2-CH-CH3arrow_forwardAn essential part of the experimental design process is to select appropriate dependent and independent variables.

- 10.00 g of Compound X with molecular formula C₂Hg are burned in a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 40.00 kg of water at 25 °C. The temperature of the water is observed to rise by 2.604 °C. (You may assume all the heat released by the reaction is absorbed by the water, and none by the calorimeter itself.) Calculate the standard heat of formation of Compound X at 25 °C. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forwardneed help not sure what am doing wrong step by step please answer is 971A During the lecture, we calculated the Debye length at physiological salt concentrations and temperature, i.e. at an ionic strength of 150 mM (i.e. 0.150 mol/l) and a temperature of T=310 K. We predicted that electrostatic interactions are effectively screened beyond distances of 8.1 Å in solutions with a physiological salt concentration. What is the Debye length in a sample of distilled water with an ionic strength of 10.0 µM (i.e. 1.00 * 10-5 mol/l)?
