Question

1
Which feature is present in both ethene and poly(ethene)?
A bond angles of 109°
B
a covalent bonds
C
o covalent bonds
D sp3 orbitals​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: Element D is the smallest atom amongst the given elements.

Explanation: We are given some elements forming single covalent bond with carbon- element.

So, the bond dissociation of the compound having larger amount will have the smallest atoms because the force of attraction of the nucleus and the electrons on the outermost shell will be more. Hence, more amount of energy will be required to dissociate the bond.

So, from the given information, C-D compound has the highest bond dissociation energy and hence, element D will be the smallest
