Which of the following describes a double bond between two carbon atoms? 1 a double bond will produce four single bonds to form a tetrahedral shape. 2 a double bond between carbon atoms will eventually form a ring of carbons. 3 a double bond between carbon atoms is longer than a triple bond between carbon atoms. 4 a double bond will quickly reduce to single bonds to create three-dimensional tetrahedrals.

The correct answer is Option 3.

Explanation:

Carbon atom is the 6th element of the periodic table. The valence electrons of this element are 4. This element requires 4 electrons to attain stable electronic configuration.

This element can form single bond, double bond and triple bond will the same element that is carbon.

If more number of bond are formed between the atoms, it means that the bond strength of that bond will be more because the orbitals come closer to each other.

And bond strength is inversely proportional to the bond length.

Thus, single bond will have the lowest bond strength and highest bond length.

Then, will come double bond which has more bond strength than single bond and shorter bond length than single bond.

Then, will come the triple bond which has more bond strength than double bond and shorter bond length than double bond.

Order for bond length follows:

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
