How does substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon affect the resulting compound? a. all the single bonds in the original molecule change to double bonds. b. the boiling point of the new compound increases. c. the bonds between the carbon atoms in the molecule become weaker. d. the resulting compound is called a saturated hydrocarbon. e. the substitution allows each carbon atom to accept more than four valence electrons.

Substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. A is wrong.

- the bond with Hydrogen is as strong as with a Halogen. C is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. We do not know that so D is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. E is wrong.

By elimination, the correct answer is B. The boiling point of the new compound increases.

the answer would be c

b is the correct answer
