Sahil watched a demonstration in which a scientist combined two substances in a sealed container and analyzed the results. The ending substances did not look the same as the starting substances.

Sahil was given a diagram with the repeating groups of atoms that make up the starting substances, plus information about the properties of the starting and ending substances. He created a model of the repeating groups of atoms that might make up the two ending substances.

Does his model correctly show why the properties of the ending substances are different from the properties of the starting substances? Describe what could be correct or incorrect about his model.

the atomic number of carbon is six, which means that a carbon atom has six protons. carbon has three naturally occurring isotopes: carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. which of these statements are true about carbon and its isotopes? select all that appl

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
