alkenes a. none of the above b. are relatively polar compounds c. are reasonably soluble in water d. have lower boiling points than alcohols of similar molecular weight

have lower boiling points than alcohols of similar molecular weights.

Explanation:

Alkenes are hydrocarbons of the general molecular formula CnH2n. Alkenes are nonpolar hydrocarbons that are insoluble in water.

We must recall that alcohols are able to associate in water due to hydrogen bonding. This causes alcohols to have a relatively higher boiling point than alkenes of comparable molecular weight. Hencethe answer above.

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
