The compound ethylene (c2h4) is represented by this diagram. what statement best describes the arrangement of the atoms in an ethylene molecule?

Each hydrogen atom shares two electrons with each carbon atom, forming single covalent bonds, and the carbon atoms share four electrons between them, forming a double bond (two covalent bonds between the same pair of atoms).

Explanation:

This is a representation of the compound ethylene, C₂H₄, that shows the arrangement of the atoms (bonds):

   H   H

    |     |

   C = C

   |      |

  H    H

The single lines (vertical dashes in this particular case) represent single covalent bonds, which are the result of sharing one pair (two) electrons between the given atoms, and the double lines ( two horizontal dashes) represent double bonds, which means that the carbon atoms are sharing two pair (four) electrons.

answer would be letter choice (a),   a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy   >   stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger   >   kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground   >   kinetic energy   > moving energy

a   ball flying through the air   > kinetic energy   >   moving energy

hope that                                         : )
