Answer to Question #295924 in General Chemistry for Leon Kennedy

Question

True or False.

1. Carbon atoms have the unique ability to form weak bonds with each other in different ways.

2. Carbon forms four covalent bonds, using hybrid atomic orbitals in bond formation.

3. Hybridization involves the mixing and arrangement of pure atomic orbitals resulting in combinations of s, p, and d orbitals, which are identical in stability and reactivity.

4. Alkenes are open-chain hydrocarbons with single covalent bonds between the carbon atoms.

5. Alkanes are open-chain hydrocarbons with at least one double bond between carbon atoms.

6. Hydrocarbons contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms and are the simplest organic compounds.

7. Condensed ring systems are those that consist of two or more benzene rings joined together in chains or rings.

8. Hydrocarbon derivatives are compounds obtained when other elements are added or substituted to the hydrocarbon components during physical reaction.
