In a reduction reaction, a carbon atom forms ___i___ bonds to oxygen atoms or ___ii___ bonds to hydrogen atoms. The statement given above is completed by the information in row
Row i ii
A more the same
B more fewer
C fewer more
D fewer the same
E fewer fewer
Question 27 options:
a) A
b) B
c) C
d) D
e) E
The statement given above is completed by the information in row A (more) and row C (more).
Therefore, the correct answer is option a) A.
are you sure?
Apologies for the mistake. In a reduction reaction, a carbon atom forms fewer i (bonds to oxygen atoms) and more ii (bonds to hydrogen atoms).
Therefore, the correct answer is option D) fewer the same.
The statement given above is completed by the information in row:
Row i ii
A more the same
B more fewer
C fewer more
D fewer the same
E fewer fewer
Based on this information, the correct answer is:
b) B
To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of reduction reactions and the number of bonds carbon forms with oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
In a reduction reaction, the carbon atom gains electrons, typically from another molecule, resulting in a decrease in its oxidation state. Carbon can form different types of bonds, including single, double, and triple bonds.
Now, let's analyze the information given in the statement. It states that in a reduction reaction, a carbon atom forms "___i___" bonds to oxygen atoms and "___ii___" bonds to hydrogen atoms.
Looking at the options, let's consider each one:
Option A: "More the same"
Option B: "More fewer"
Option C: "Fewer more"
Option D: "Fewer the same"
Option E: "Fewer fewer"
It is clear that the number of bonds carbon forms with oxygen or hydrogen atoms cannot be "more" than the same or "fewer" than the same since this would not provide any specific information.
Considering oxygen, carbon can form single bonds (C-O), double bonds (C=O), or triple bonds (C≡O). In the case of hydrogen, carbon typically forms single bonds (C-H).
Based on this, we can conclude that the statement would be completed by the information in row:
i) "fewer" since carbon can have fewer bonds with oxygen atoms.
ii) "the same" since carbon usually forms single bonds with hydrogen atoms.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D: D fewer the same.
