                                   Answer»  There is a carbon-carbonsigma bondand four carbon-hydrogensigma bonds. So ethene contains 1pi bondbetween the two carbon atoms and 5sigma bondsin total. There are 5sigma bonds(strong) and 1pi bond(weak) in ethene. There are 4 (C-H)bonds(sigma) and 1 (C-C)bond(sigma).The valency of carbon is 4.  |

| 
                                   Answer»  1. Ionic bonding. Because the cation ammonium (NH4) has a single electron in its valence shell, and Chlorine needs a single electron to fill its valence shell, it takes that one, and they stick together.2. It also consists of covalent bond present in Ammonium ion between Nitrogen and Hydrogen atoms and one co-ordinate bond between one hydrogen and nitrogen.  |

| 
                                   Answer»  a) Carbons are the bad conductors of the electricity because the carbon atoms do not have any free electron which is in the conduction band. They are not able to conduct in the room temperature so, if you increase the temperature of the room, then the electrons will start acquiring energy and will start contributing to the conduction. b) Any cycloalkane can be the answer.Cyclopentane (C5H10) or cyclohexane (C6H12) are two examples. All these have the general formula CnH2n.Since all the cycloalkanes contain single bonds, they are saturated.  |

| 
                                   Answer»  Carbon compounds are poor conductors of electricity as they form covalent bonds, so it does not give rise to free electrons ( all electrons are used in making the covalent bond) and as a carbon compound does not dissociate itself into ions, therefore carbon compounds are poor conductors of electricity.  |

                                    carbon compounds are largely non conductors of electricity, thus the bonding in these compounds does not give rise to any ions. HOW, EXPLAIN? | 
                            
| 
                                   Answer»  Most of the carbon compounds do not conduct electricity because they have low melting and boiling points.Nature of bonding in carbon compounds is different from that observed in ionic compounds thus they are poor conductors of electricity.Bonding in carbon compounds does not involve the formation of ions which indicates the absence of ions in carbon compounds.So we can say that in carbon compounds, the bonding between carbon and other atoms is non-ionic in nature.  |

Mass of sugar before addition to the solution = 20 g Mass of sugar after addition to the solution = 20 +20 = 40 g Mass of water in solution= 80 g = Total mass of solution= 80 g + 40 g = 120 g In case of Ishaan, 50% of sugar solution from which he evaporated 20 g of water. Mass of sugar in solution = 50 g Mass of water before evaporation= 50 g Mass of water after evaporation = 50 g - 20 g = 30 g  = Total mass of solution=50 g + 30 g = 80 g After mixing both the solution Total mass of sugar after the mixing of solutions,(M) = 40 g + 50 g = 90 g Total mass of the final solution= =120 g + 80 g = 200 g Mass percentage of sugar in final solution= The concentration by mass of final solution is 45%  |

| 
                                   Answer»  The process of waste paper recycling most often involves mixing used/old paper with water and chemicals to break it down. It is then chopped up and heated, which breaks it down further into strands of cellulose, a type of organic plant material; this resulting mixture is called pulp, or slurry. It is strained throughscreens, which remove any glue orplastic(especially fromplastic-coated paper) that may still be in the mixture then cleaned, de-inked, bleached, and mixed with water. Then it can be made into new recycled paper. Can u also tell the major steps  |

| 
                                   Answer»  Advantages of Biogas 1. Biogas is Eco-Friendly Biogas is a renewable, as well as a clean, source of energy. Gas generated through biodigestion is non-polluting; it actually reduces greenhouse emissions (i.e. reduces the greenhouse effect). No combustion takes place in the process, meaning there is zero emission of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere; therefore, using gas from waste as a form of energy is actually a great way to combat global warming. Unsurprisingly, concern for the environment is a major reason why the use of biogas has become more widespread. Biogas plants significantly curb the greenhouse effect: the plants lower methane emissions by capturing this harmful gas and using it as fuel. Biogas generation helps cut reliance on the use of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal. Another biogas advantage is that, unlike other types of renewable energies, the process is natural, not requiring energy for the generation process. In addition, the raw materials used in the production of biogas are renewable, as trees and crops will continue to grow. Manure, food scraps, and crop residue are raw materials that will always be available, which makes it a highly sustainable option.  |

| 
                                   Answer»  Combination bands describes weak absorptions in IR spectra corresponding to the sum of two or more fundamental vibrational frequencies. These combination modes arise from the anharmonicities of the oscillators which leads to an interaction of the vibrational states in polyatomic molecules.  |

                                    FI am not getting the same resultwhen using solid baking sodaon dry litmus paper. Why? | 
                            
| 
                                   Answer»  The solid baking soda does not change colour of dry litmus paper because in solid states ions are not free to move. And solution of baking soda in water leads to change in the colour of dry litmus paper because in water baking soda dissociate into ions and ions leads to change in colour of litmus paper.  |
