choose the 3 correct statements. explain
a
There are 6 total bonds formed in the compound.
b
There are 5 total bonds formed in the compound.
c
The bonds between the carbon and oxygen atoms are ionic.
d
The bonds between the carbon and oxygen atoms are polar covalent.
e
The bonds between the carbon and oxygen atoms are nonpolar covalent.
f
The bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen are ionic.
g
The bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen are polar covalent.
h
The bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen are covalent.
The three correct statements are:
b) There are 5 total bonds formed in the compound.
d) The bonds between the carbon and oxygen atoms are polar covalent.
h) The bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen are covalent.
Explanation:
Statement a is incorrect because it states that there are 6 total bonds, while statement b states that there are 5 total bonds.
Statement c is incorrect because it states that the bonds between the carbon and oxygen atoms are ionic, but in reality, these bonds are polar covalent.
Statement e is incorrect because it states that the bonds between the carbon and oxygen atoms are nonpolar covalent, while they are actually polar covalent.
Statement f is incorrect because it states that the bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen are ionic, while in reality, these bonds are covalent.
Statement g is incorrect because it states that the bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen are polar covalent, but in reality, these bonds are covalent nature.
