Chapter 1: Q24d E (page 27)

What are likely formulas for the following molecules?

(a) NH?OH (b) AlCl? (c) CF2Cl? (d) CHO?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The chemical formula isCH2O.

Step by step solution

01

Carbon bonds

Carbon is in group 4 A of the periodic table and forms four bonds which can either be a single or double bond. It can form four single bonds or two single or one double bond, or two double bonds.

02

Fundamentals about carbon

As carbon has four valence electrons, itneeds to share four more electrons to make an octet. Carbon bonds to two more hydrogen atoms to attain the octet configuration.

03

The chemical formula for the molecule

Thus, the possible formula of the given compound isCH2O .
