In Section 5.6, we learned that triple bonds are stronger and shorter than single bonds. For example, a C- Csingle bond has an average bond energy of 347 k. J/mole, while a C C triple bond has an average bond energy of 837 k. J/mole. Use valence bond theory to explain why a triple bond is not simply three times as strong as a single bond. A) The C C triple bond is an exception. According to valence bond theory, a triple bond is generally three times as strong as a single bond. B) Because according to valence bond theory, a triple bond is the sharing of four electron pairs.
C) Because according to valence bond theory, a triple bond is actually composed of two different kinds of bonds, one σ and two π

Dying the folding patterns of protein molecules can microbiologists better understand cellular processes as well as some diseases, such as alzheimer’s, that are caused by proteins that have misfolded. the folding of these complicated molecules can be simulated on computers, but it takes a lot of processor power and time for even expensive supercomputers to do this. a group of researchers at stanford university developed software that can be used to distribute the processing of data to anyone who is willing to donate time on their idle personal computers. as a result, the researchers have been able to achieve protein-folding simulations that are far better than those other computing methods have done. which statement best describes the work of these researchers? the work is not scientific because the data are not processed in one location. the work is not scientific because the simulations are not reproducible. the researchers applied creativity to solve a problem in running an experiment. the researchers used only well-established scientific techniques.

Write the balanced equation for a reaction between aqueous nitric acid (hno3) and solid lithium metal (this is a single replacement reaction)

This question is about electrolysis. metal spoons can be coated with silver. this is called electroplating. suggest one reason why spoons are electroplated?
