based on the molecular structures shown in the figure, which molecule is likely to be solid at room temperature?

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.

b) nuclear ive learned that in a pedtrodic table

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
