What is the maximum number of hydrogen atoms that can be covalently bonded in a molecule containing two carbon atoms? a) 2b) 3c) 4d) 6e) 8?

           The correct answer is Option-D (6 Hydrogen atoms).

Explanation:

                  Carbon atom has a unique property of linking to it self and making a chain of carbon called as Catenation. In a molecule having two carbon atoms there must be a bond between the two carbon atoms. The bond can be saturated (single bond) or unsaturated (double or triple bond). But as the statement states maximum number of hydrogen atoms so, we will asume the bond between two carbon atoms to be single.

                  As carbon has four valence electrons so, it has the ability to make four single bonds. In given molecule each carbon has already made a single bond with another carbon therefore, each carbon is left with three more unpaired electrons which will make covalent bond with three hydrogen atoms each as shown in attached structure.

answer

i think the answer is a) as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area decreases.
