OpenStudy (jgirl128):

a single displacement reaction is when one element trades places with another element in a compound. I'd have to say that the answer is false, carbon and oxygen form a covalent bond.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not sure but I think it is true. Please correct me if I am wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait isn't this the math section???

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

yeah, it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no science lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait what ? oh

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

he's saying you put the question in the mathematics section

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my bad

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

don't worry about it. since you read through your lesson and learned about single displacement devices and stuff, what do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it was false but i rushed so i'm not completely sure :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Imma go now...

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

an example of a single displacement device is when magnesium replaces hydrogen in water and makes magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. do you think carbon replaces oxygen in carbon dioxide?

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

carbon dioxide itself is made up of 2 oxygen atoms and each are covalently double bonded to a carbon atom

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

aka they're covalently bonded

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

what do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

(it's false) good luck
