Según el modelo de Empédocles, ¿se podrá explicar los estados de
agregación de la materia?

i just learnt this recently but i need to look through my notes again

1 is the answer to this problem

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.
