"The other halogens are not as electronegative and so other hydrogen halides cannot form hydrogen bonds between molecules. Only London Forces are formed. - Therefore more energy is required to break the intermolecular forces in HF than the other hydrogen halides and so it has a higher boiling point."
not a hack link, just stating where i got your answer from! -

Answer:
Explanation:
All three lighter boron trihalides, BX3 (X = F, Cl, Br), form stable adducts with common Lewis bases. Their relative Lewis acidities can be evaluated in terms of the relative exothermicities of the adduct-forming reaction. Such measurements have revealed the following sequence for the Lewis acidity: BF3 < BCl3 < BBr3 (in other words, BBr3 is the strongest Lewis acid).
This trend is commonly attributed to the degree of π-bonding in the planar boron trihalide that would be lost upon pyramidalization (the conversion of the trigonal planar geometry to a tetrahedral one) of the BX3 molecule, which follows this trend: BF3 > BCl3 > BBr3 (that is, BBr3 is the most easily pyramidalized). The criteria for evaluating the relative strength of π-bonding are not clear, however. One suggestion is that the F atom is small compared to the larger Cl and Br atoms, and the lone pair electron in the 2pzorbital of F is readily and easily donated, and overlaps with the empty 2pz orbital of boron. As a result, the [latex]\pi[/latex] donation of F is greater than that of Cl or Br. In an alternative explanation, the low Lewis acidity for BF3 is attributed to the relative weakness of the bond in the adducts F3B-L.
Answer:
Molarity =5.32 M
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of glucose = 239 g
Volume = 250 mL (250 /1000 = 0.25 L)
Molarity = ?
Solution;
Formula:
Molarity = number of moles / volume in litter
Number of moles:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 239 g / 180.2 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.33 mol
Molarity:
Molarity = number of moles / volume in litter
Molarity = 1.33 mol / 0.25 L
Molarity =5.32 M
Answer:
There are 232 calories in the bar
Explanation:
Carbohydrates and protein are both 4 calories per gram, while fat is 9 calories per gram.
1) This is a definition.
2) Protons are given by the bottom number (since atomic number = number of protons).
3) Neutrons = (mass number)-(atomic number), which are the top and bottom numbers, respectively.
4) Nuclear fusion involves combining two things together, which is only reflected by the last option.
5) This is a fact.
6) This is a fact.
7) This is a fact.
8) This is a fact.
9) The correct option is the explanation.
