brainly over here is wrong... the answer is not at all B...i just took my test and got only this question. I am confident that A. a spider walking on the bottom of a leaf

is the right answer to the above question.

<span>In the question ' which of the following most likely require intermolecular force', options A and C given are definitely not the correct answers. Among the items listed in the questions, the one that will most likely required an intermolecular force is a rock maintaing its solid shape. Thus, the correct option is B. Intermolecular forces are forces which maintain chemical interactions between molecules of a particular susbstance and other types of paticles that may be present in the substance. Rocks are made up of differet particles and their structures are held together by different types of intermolecular forces depending on the types of particles present in the rock. Intermolecular forces can only occur among molecules and other particles in a compound that is why the other two options are wrong. Intermolecular force can either be attractive or repulsive. Attraction occurs between molecules of opposite charges, that is, positive and negative charges while repulsion occurs between particles of like charges, for intstance, between positive and positive charges. The Intermolecular forces that exist in a compound maintaings the integrity of the structure of that compound. Intermolecular forces in compounds exist in different forms, we have electrovalent bonds, covalent bonds, hydrogen bond, vander waals forces, etc. The type of molecules that exist in a compound will determine the type of intermolecular forces that will exist among the molecules of that substance. Electrovalent bonds are the strongest type of intermolecular force and it normally exist between metals and non metals. Covalent bonds involved sharing of electrons among the participating elements while vander waals forces are the weakest form of intermolecular forces. Forces are often required to break intermolecular forces apart. Breaking the intermolecular forces apart will destroy the structure of the substance inlvolved.</span>

Determine a detailed mechanism for the chlorination of benzene using cl2 and fecl3.

RUDIKE [14]

Step (1):
Generation of electrophile: by the action of Lewis acid FeCl₃ on Cl₂ to serve as a source of Cl⁺ (Electrophile)
Step (2):
Addition of electrophile to form carbocation:
addition of electrophile to form C-Cl bond and form carbocation which is stabilized by resonance.
Step (3):
Loss of proton to re-form the aromatic ring by the action of FeCl₄⁻ which removes proton from carbon containing Cl and forming the aromatic ring again

CLIC 3. The blank is the central part of an atom.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).

How does dissolving salt in water allow electric current to flow?

Mumz [18]

Salt is an ionic compound NaCI. So the salt will dissolve and spread apart and the ions in the salt will move freely, letting electricity to flow freely....!

Hope i helped! If you need anything else ask me!! :)
