Polarity refers to the pull of electrons. Some elements like Fluorine and Oxygen pull electrons closer to them in their bonds (electronegativity), meaning they don't share them equally. So if they pull them closer, there is polarity in the molecule because there's a pull of electrons between atoms.

A fish tank holds 29 gal of water. Using the density of 1.00 g/mL for water, determine the number of pounds of water in the fish
vova2212 [387]
1. Convert gallons to mL. 1 gal = 3785.4117840007 mL, multiply that by 29 and get 109776.94173602 mL.

2. Since there is one gram per every mL, there are 109776.94173602 g of water in the fish tank.

3. Convert g to pounds. 1 g = 0.0022 pounds. Multiply 109776.94173602 by 0.0022 and end up with about 241.5 pounds of water.

Which explains the information needed to calculate speed and velocity?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance

Explanation:

For calculating speed we require time and distance because speed is defined as the distance per unit time and as speed is a scalar quantity it does not have any direction

But for calculating the velocity we require time as well as displacement because velocity is defined as the displacement per unit time and as velocity is a vector quantity it has direction

Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial position and the final position and it has a specified direction as well
