Answer:

The right choice is c. Water molecules have a weakly positive hydrogen end.

Explanation:

The unequal sharing of electrons in water molecule gives a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom ( see image below) and a slight positive charge near its hydrogen atoms. A neutral molecule that has a partial positive charge at one end and a partial negative charge at the other, it is a polar molecule.

a. Water molecules have a nonpolar bond.

It is wrong choice because water has polar bond .

b. Water molecules have a weakly positive oxygen end.

Also, a wrong choice due to water molecule gives a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom.

c. Water molecules have a weakly positive hydrogen end.

This is the right choice.

d. Water molecules have two oxygen and two hydrogen atoms

It is wrong choice because water has one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms

So, the right choice is

c. Water molecules have a weakly positive hydrogen end.

Answer:

A. 97.8 mm

Explanation:

There are 10 divisions between 9 cm (90 mm) and the end of the ruler (10 cm or 100 mm).

Each division equals 1 mm.

Each 5 mm mark has a longer tick, and the dashed red line is between the 97 mm and 98 mm marks.

You would normally estimate to the nearest tenth of a division. An estimate of 0.8 mm is reasonable.

The length of the object is 97.0 mm + 0.8 mm = 97.8 mm.

B is wrong. You can't possibly estimate to the nearest hundredth of a division.

C is wrong. The dashed red line slightly before the 98 mm mark.

D is wrong. If the dashed red line were exactly on the 98 mm mark, you would record the measurement as 98.0 mm. This indicates that you measured the object to zero tenths on either side of the mark.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

c and d are correct

Explanation:

In A, false because in Valence Electrons, the more the valences, the more stable an atom is.

In B, false because atoms cannot readily gain or lose valence electrons as the number of valence electrons is determined by the column they are in.

In C, true because the more the valence electrons, the more the stability of an atom.

In D, true as electron placing is important and the reactivity of an atom is important.

So C and D are true!

You are given an unknown gaseous binary compound (that is, a compound consisting of two different elements). when 10.0 g of the

Luda [366]

Answer is: a possible identity for the unknown compound is C₃H₈.

m(binary compound) = 10.0 g.

m(H₂O) = 16.3 g; mass of water.

M(O₂) = 32 g/mol; molar mass of oxygen.

M(binary compound) = 1.38 · 32 g/mol.

M(binary compound) = 44.16 g/mol.

n(binary compound) = 10 g ÷ 44.16 g/mol.

n(binary compound) = 0.225 mol; amount of substance.

n(H₂O) = 16.3 g ÷ 18 g/mol.

n(H₂O) = 0.9 mol; amount of water.

m(H₂O) : n(binary compound) = 0.9 mol ÷ 0.225 mol.

m(H₂O) : n(binary compound) = 4 : 1.

Unknown cpmpound has 4 times more hydrogen than water, it has 8 hydrogen atoms.

Second element in compound is carbon:

M(X) = 44.16 g/mol - 8 · 1.01 g/mol.

M(X) = 36.08 g/mol ÷ 3.

M(C) = 12.01 g/mol.
