Molecules can be either positively or negatively charged depending upon their elemental arrangement

They are positively or negatively charged based on their electrical configuration of electrons*
For example an electronic configuration of 2,8,3 would have a negative charge if +3 since it needs to lose 3 electrons to gain the electrical configuration of a noble gas
2,8,1 would have a charge of +1 for the same reason
2,8,6 would be -2 since it is easier to gain 2 electrons that lose 6 electrons

Hope this helped :))

What is the percent composition of the u.s quarter, which has the mass of 5.670g
Vitek1552 [10]
The percent composition of each element can be calculated as follows:
% composition = (mass of element / total mass) * 100

The total mass of the quarter is given to be 5.670 grams
Mass of Cu = 5.198 grams
Mass of Ni = 0.472 grams

Substitute in the above equation to get the mass percentage of each element as follows:
% of Cu = (5.198/5.670) * 100 = 91.675%
% of Ni = (0.472/5.670) * 100 = 8.325%

For each of the following substituents, indicate whether it withdraws electrons inductively, donates electrons by hyperconjugati
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Br- Withdraws electrons inductively

       Donates electrons by resonance

CH2CH3 - Donates electrons by hyperconjugation

NHCH3- Withdraws electrons inductively

              Donates electrons by resonance

OCH3 -  Withdraws electrons inductively

              Donates electrons by resonance

+N(CH3)3 - Withdraws electrons inductively

                   

Explanation:

A chemical moiety may withdraw or donate electrons by resonance or inductive effect.

Halogens are electronegative elements hence they withdraw electrons by inductive effect. However, they also contain lone pairs so the can donate electrons by resonance.

Alkyl groups donate electrons by hyperconjugation involving hydrogen atoms.

-NHCH3  and contain species that have lone pair of electrons which can be donated by resonance. Also, the nitrogen and oxygen atoms are very electron withdrawing making the carbon atom to have a -I inductive effect.

+N(CH3)3 have no lone pair and is strongly electron withdrawing by inductive effects.

When road contractors are laying cement,they first place a series of steel rods in a specific patterns. the they pour the cement
Anna11 [10]
The steel rods will enable the concrete to form without any bumps and it will add shape to the cement and strength, so no odd massive lumps are formed.

That is what I think anyways :)
