Answer:
SiH4 is nonpolar and BBr3 is nonpolar and SiF4 is nonpolar.
Explanation:
SiH4 is a non-polar compound. Though the Si–H bonds are polar, as a result of different electronegativities of Si and H. However, as there are 4 electron repulsions around the central Si atom, the polar bonds are arranged symmetrically around the central atom having a tetrahedral shape hence they cancel out making the compound nonpolar.
SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule because the fluorine atoms are arranged symetrically around the central silicon atom in a tetrahedral molecule with all of the regions of negative charge cancelling each other out just like in SiH4.
The 3 bromine atoms all lie in the same plane thus the geometry of the compound will be trigonal planar. The BBr3 will be non polar because the three B-Br bonds will cancel out each others' dipole moment given that they are in the same plane.
Atoms that have lost or gained one or more electrons are called ions.
Answer:
a) increases
b) decreases
c) does not change
d) increases
Explanation:
The vapour pressure of a liquid is dependent on;
I) the magnitude of intermolecular forces
II) the temperature of the liquid
Hence, when any of these increases, the vapour pressure increases likewise.
Similarly, the boiling point of a liquid depends on the magnitude of intermolecular forces present because as intermolecular forces increases, more energy is required to break intermolecular bonds.
Lastly, increase in surface area of a liquid does not really affect it's vapour pressure.
A. Air expands, becomes less dense and rises when the temperature is high due to the increased kinetic energy. This causes the air molecules to move around much more so they are further apart.
