The correct answer is C, the theory of plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that describes the movement of the seven large plates and several smaller plates of the Earth's upper layer (the Lithosphere). This theory is based on the theory of the continental drift, developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912.

Which of the following explains why water is a good solvent for polar and ionic compounds?
Anni [7]

Hi there!

<u>Electronegativity</u> is the concept of how likely an atom is to attract the shared molecules in one of these bonds to itself. We know the molecule water is made up of two hydrogens and one oxygen. The electronegativity of hydrogen is 2.2, and oxygen 3.4. An <u>ionic bond</u> needs at least a difference in electronegativity of 1.6. As the difference is less than that, we can say that water is a covalent molecule. This then wipes out choice B, because it is not ionic, and C, as we have seen it is actually covalent.

Now, we can see the difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen is still 1.2. This means that while it is not at the point for there to be an ionic bond, there is still a difference in attraction, where the electrons will tend to favor the oxygen more and 'hang around it' more. As electrons are <u>negatively charged</u><em><u>,</u></em> this means that the oxygen will gain a slightly negative charge. This then makes the molecule polar, because it now has a charge within the molecule. This means we have our answer, choice D.

In terms of hydrophobic molecules - they tend to be ones without a charge. (If you're interested in this kind of stuff, I'd search hydrophobic up, and possibly also look into hydrogen bonds).

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask me any other questions you have about this specific problem.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Fertilizers are the chemicals that are applied on the agricultural crops to increase the yield of crop and protect them from harmful pests. The fertilizers are rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Karen and Jimmy growing tomato to conduct the research. They conclude that large amount of fertilizer is helpful for plant growth. This is wrong because high fertilizer can decrease the plant growth and may cause the death of plant. The fertilizers are required in the exact amount in the plants and there inappropriate level inhibits the plant growth.
