I will rewrite this question so the options are presented more clearly:

Rank in increasing polarity the carbon-nitrogen single, double and triple bonds.

a) not enough information to compare
b) triple < double < single
c) all have the same polarity
d) single < double < triple

The answer we are looking for is b) triple < double < single.

We determine bond polarity by comparing the electronegativities of the two atoms involved in the bond, in this case carbon-nitrogen. Nitrogen is more electronegative than carbon, with electronegativities of 3.04 and 2.55, respectively. You may expect that the electronegativities of the atoms remains the same in each bond, but this is not the case.

In the case of a C-N single bond, the carbon atom is sp³ hybridized. In a C=N double bond, the carbon is sp² hybridized. The more s-character an atom has leads to an increase in the electronegativity of the atom since s-orbitals hold the electrons much tighter. By increasing the s-character of the carbon atom from sp³ to sp², we are increasing the electronegativity which leads to a decrease in the difference in electronegativities between carbon and nitrogen. Therefore, a C-N single bond is more polar than a C=N double bond. This trend continues with a C≡N as the carbon now is sp hybridized with even more s-character and becomes more electronegative still, thus decreasing the polarity further.

What type of cryptography uses two keys instead of just one, generating both a private and a public key?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

It is known as asymmetric key cryptography it is also called public key cryptography.

Explanation:

Asymmetric key cryptography method makes use of two keys.One is used for encryption and the second one for decryption. The public key serves to encrypt plain text or verify a digital signature, while the private key is used to decrypt or decipher the encrypted text or to create a digital signature.

the average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas increases as the temperature of the gas increases. explain​
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Explanation: Volume versus Temperature: Raising the temperature of a gas increases the average kinetic energy and therefore the rms speed (and the average speed) of the gas molecules. Hence as the temperature increases, the molecules collide with the walls of their containers more frequently and with greater force.

HELP!!!
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

2.5 × 10⁻⁵ M H₃O⁺ and 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁰ M OH⁻.

Explanation:

<em>∵ pH = - log[H₃O⁺]</em>

∴ 4.6 = - log[H₃O⁺].

∴ log[H₃O⁺] = - 4.6.

∴ [H₃O⁺] = 2.51 x 10⁻⁵.

∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.

[H₃O⁺] = 2.51  x 10⁻⁵ M.

∴ [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/[H₃O⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴/(2.51  x 10⁻⁵ M) = 3.98 × 10⁻¹⁰ M ≅ 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁰ M.

<em>So, the right choice is: 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ M H₃O⁺ and 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁰ M OH⁻.</em>
