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.

H2s + h2o h3o+ + hs- identify the bronsted-lowry base(s) in the above equation. (select all that apply.)
gregori [183]
  The  Bronsted  base in  H2S  +H2O  →  H3O^+  + HS^-  is  H2O

     Explanation
According to  Bronsted  Lowry     definition  of an  base , that is  a  base  is  a compound that   act as a protons  acceptor.   These  protons  are in form of  hydrogen     ions .    H2O  in  the above  equation   accept  one hydrogen   ions  to  form   H3O^+

Why is the ideal gas law useful although ideal gases do not exist
babymother [125]
I think it would be useful because then a gas station would have to save gas, instead of selling it all. But, for this question Im not to sure. Is this a multiple choice question_

HELP!!!!!!PLZ!!!!!ASAP!!!!!
AfilCa [17]
It is an open series circuit and this is why:
 
its obvious its a series circuit because all the symbols are in a straight rectangle. 
its an open circuit because an open circuit has something that doesn't allow the electrons to flow all the way. and the thing blocking the electrons it the switch which is open, (off).

Hope this helped!! sorry its late!!

Which statement correctly describes an atom of the element helium? (9)
Luden [163]

C. An atom of helium has its valence electrons in its first energy level, it wouldn't and can't satisfy the Octet rule as it only has 2 electrons, but with 2, it has a full shell, as the first energy level can hold only 2 electrons.
