A quantitative observation is not necessarily more useful than a non-quantitative one. However, quantitative observations do allow one to find trends.

(a), the sun rising is a non-quantitative observation.

(b), knowledge of the numerical relationship between the weight on the Moon and on Earth, is a quantitative observation.

(c), watching ice float on water does not involve a measurement; therefore, it must be a qualitative observation.

(d) the fact that we know that the water pump won’t work for depths more than 34 feet makes it quantitative. Again, seeing numbers is a giveaway that it’s a quantitative <span>observation. Quantitative is where you deal with numbers.</span>

Answer:

From least polar covalent to most polar covalent;

S-I< Br-Cl < N-H< Te-O

From most ionic to least ionic

Cs-F> Sr-Cl> Li- N> Al-O

Explanation:

Electro negativity refers to the ability of an atom in a bond to attract the shared electrons of the bond towards itself.

Electro negativity difference between two atoms is a key player in the nature of bond that exists between any two atoms. A large difference in electron negativity leads to an ionic bond while an intermediate difference in electro negativity leads to a polar covalent bond.

Based on electro negativity differences, the bonds in the answer have been arranged in order of increasing polar covalent nature or decreasing ionic nature.

timama [110]

Answer:

Silver, 0.239 J/(g °C)

Explanation:

  • The heat change is related to specific heat as given by the formula;

Heat change = mass of substance × specific heat × change in temperature

  • Therefore; considering same amount of substance or equal masses and have the same initial temperature.
  • The change in temperature will be inversely proportional to the specific heat.
  • Therefore; the higher the specific heat lower the temperature change.
  • Hence,  the change in temperature will be highest for the substance with the lowest specific heat.

Therefore; the one that will increase in temperature the most is Silver

Determine if these molecules and ion are polar.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

a. Polar

b. Polar

c. Non-polar

d. Non-polar

Explanation:

a. H_3O^+, hydronium cation contains a positive charge. Just as any other ion, it is polar, as it has a net charge.

b. H_2S has the same shape as water. There are two lone pairs on sulfur atom which produce an overall dipole moment in this molecule, the bent structure is polar.

c. PCl_5 is non-polar, as the central atom, phosphorus, doesn't contain any lone pairs, all the dipole moments cancel out: two dipole moments in the vertical plane, P-Cl, and three P-Cl dipoles in the horizontal plane within a trigonal bipyramidal shape.

d. CF_4 is non-polar, since it's a tetrahedral molecule with no lone pairs on carbon atom, all four C-F dipole moments cancel out to yield a net 0 dipole moment.
