Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a solid, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial place but they can vibrate at their mean position.

Hence, in solid substances the molecules have low kinetic energy.

Whereas in liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have medium kinetic energy.
In gases, the molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. Hence, they have high kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly from one place to another leading to more number of collisions.

Hence, gases are able to expand more rapidly as compared to liquids.

In plasma state, there is hot ionized gas which contains positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons.

In plasma state, molecules move much more rapidly than molecules of a gas.

Thus, we can conclude that solid state of matter has least amount of kinetic energy.

Explain what makes a covalently bonded molecule polar. Use the molecules of CH4 and CH3F as examples in your explanation.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The magnitude of electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond determines whether that bond will be polar or not.

If the electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond is about 1.7, the bond is ionic. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 0.4 and less than 1.7, the bond will have a polar covalent character. Lastly, if the electronegativity difference between the bond is less than or equal to 0.4, the covalent bond is non polar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is about 0.4 which corresponds to a nonpolar covalent bond hence the molecule is nonpolar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and fluorine is about 1.5 indicating a highly polar bond. This gives CH3F an overall dipole moment thereby making the molecule polar.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

less than 5 centimeters because it is a nonvascular plant

Explanation:

Mosses are a group of plants under the division Bryophyta. They are said to be the most primitive plant life in existence as they lack true roots, stems and leaves. They also lack vascular system, hence, they are regarded as non-vascular plants. They usually grow in very small sizes (about 0.2 - 10cm).

According to this question, Penny bought a club moss plant for her water garden and needs to know how tall the plant will grow so she know how much space it will need. Since it is a miss plant that lacks vascular tissues i.e. nonvascular, it will likely grow less than 5 centimeters in height.

Whats the difference between covalent and ionic bonds

il63 [147K]

Answer: The two main types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent bonds. An ionic bond essentially donates an electron to the other atom participating in the bond, while electrons in a covalent bond are shared equally between the atoms. The only pure covalent bonds occur between identical atoms.Jan 23, 2020

At 580 k, 6. 42% of the molecules are in the chair form. calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction as wri

Ann [662]

Equilibrium chemical reaction between chair and boat forms is:
Kc = $\frac{[Boat form]}{[Chair form]}$
Suppose the total number of molecules is x
Number of molecules of chair form is 6.42/100 x
Number of molecules of boat form is 93.58/100 x
Kc = $\frac{(0.9358x)}{(0.0642x)}$ = 14.6
