Why are the molecules of hydrocarbons nonpolar?

Chemistry

Softa [21]4 years ago

<span>Because hydrocarbons consist only C-H bonds, which are non-polar. When you look at the table of electronegativity (Pauling scale), you see, that the difference between the electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen is much smaller than that of nitrogen and hydrogen.

<span>This is not the case in the hydrocarbon tail. The electronegativity of hydrogen and carbon are very similar, so the electron cloud is distributed evenly over the two atoms. Carbon-hydrogen bonds are said to be non-polar because they do not have positive and negative poles within themselves. Hope this helps. </span>

Why do California and Peru both have large deposits of gold?
irinina [24]
Both California and Peru have or have had significant gold deposits because of their proximity to where two tectonic plate boundaries meet. Off the California coast there is the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate which meet at the San Andreas Fault but there also is the Farallon Plate which apparently has subducted somewhat below the North American Plate. Off Peru, the Nazca Plate is subducting under the South American Plate and which has caused the Andean orogeny.

Naily [24]

Answer:

The wood is oak.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of wood = 70 g

Volume of wood = 103 cm³

Wood is oak = ?

Solution:

We will calculate the density of wood then we will compare it with literature value.

Density = mass/ volume

d = 70 g/ 103 cm³

d = 0.68 g/cm³

The density of oak is 0.59 - 0.90 g/cm³.

So its true, wood is oak.
