Why are the molecules of hydrocarbons nonpolar?

<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>

Hello <3 I just need some help with periodic table of elements.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

An atomic number of 11 means this atom will have 11 protons. A mass number of 23 means 23 - 11 this atom will have 12 neutrons. Since this atom is neutral the positive protons must be equal to the negative electrons. This atom will have 11 electrons

Hydrates that have a low vapor pressure and remove moisture from air are said to be ___. Question 8 options: effloresce hygrosco

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Hygroscopic

Explanation:

An hygroscopic substance is one that absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and becomes wet. Their ability to remove water from air is less than that of deliquescent substances. Most of the solid hygroscopic substances forms pasty substances and not solutions like the deliquescent compounds.

Examples are sodium trioxonitrate(v), copper(ii) oxide e.t.c

Efflorescence compounds gives off their water of crystallization to the atmosphere.
