Answer:- B) $CO_2$

Explanations:- In ammonia, N is the central atom and three H atoms are bonded to it via single bonds.

In carbon dioxide, the central atom is C and two O atoms are bonded to it via double bonds. The reason is, carbon has four valence electrons and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. To complete the octet, each oxygen makes a double bond with carbon. It looks as O=C=O .

Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and to complete its octet, it needs 3 more electrons so both N atoms are bonded to each other via a triple bond.

Cl has 7 valence electrons and needs one more to complete its octet. So, there is a single bond between two Cl atoms.

Hence the right choice is B) $CO_2$ .

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

v = 658.82 km/h

Explanation:

The distance between New York and London is $5.6\times 10^3\ km$

Time taken from New York to London is 8.5 hours

We need to find the average speed of the plane.

Total distance covered divided by the total time taken is equal to the average speed of an object. So,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{5.6\times 10^3\ km}{8.5\ h}\\\\v=658.82\ km/h$

So, the average speed of the plane is 658.82 km/h.
