Answer:

b) water molecule has a bent shape

Explanation:

In the context of chemical bonds, polarity refers to the separation of charges i.e. the distribution of electrons between the atoms constituting the bond. This charge separation creates a dipole.

Similarly polar molecules are made of polar bonds in which the bond dipoles add up such that there is a net dipole moment.

In water(H2O), the central O atom is more electronegative than H which creates a dipole directed towards the O atom. In addition, due bent shape of H2O the dipole moments add up (instead of cancelling out if it were linear) resulting in a net dipole which makes water polar.

Can someone please explain this to me? I need help ​
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The order would be: X-Rays, Visible Light, and Infrared Waves.

X-Rays have the shortest wavelength out of all three, then Visible Light, and Infrared Waves have the longest wavelength of the three.

Explanation:

So basically, the LONGER the wavelength, the lower the energy. and the SHORTER the wavelength, the higher the energy. For example, Radio waves are the WEAKEST out of all the types of waves because they have the LONGEST wavelengths. Gamma Rays are the STRONGEST out of all the types of waves because they have the SHORTEST wavelengths. So Radio Waves have the lowest energy, and Gamma Rays have the highest energy.

Here is a list of all the types of waves in order from shortest wavelength to longest wavelengths:

Gamma Rays (Shortest Wavelengths, High Energy), then X-Rays would be the second strongest, then Ultraviolet waves, then Visible Light, then Infrared waves, then Microwaves, and lastly Radio Waves (Longest Wavelengths, Low Energy).

Will calcium metal react with chromium (III) chloride? Explain your answer
iren [92.7K]

Calcium metal with chromium(III) chloride would react. Calcium metal is more reactive than chromium metal; therefore, putting calcium metal in chromium chloride would create a reaction, where as putting chromium metal in calcium chloride would not form any reaction.

The concentration of hydrogen in soil sample 13 * 10 ^ - 6 * M the soil is tested with a pH meter, what value should the meter r
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

pH = 4.9

Explanation:

Given data

[H⁺] = 13 × 10⁻⁶ M

The pH is a scale used to determine <em>the acidity or basicity of a solution</em>. The pH is related to the concentration of hydrogen ions through the following expression.

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 13 × 10⁻⁶

pH = 4.9

Since the pH < 7, the soil is considered to be acid.

ella [17]

Answer:

hi! I'm pretty sure your answer is solvent!

Explanation:

not 100% sure but I looked it up on google. solvent does the dissolving, solute is what is being dissolved, and a solution is the solvent + the solute. hope this helped!
