Answer: if it was planar the center of the negative forces and the center of the positive forces would be at the same place, meaning no di-poles would form so it wouldnt be polar. as it is polar it therefore cannot be planar. the neagative center(pole) is above the the positive one due to the pair of unbonded electrons.

A block of metal has a volume of 14.0in3 and weighs 5.26lb .

natulia [17]

Mass of block, m = 5.26 lb
1 lb = 453.592 g
5.26 lb = 2385.896 g
V = 14 in3
1 in = 2.5 cm
1 in3 = 15.625 cm3
14 in3 = 218.75 cm3

Density = mass/volume
= 2358.896 / 218.75
= 10.783 g/cm3

Which of the following compounds is a gas at room temperature? A : CH3CH2OH B : CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 C : CH3CH2CH3 D : HOCH2CH2

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

C. $CH_3CH_2CH_3$

Explanation:

Molecules with the stronger intermolecular forces are pulled tightly together to form solid at higher temperatures and that's why the freezing point is higher.

Also, molecules with the stronger intermolecular force have greater interaction between the molecules and thus on heating do not boil easily and have high boiling point also.

Thus, melting point and boiling point increases with increase in number of carbon atoms and also increase in intermolecular forces (like hydrogen bonding, if present).

Thus, the compound which is gas at room temperature is $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ because it has least number of carbon atoms and absence of hydrogen bonding.
