Which is a diatomic molecule? A. Ar B. CO C. CO2 D. NaCl
1 answer:
Answer: B. CO
Explanation:
Diatomic molecules are those that are formed by two atoms of the same chemical element (homonuclear diatomic molecule) or different chemical element (heteronuclear diatomic molecule).
In this sense, oxygen is a homonuclear diatomic molecule because it is formed by two atoms of the same element () and Carbon monoxide (
) is heteronuclear diatomic molecule.
Sodium Chloride is not a diatomic molecule because is a product of ionization, but it can be diatomic in its gas phase with a polar covalent bond.

Answer : distance, d = 463.7 m
Explanation :
According to the given condition it can be assumed that the first echo would be heard from closest cliff. The second echo is from farther cliff and the third echo is from the reflection between the two cliffs.
Let the distance between the first cliff and the point of firing is x and y is the distance between the second cliff and the point of firing.
Then the first echo will travel 2x distance, second will travel 2y distance and third will travel 2x +2y.
So, using above data :
and
On solving :
x = 321.9 m and y = 141.8 m
Hence, total distance between two cliffs is d = 321.9 m + 141.8 m = 463.7 m
