I actually did the math for this a while ago. In order to install solar panels to every house in America it would cost a one time payment of about 900 billion dollars. We spend 700 billion on fossil fuels each year so in two years it would already pay itself off them we'd actually profit from it. Even if you don't believe in global warming you can't argue with that.
Answer:
The predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds:
ammonia (NH3)
methane (CH4)
and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3)
Explanation:
The types of intermolecular forces:
1.Hydrogen bonding: It is a weak electrostatic force of attraction that exists between the hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom like N,O,F.
2.Dipole-dipole interactions: They exist between the oppositely charged dipoles in a polar covalent molecule.
3. London dispersion forces exist between all the atoms and molecules.
NH3 ammonia consists of intermolecular H-bonding.
Methane has London dispersion forces.
Because both carbon and hydrogen has almost similar electronegativity values.
NF3 has dipole-dipole interactions due to the electronegativity variations between nitrogen and fluorine.
Answer: Option (5) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that the ground state electronic configuration of silicon is
.
And, we know that when an atom tends to gain an electron then it acquires a negative charge and when an atom tends to lose an electron then it acquires a positive charge.
As
has a +4 charge which means that it has lost 4 electrons. Hence, the electronic configuration of
is
.
According to the Aufbau principle, in the ground state of an atom or ion the electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest energy levels first, before filling the higher energy levels.
As 2p orbital is filled after the filling of 2s orbital.
Therefore, we can conclude that 2p orbital will be occupied by the electrons of highest energy for the
ground-state ion.
higher temp=faster motion
lower temp=slowed motion
