Water is made of polar molecules, and oil is made of nonpolar molecules. Based on your observations, which molecules attract eac
victus00 [196]

Based on observation of polar and non-polar molecules, polar molecules would attract each other more strongly.

<h3>What are polar and non-polar molecules?</h3>

Polar molecules are those molecules that can ionize or dissociate into their respective positive and negative ions when in an aqueous solution.

Nonpolar molecules, on the other hand, are not ionic i.e. not dissociating into ions when dissolved in water.

Polar molecules like water (H2O) contains an uneven distribution of cations (+) and anions (-), hence, would be more attracted to one another than nonpolar molecules that have an even distribution of ions.

HELP.....From the information presented in the activity series of metals below (4 metals included), answer the following questio
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

a)there would be no reaction

Explanation:

The activity series of metals has many functions. The one applicable to this problem is that it can be used to determine whether a reaction will occur or not. Also, based on the positions of metals in the series, we can know how reactive a metal is compared to another.

In a single displacement reaction, a metal replaces another metal based on their position on the activity series. Metals that are higher in the series are generally more reactive than others below them and so will displace them.

 

Would aluminum replace magnesium to form a new compound or would there be no reaction?

Magnesium is higher than aluminum in the activity series. Therefore it is more reactive than aluminum. No reaction will occur.

A nuclear power plant produces huge amount of electricity. However, it dumps radioactive wastes into the sea. This has led to an
TEA [102]

Answer: Provide the nuclear power plant with a plan to properly dispose of and recycle the wastes.

Explanation:

The nuclear power plant is producing huge amounts of electricity which is beneficial to the economy as it pushes growth. Shutting it down or relocating it is therefore not the right solution.

The problem is the radioactive waste being produced so a solution that is specific to this problem should suffice. That solution would be the provision of the nuclear plant with plans to properly dispose of the waste.

Should this happen, the nuclear plant can still stay in the same area and keep contributing to economic growth without adversely affecting people's heath.
