What is the characteristic of the polar water molecule?

1 answer:

7 0

A water molecule, because of its shape, is a polar molecule. That is, it has one side that is positively charged and one side that is negatively charged. The molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The bonds between the atoms are called covalent bonds, because the atoms share electrons.

Answer: 1. C. polar covalent: electrons shared between silicon and sulfur but attracted more to the sulfur

2. B) $NH_3$

3. B) Fluorine

Explanation:

1. A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of sulphur- electronegativity of silicon = 2.5 -1.8 = 0.7

Thus as electronegativity difference is less than 1.7 , the cond is polar covalent and as electronegativity of sulphur is more , the electrons will be more towards sulphur.

2. A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Example: $NH_3$

Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons from metals to non metals. Example: $Mg_3N_2$ , $AlCl_3$ and $LiBr$

3. For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here K is having an oxidation state of +1 and as the compound formed is KZ, the oxidation state of non metallic element Z should be -1. Thus the element Z is flourine which exists as diatomic gas $F_2$

What is the proper way of collection, preservation and transition of hair?

Murrr4er [49]

An investigator can collect hairs they observe visually (with tweezers or by hand), and they can also use clear tape to lift non-visible hair from a variety of surfaces, such as clothing. Other methods of hair sample collection include combing and clipping methods.

The Spirit of America Goodyear blimp has a volume of 2.027×105 ft3.When the blimp is in operation, it is filled with helium gas.

Andru [333]

Answer: 1.027 x 10^6 g= 1027kg
In this question, you are given the volume of the blimp (2.027×10^5 ft^3) and the density of the gas(0.179g/L). To answer this question, you need to convert the volume unit into liter. The calculation would be: 2.027×10^5 ft^3 x 28.3168L/ft3= 57.398 x 10^5L= 5.74x10^6L

Then to find the mass, multiply the volume with the density. The calculation would be: 5.74x10^6L x 0.179g/L= 1.027 x 10^6 g= 1027kg

Leokris [45]

Hydrogen is the limiting reactant because when doing a stoichiometry equation for the reactants, hydrogen will be used completely by having a smaller yield and oxygen will be excess (7 moles to be exact)
