Answer:

A) increasing the pressure

Explanation:

Given the exothermic reaction:

2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ↔  2SO₃(g)

the question asks what will make the number of moles of SO₃(g) to increase.

When an equilibrium is disturbed, the system will shift in order to counteract the change (see <em>Le Chatelier's Principle</em>) So <em>when the pressure is increased in a reaction involving gases, the equilibrium will shift trying to decrease the number of moles </em>(because pressure is produced by molecules hitting the container), that is in this case it will shift towards the right side, towards the production of SO₃, thus increasing the number of moles of SO₃.

The number of moles in the right side is 2 and the number of moles in the left side is 3.

Answer:

yes, in certain cases

there are different types of bondings between atoms

and in some they lend electrons to make their atom stable this type of bonding is called ionic bonding

and in covalent bond the atoms share their electrons

For each molecule, specify the polarity of the bonds and the overall polarity of the molecule.
olasank [31]
Each Be–Cl bond is polar because the two atoms have different electronegativities. The number of outer atoms (2) and lone pairs on the central atom (0) indicate that this molecule has a linear geometry. The bonds in a linear molecule are symmetric, and so their dipoles cancel out.

Each O–H bond is polar because the two atoms have different electronegativities. The number of outer atoms (2) and lone pairs on the central atom (2) indicate that this molecule has a bent geometry. The bonds in a bent molecule are asymmetric, and so their dipoles do not cancel out. In addition, the asymmetric arrangement of the lone pairs on O further contribute to the dipole of this molecule.

An O–O or O=O bond is nonpolar because the two atoms have the same electronegativity. Because there is no overall polarity in O2, the molecule is nonpolar.

Explain the reason for low melting and boiling point of a covalent compound ​
mylen [45]

Answer:

Covalent compounds have weak forces of attraction between the binding molecules. Thus less energy is required to break the force of bonding. Therefore covalent compounds have low melting and boiling point.
