The correct answer is statement 3, the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than that between fluorine and oxygen. The most polar bond is the one with the highest difference in electronegativity values between two atoms. In this case, the C-O bond.

Answer: (3) The difference in electronegativity between  carbon and oxygen is greater than that  between fluorine and oxygen.

Explanation: Polarity of a molecule is due to the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. More is the electronegativity difference, more is the polarity.

Electronegativity of carbon = 2.5

Electronegativity of oxygen = 3.5

Electronegativity of fluorine = 4.0

Thus the difference in electronegativity of carbon and oxygen is=(3.5-2.5)= 1.0

Thus the difference in electronegativity of fluorine and oxygen is=(4.0-3.5)= 0.5.

Thus C-O bond is more polar than F-O bond.

OK, its deff not the last one b/c all that trash just goes into the air, overwater farm land would kill crops (no help there), Ive never heard of heating water to kill excess bacteria. There is ,however, a new technique called Bioremediation which is the use of living organism to clean up a medium i.e. air,soil, water. It would seem the 2nd answer is correct.

A technical machinist is asked to build a cubical steel tank that will hold 195 L of water. Calculate in meters the smallest pos
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The smallest possible inside length of the tank is 0.579 m.

Explanation:

As we know that

1 m^3 = 1000 L

Thus, volume of 195 liter tank is also equal to 0.195 cubic meter

The volume of a cube is equal to x^3, where, x is the length of the side of the cube

With the give condition,

x^ 3 = 0.195

Solving the above equation, we get -

x = (0.195)^{\frac{1}{3})}\\x = 0.579

The smallest possible inside length of the tank is 0.579 m.

Determine the element, given the number of protons in an atom
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
You can determine an element based on its protons due to the atomic number.
Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom and you can locate it on your periodic table as the number above the letter. Each element has a different number of protons and because of that you can find the element on the periodic table based on its atomic number.
