The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the fourth choice or letter D "<span>Oil is nonpolar, and water is polar."

</span>Oil<span> will not </span>dissolve<span> in </span>water<span> because </span>water<span> forms a polar covalent bond and </span>oil<span> forms a non-covalent bond. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, in chemistry molecules </span>dissolve<span> with other molecules that share similar characteristics.</span>

Naturally occurring copper exists in two isotopic forms: 63Cu and 65Cu. The atomic mass of copper is 63.55 amu. What is the appr
Mariulka [41]
To calculate the average atomic weight, each exact atomic weight is multiplied by its percent abundance, then, add the results together.  If the natural abundance of 63Cu is assigned x, the natural abundance of 65Cu is 1-x (the two abundance always add up to 1). So the solution is: (63)(x)+(65)(1-x) = 63.55, 63x+65-65x=63.55, x=0.725=72.5%. The natural abundance of 63Cu is 72.5%, that of 65Cu is 1-72.5%=27.5%.

A neutral solution has a(n) _______ amount of hydroxide ions compared to hydrogen ions.
erastovalidia [21]
The answer is 'equal'. Hydroxide ions are OH- and Hydrogen ions are H+. Have you noticed they're opposite charges? Positive + negative = neutral. That's all there is to it :)

Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions? Which is generally stronger, intermolec
Inessa [10]

Answer:

A. Intramolecular interactions are generally stronger.

B. a. Only intermolecular interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas.

Explanation:

<em>A. Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions?</em>

Intramolecular interactions, in which electrons are gained, lost or shared, constitute true bonds and are one or two orders of magnitude stronger than intermolecular interactions.

<em>B. Which of these kinds of interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas?</em>

When a liquid vaporizes, the intermolecular attractions are broken, that is, molecules get more separated. However, true bonds are not broken which is why the molecules keep their chemical identity.
