Answer:

Alfred Wegener gave the continental drift theory. On the basis of his theory, the world was a solitary compressed protocontinent at the beginning, which afterward got drifted away into distinct continents as seen today. He named this protocontinent as Pangaea that means all the lands. In order to support this theory, he further stated that a land bridge once prevailed between Africa and Brazil, and thus, one can witness identical fossilized animals and plants in the two parts of the planet.

There are several aromatic compounds with the formula C8H9Cl. Draw those that have a trisubstituted ring where the methyl groups
Kryger [21]

Answer:

3-Chloro-1,2-dimethylbenzene

4-Chloro-1,2-dimethylbenzene

Explanation:

Such types of compounds in which conjugated planer ring system and delocalized pi electrons are present are called aromatic compounds such as Toluene, Benzene and some other. Generally, these compounds follow Huckle's rule. The trisubstituted ring means a compound in which three hydrogen atoms are replaced by three other groups. In the given compound  two hydrogen atoms are replaced by two methyl groups and one hydrogen atom is replaced by one Chlorine atom. From the given compound  3-Chloro-1,2-dimethylbenzene, and   4-Chloro-1,2-dimethylbenzene  can be drawn.

Answer:

= 3.75m {s}^{ - 1}  \\

Explanation:

velocity =  \frac{displacement}{time} \\  =  \frac{15m}{4s}   \\  = 3.75m {s}^{ - 1}

Please help me. How do I do ideal gas law?
Tcecarenko [31]
The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).

Which of the following have the most similar properties?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

             Option-B (Carbon and Silicon)

Explanation:

                  Among the given pairs only carbon and silicon have the most similar properties. This is because,

Sodium and Magnesium belong to different groups. Sodium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Magnesium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 Na  +  Cl₂    →     NaCl

                                           Mg  +  Cl₂    →    MgCl₂

As shown in reactions when Sodium and Magnesium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

Carbon and Silicon show almost same properties because both belong to Group IV hence both are capable of forming four bonds. Also, they share the same property of self linkage in making a long chains.

Argon and Chlorine also belong to two different groups. Argon is present in Group VIII (Noble Gases) and Chlorine is present in Group VII (Halogens). Hence, Argon is an inert specie which is non reactive while Chlorine gives different reaction easily.

Potassium and Calcium belong to different groups. Potassium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Calcium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 K  +  Cl₂    →     KCl

                                           Ca  +  Cl₂    →    CaCl₂

As shown in reactions when Potassium and Calcium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.
