Answer:

SiH4 is nonpolar and BBr3 is nonpolar and SiF4 is nonpolar.

Explanation:

SiH4 is a non-polar compound. Though the Si–H bonds are polar, as a result of different electronegativities of Si and H. However, as there are 4 electron repulsions around the central Si atom, the polar bonds are arranged symmetrically around the central atom having a tetrahedral shape hence they cancel out making the compound nonpolar.

SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule because the fluorine atoms are arranged symetrically around the central silicon atom in a tetrahedral molecule with all of the regions of negative charge cancelling each other out just like in SiH4.

The 3 bromine atoms all lie in the same plane thus the geometry of the compound will be trigonal planar. The BBr3 will be non polar because the three B-Br bonds will cancel out each others' dipole moment given that they are in the same plane.

Both kepler's laws and newton's laws tell us something about the motion of the planets, but there are fundamental differences be
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: See description

Explanation:

Kepler's laws have three principal points:

1. planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths

2. the orbial period is related to the orbital distance by T^{2} = d^3

where T is the orbital period and d is the orbital distance, T is in years and d is measured in units of the earth sun distance.

3. planets closer to the sun move faster than planets far away from it.

Newton:

Newton discovered that there is a consequence to the gravity exerted by objects: mass, the heavier the planet, the more gravitational force it posseses ( thats why we orbit the sun)

with the gravitational force F_{gravitational} =G \frac{Mm}{r^2} newton discovered the inverse-quadratic relationship between the distance of the planets and the acceleration exerted by the force one could exert on another.

Kepler's laws were mostly based on observed evidence with quantitative relationships between the mentioned variables. Newton's laws are based on calculus and symbolic equations. While Kepler's mode is basic, Newton took another step in and build a more general model for gravity (which was improved by general relativity later). In a nutshell Newton proved the scientific causes for Kepler's laws...

What volume of concentrated (10.2 M) HCl would be required to prepare 1.11 x 104 mL of 1.5 M HC1? Enter your answer in scientifi
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The required volume is 1.6 x 10³mL.

Explanation:

When we want to prepare a dilute solution from a concentrated one, we can use the dilution rule to find out the required volume to dilute. This rule states:

C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂

where,

C₁ and V₁ are the concentration and volume of the concentrated solution

C₂ and V₂ are the concentration and volume of the dilute solution

In this case, we want to find out V₁:

C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂

V_{1} = \frac{C_{2}.V_{2}}{C_{1}} = \frac{1.5M \times1.11.10^{4}mL }{10.2M} =1.6\times10^{3} mL

Why is our mindset more important when you try to learn remotely than when you are learning face to face?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

It is more important because of the freedom.

Explanation:

While at home you can do your work of course... but you could lay down, take a nap. You could get on the game, play around. You could draw, and fiddle and dance and do WHATEVER you want with no teacher to stop you so you have to be your own motivation. You have to be your own teacher or its VERY easy to fail.
