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.

Which best describes the importance of the microscope to the development of cell theory? Microscopes color different parts of ce
aliya0001 [1]
Cells are too small to see with the naked eye. 

It's pretty straight forward, use the cross-out method. 

1) Microscopes MAGNIFY images, they don't color the cells. In fact, scientists have to use these chemicals to "stain" or color the cells to see them more easily through microscopes. 

2) If the lenses of a microscope reduced the image of an organism to the size of a cell, you'd be seeing a very tiny human through your microscope, instead of actual cells. 

3) Microscopes don't "trap" anything. In fact, scientists use plates or slides under microscopes to contain what they're studying.

What is the total number of liters of NH3 formed when 20 liters of N2 reacts completely
goblinko [34]

Answer:

N2 + H2 ----------》NH3

On balancing it

N2. + 3.H2------->2.NH3

( 1 mol) (3 mol) (2 mol)

1 mol of nitrogen reacts with 3 mol of hydrogen to give 2 mol of ammonia.

Likewise,

20 litres of nitrogen reacts with 60 litres of hydrogen to give 40 litres of Ammonia.

Hence, the answer is 40 Litres.

How many grams of water do you need to weigh if a reaction requires 5 moles of h2o
rewona [7]

One mole of water weighs 18 grams. H₂O is composed of 2H= 2 and 1 0=16 adding gives you 18. number of moles= mass/ Relative Molecular Mass

Therefore, mass= Relative Molecular Mass×number of moles

                           = 18×5 moles

                           = 90 grams
