The answer is: True.

The magnitude of a vector is represented by the length of the arrow.

The arrow length is drawn according a chosen scale.

For example, the diagram shows a vector with a magnitude of 100 kilometers, if the scale used for constructing the diagram is 1 cm = 10 km, the vector arrow is drawn with a length of 10 cm.

The arrow has an obvious tail and arrowhead. The arrow points in the precise direction.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Scalar quantities have only magnitude whereas vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Speed is a scalar quality whereas velocity is a vector quantity as velocity has both a magnitude and direction. Vectors are represented by a line with an arrow head. The magnitude of the vector is represented by the length of the line and the arrow head points to the direction of the vector.

To decrease the rate of the forward reaction you can do the following:

- decrease the concentration of the reactants

- increase the concentration of the products

- increase the pressure so the hydrogen gas will not be easily removed from the reaction

- decrease the temperature, number of collisions will decrease so the rate of the reaction will decrease

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Resonance is a concept that was introduced when it was not possible to represent a compound with a single Lewis structure. Lewis formulas represent localized electrons, either shared by two atoms in a covalent bond or as non-shared electrons belonging to a given atom. Certain organic compounds, especially those containing multiple bonds can be described by more than one Lewis structure. In these cases, the true Lewis structure has an electronic distribution that is a "hybrid" of all possible Lewis structures of that molecule. Each of Lewis's structures is known as resonance or canonical forms and they are related to each other by a double-headed arrow, where all possible positions of electrons in that molecule are represented.

This type of compound has multiple bonds (double or triple) where electrons are not fixed, but move quickly between atoms, "resonating" between the different Lewis structures. For this reason, when a resonance hybrid has a negative charge, this charge moves between the different resonant structures.

Many times, an intermediate Lewis structure is drawn, with dotted lines, simulating approaching the real structure of the compound, and where this phenomenon of electron and charge mobility can be observed. For example, as we can observe in the ozone resonance image.
