Particles of Substance X are dispersed in water to form a colloid. Which describes the electrical charges on the particles of Su

bstance X?
All the particles carry the same charge, which could be either positive or negative.

Each particle carries a charge that is slightly different from the other particles.

Half of the particles carry a positive charge; the other half carry a negative charge.

All the particles are uncharged, or electrically neutral.

The correct answer is option A.

All the particles carry the same charge, which could be either positive or negative.

All the particles of substance X will have same charge on its surface, which is balanced by the oppositely charged ions in the water.

For example, soap solution (sodium palmitate) dissociates into ions:

C₁₅H₁₁COONa --> C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻ + Na⁺

The cations (Na⁺) passes into the water while the anions (C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻) form aggregates or colloids.

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Every oxidation must be accompanied by a reduction.

Explanation:

Oxidation and reduction are complementary processes. There can be no oxidation without reduction and vice versa. It is actually a given an take affair. A specie looses electrons which must be gained by another specie to complete the process. This explains why the selected option is the correct one.

The product of the nitration reaction will have a nitro group at which position with respect to the methyl group? Group of answe
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Mostly Para

Explanation:

First, let's assume that the molecule is the toluene (A benzene with a methyl group as radical).

Now the nitration reaction is a reaction in which the nitric acid in presence of sulfuric acid, react with the benzene molecule, to introduce the nitro group into the molecule. The nitro group is a relative strong deactiviting group and is metha director, so, further reactions that occur will be in the metha position.

Now, in this case, the methyl group is a weak activating group in the molecule of benzene, and is always ortho and para director for the simple fact that this molecule (The methyl group) is a donor of electrons instead of atracting group of electrons. Therefore for these two reasons, when the nitration occurs,it will go to the ortho or para position.

Now which position will prefer to go? it's true it can go either ortho or para, however, let's use the steric hindrance principle. Although the methyl group it's not a very voluminous and big molecule, it still exerts a little steric hindrance, and the nitro group would rather go to a position where no molecule is present so it can attach easily. It's like you have two doors that lead to the same place, but in one door you have a kid in the middle and the other door is free to go, you'll rather pass by the door which is free instead of the door with the kid in the middle even though you can pass for that door too. Same thing happens here. Therefore the correct option will be mostly para.

Hydrogen atom and chlorine atom makes hydrogen chloride molecules.

It is the lowest point in the substance and possesses chemical elements. Atoms don't exist on their own; instead, they combine to create ions and molecules, which combine to create the substances that we can see, feel, and touch.

One or more atoms joined together by covalent (chemical) connections make up molecules. Atoms can be imagined as circles with a central nucleus (consisting of protons and neutrons) and one or more concentric circles surrounding it that represent the "shells" or "levels" in which the electrons surrounding the atom's nucleus are located as well as markings that distinguish the electron. every level
