Answer: The element expected to be most electronegative is Ca.

The element expected to be least electronegative is K.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the property of an element to attract a shared pair of electron towards itself.

Down the group:

The size of an atom increases as we move down the group because a new shell is added and electron gets added up.

As, the size of an element increases, the valence electrons gets away from the nucleus. So, the attraction between the nucleus and the shared pair of electrons decreases

Hence, electronegativity decreases moving from top to bottom down a group

Across a period:

The size of an atom decreases as we move across the period because the electrons get added to the same shell and the nuclear charge keeps on increasing. Thus the electrons get more tightly held by the nucleus.

As, the size of an element decreases, the valence electrons come near to the nucleus. So, the attraction between the nucleus and the shared pair of electrons increases.

Hence, electronegativity increases moving across left to right in a period.

Thus as K, Sc and Ca are arranged across a period, the electronegativity order is K< Sc < Ca.

What is the direction of the polarity of the indicated bond in h3c−oh marked by δ+ and δ−?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:- The direction of the polarity of the indicated bond is from carbon to oxygen.

Explanations:-  There are two types of covalent compounds, polar and non polar. If the bond is between two same atoms for example, H-H, Cl-Cl etc then the bond is non polar. If the bond is between two different atoms then the bond would be polar. The direction of the polarity is from loss electron negative atom to more electron negative atom.

Oxygen is more electron negative than carbon. So, being more electron negative, the bonding electrons are more towards oxygen and it cases partial negative charge on oxygen and partial positive charge on carbon. The direction of the polarity is from less electron negative carbon to more electron negative oxygen.

It is shown in the diagram below:

A composition of reflections over parallel lines is the same as a __________.
8090 [49]

Answer : Option A) Translation


Explanation : A composition of reflections over parallel lines is the same as a <u>Translation.</u>


To identify if the composition of reflections over parallel lines are same as translation or not?


We can check using a picture of some shape in the plane. Place the picture on the right side of two vertical parallel. Now, we can see the reflected the shape over the nearest parallel line, then check the reflection over the other parallel line. We see that the shape winds up in the same orientation, like it was just shifted over to the right. Hence, it is translation.
