Draw a reasonable Lewis structure for the substance.
Step 2: Identify each bond as either polar or nonpolar. (If the difference in electronegativity for the atoms in a bond is greater than 0.4, we consider the bond polar. If the difference in electronegativity is less than 0.4, the bond is essentially nonpolar.)
If there are no polar bonds, the molecule is nonpolar.
If the molecule has polar bonds, move on to Step 3.
Step 3: If there is only one central atom, examine the electron groups around it.
If there are no lone pairs on the central atom, and if all the bonds to the central atom are the same, the molecule is nonpolar. (This shortcut is described more fully in the Example that follows.)
If the central atom has at least one polar bond and if the groups bonded to the central atom are not all identical, the molecule is probably polar. Move on to Step 4.
Step 4: Draw a geometric sketch of the molecule.
Step 5: Determine the symmetry of the molecule using the following steps.
Describe the polar bonds with arrows pointing toward the more electronegative element. Use the length of the arrow to show the relative polarities of the different bonds. (A greater difference in electronegativity suggests a more polar bond, which is described with a longer arrow.)
Decide whether the arrangement of arrows is symmetrical or asymmetrical
If the arrangement is symmetrical and the arrows are of equal length, the molecule is nonpolar.
If the arrows are of different lengths, and if they do not balance each other, the molecule is polar.
If the arrangement is asymmetrical, the molecule is polar.
Yes the same set uo because
mass = grams
Answer:
Most likely A. Molten lava, since it straight up melts the equipment which is much faster than chemicals dissolving the equipment like hydrochloric acid and nitric acid.

Answer:
3. small sizes and high ionization energies.
Explanation:
Hello,
Ionization energies are always related with the formation of positive ions. On the other hand, electron affinities are the negative ion equivalent, and their use is almost always confined to elements in groups 6 and 7 of the Periodic Table
Small sizes and high ionization energies turn out into great electron affinities since it is easier for an electron to be added to an atom if it is small and it has a high ionization energy to promote the aforesaid addition.
Best regards.
Answer:
Oxidizing element: Mg
Explanation:
Reaction of magnesium and oxygen can be written as:
while writting chemical reaction between two atom or element then write their natural form i.e. how that atom or element exist in the nature.
eg. reaction of any element with Oxygen atom then we can not write directly O because oxygen exist in the nature in form of 
finding oxidation number each side:
Reactant side:
Mg=0;
O=0;
product side:
Mg=+2;
O=-2;
from above:
oxidation number of Mg is increasing hence this is oxidizing element
