Explanation:
If you bring an unopened bag of potato chips aboard an airplane you'll notice that the bag puffs up as the plane ascends to a higher altitude explain why this happens using the information and terminology you learned in this module
Answer:
The speed of light is the speed at which light travels. No, an object cannot move at the speed of light.
Explanation:
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. An object with mass cannot move at the speed of light since it would take an infinite amount of energy to achieve that velocity, since only massless particles can travel at the speed of light. Also, you would have to factor in air friction, meaning even if an object were to reach such high speeds, it would instantly disintegrate.
Answer:
a. Polar
b. Polar
c. Non-polar
d. Non-polar
Explanation:
a.
, hydronium cation contains a positive charge. Just as any other ion, it is polar, as it has a net charge.
b.
has the same shape as water. There are two lone pairs on sulfur atom which produce an overall dipole moment in this molecule, the bent structure is polar.
c.
is non-polar, as the central atom, phosphorus, doesn't contain any lone pairs, all the dipole moments cancel out: two dipole moments in the vertical plane, P-Cl, and three P-Cl dipoles in the horizontal plane within a trigonal bipyramidal shape.
d.
is non-polar, since it's a tetrahedral molecule with no lone pairs on carbon atom, all four C-F dipole moments cancel out to yield a net 0 dipole moment.
You should take note that the question is about stability. A compound is stable if it does not easily react with other elements. Hence, its reactivity must be low. As you move down the group, reactivity decreases. So, the halide at the very bottom is the least reactive. It would then be logical that the most stable conjugate base is I⁻ and the least stable conjugate base is the most reactive which is F⁻.
