Which of the following best explains why the bond in propane (C3H8) are non polar covalent

Chemistry

Answer: option C - Carbon and Hydrogen have similar electronegativity values.

Explanation:

Carbon form COVALENT compounds with hydrogen. Examples are methane CH4, ethane C2H6, propane C3H8.

Electronegativity is the power to attract electrons. It is used to predict whether a bond will be covalent OR not. It can also be used to predict if the resulting molecule will be polar or nonpolar

Thus, Carbon with an electronegativity value of 2.55; and Hydrogen with 2.20 shows close similarities and THUS result in NONPOLAR and COVALENT BOND of Propane

Match the following. 1. A mixture that does not have a uniform composition and the individual components remain distinct. polar
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. A mixture that does not have a uniform composition and the individual components remain distinct.

HETEROGENEOUS

An heterogeous mixture is a mixture with components in different phases.

2. A mixture that does have a uniform composition throughout and is always in the same state.

HOMOGENOUS

Homogenous mixtures have just one phase that is uniform all through.

3. A substance that will not dissolve in a solvent.

INSOLUBLE

When a solute cannot dissolve in a solvent to form a solution, we say it is insoluble.

4. A homogeneous mixture

SOLUTION

Solutions are made up of homogenous mixtures solute and solvent.

5. A molecule with no internal charge variation due to bonding.

NON-POLAR

Even distribution of charges especially between species whose electronegativity difference is 0 would lead to the formation of a non-polar compound. Here,

6. A molecule with an uneven distribution of charge due to unequal sharing of electrons during bonding

POLAR

Unequal sharing of electrons forms a polar compound. The more electronegative attracts the shared electron to itself and there is separation of charges. This leads to polarity.

7. A solution which has dissolved as much solute as it can at a particular temperature.

SATURATED

A saturated solution cannot dissolve more solute beacuse it contains enough solute as it can dissolve at a temperature.

8. A solution which is still able to dissolve solute.

UNSATURATED

An unsaturated solution is able to dissolve more solute.

Identify the true statements about surface tension. Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid.

Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.

Water forming a droplet as it falls from a faucet is a primary example of surface tension.

Explanation:

Surface tension is the force that stretches the liquid surface. This force acts normal to the surface. It is the downward force that acts on the surface of the liquids which is due to the cohesive forces of the liquids.

The water molecules are bonded by a strong hydrogen bond force which is between hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom. At the surface the water molecules are attracted strongly by other water molecules which lies below the surface and are stretched at the surface. Thus the water molecules at the surface acts differently than in the bulk liquid.

Mercury have a strong cohesive force than the water and have a higher surface tension force than the water.

Surface water acquires minimum surface area, hence acquiring spherical shape of water.
