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

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 20 grams of CaBr2<br> in 0.50 liter of solution?

ELEN [110]

Answer:

2 M

Explanation:

mole weight of CaBr2 = 40 + 2 * 79.9 = 199.8 gm

20 gm is then 20/199.8 =.1 mole

.1 mole / .50 liter = 2 M
