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

Answer:

If the volume of a gas increased from 2 to 6 L while the temperature was held constant, the pressure of the gas decreased by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

Boyle's law that says "The volume occupied by a given gaseous mass at constant temperature is inversely proportional to pressure." This means that if the pressure increases, the volume decreases, while if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.

Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:

Pressure * Volume = constant

P * V = k

To obtain the proportionality factor k you must make the quotient:

$k=\frac{V2}{V1} =\frac{6 L}{2 L}$

k= 3

This means that if the volume of a gas increased from 2 to 6 L while the temperature was held constant, the pressure of the gas decreased by a factor of 3.

If x is a string, then x = new String("OH"); and x = "OH"; will accomplish the same thing. Group of answer choices True False

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

True is the correct answer to the above question.

Explanation:

If x is a string then it can be assigned by the help of two ways in java:
By the help of constructor:- When we write " x = new String("OH");", then it will create a pass a string "OH" into the constructor. It is because the String is a class in java and x is an object created by the constructor of the String class.
With the help of assigning: The "x= OH", which assigns the value of x which is an object of String class it can also use the constructor to initialize the "OH" string on the class.
The above question states the two scenarios which are defined above. Hence the question statement is true.
