Why is methane, CH4, a nonpolar compound?

The molecule methane has four Carbon-Hydrogen single covalent bonds. These covalent bonds are called nonpolar covalent bonds because. The consequence of this equal sharing of electrons is that there is no charge separation (dipole moment).

Anarel [89]
Air Pressure drops more rapidly with altitude in a column of cold air than in warm air.The answers to this question are cold air and warm air, respectively. 
<span>Cold air is known to be dense while warm air is known otherwise to be less thens which makes it move upwards. Cold air experiences more pressure as it moves upwards.</span>

What is the empirical formula of a compound containing 40.0% sulfur and 60.0% oxygen by mass?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

in order to determine empirical formula we have to determine the mole ratio of the given elements

Let the total mass of the compound is 100g

as given that the compound has 40% sulfur , so mass of sulfur = 40g

as given that the compound has 60% oxygen, so mass of oxygen = 60g

let us calculate the moles of each element

Moles of sulfur = mass / atomic mass = 40 / 32 = 1.25

moles of oxygen = mass / atomic mass = 60/ 16 = 3.75

In order to get simple ratio of moles we will divide both the moles with least number of moles which is 1.25

moles of sulfur = 1.25 / 1.25 = 1

moles of oxygen = 3.75 /1.25 = 3

So empirical formula will be SO₃
