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).

Choose the element described by the following electron configuration.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Argon

Explanation:

Electron configuration given               1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

To find the element whose electron configuration is given, we can do it by two methods.

Number 1. Sum all the exponents the result will give you the atomic number of the element.

                      2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 18

The element with an atomic number of 18 is Argon.

Number 2. Look at the last terms of the electronic configuration

                      3s² 3p⁶

Number three indicates that this element is in the third period in the periodic table.

Sum the exponents    2 + 6 = 8

Number 8 indicates that this element is the number 8 of that period without considering the transition elements.

The element with these characteristics is Argon.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!<br> Calculate the bond for CO2
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Bonding Order = number of bonding electrons – number of antibonding electrons/2.

So for CO2, there is a total of 16 electrons, 8 of which are antibonding electrons.

So 16 – 8 = 8; divided by 2 = 4. So, 4 is the bonding order of CO2. The molecular structure of CO2 looks like this:

When you have finished adding the necessary amount of NaOH to your beaker, what color will the litmus paper turn?
Svetllana [295]

<u>Answer:</u> The red litmus paper turns blue on dipping in NaOH solution.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Litmus paper is the indicator that detects the nature of the solution, whether it is acidic or basic.

There are 2 types of litmus paper:

  • <u>Red litmus paper:</u> This paper will turn blue if it is dipped in basic solution and will remain as such if it is dipped in acidic solution.
  • <u>Blue litmus paper:</u> This paper will turn red if it is dipped in acidic solution and will remain as such if it is dipped in basic solution.

NaOH is a strong base, so when a red litmus paper is dipped in the beaker having necessary amount of NaOH, the red litmus paper turns into blue.
