Answer:

  • Option D. Magnesium oxide.

Explanation:

The <em>polarization</em> of a compound is determined by the formation of dipoles which is the result of the difference in electronegativities between the bonds.

Since all the compounds are with magnesium, you can use the periodic trend of the other elements, i.e. tellurium, selenium, sulfur and oxygen to determine which one has the most electronegativiy difference when bonded to magnesium.

Oxygen, sulfur, selenium, and tellurium are all in the same group of the periodic table, group 16.

In a group the electronegativy decreases when you move down the grpup, so the most electronegative of all those four elements is oxygen.

Now you can conclude that the compound of magnesium with oxygen, magnesium oxide (option D), will be have the most polarization of the four given compounds.

Find the average speed of a person who swims 105 m in 70 s
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

v = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a person, d = 105 m

Time taken, t = 70 s

We need to find the average speed of the person. We know that the average speed is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{105\ m}{70\ s}\\\\v=1.5\ m/s

So, the average speed of the person is equal to 1.5 m/s.

Why does the sky change colors at sunrise and sunset
aniked [119]

Answer:

As the sun's angle changes, (because of the rotation of the earth) the sun slowly begins to shine more or less sunshine slowly. When sunsets and sunrises occur, the color of the sky changes because the sunshine is starting to fade out or in.

I put it in my own words so you don't have to worry about plagiarism :)
