Which substance is most likely to be miscible with water? (hint: determine which molecule is polar)?

The question is missing the choices and these are CHCl3, CF4, CS2 or Br2.A polar molecule is one in which the atoms are organized such that one end of the molecule has a positive charge and the conflicting end has the opposite or negative charge. So in the given choices above, the most polar one CHCl3 this actually the only polar one in the choices. The explanation behind this is it has the same shape as CCl4 molecule, but one of the Chlorine atoms has been substituted by a Hydrogen atom. We know that Hydrogen has a weaker electronegativity in contrast to Chlorine, so electron density along the h-c bond is dragged away from the Hydrogen and in the direction of the ccl3 fragment, resulting in a polar molecule.

Why do atomic model has changed over time

Elenna [48]

The model of the atom has dramatically changed over many many years.We learned atoms make up different substances and are the smallest particles of matter, which have subatomic particles that are very small portions of matter. At first scientist only thought there were electrons which are negatively charged.

How do the differences in the polyatomic ions po3 3- and po4 3- help you determine whether each ends in -ite or -ate?

Tcecarenko [31]

There is a rule in naming polyatomic anions containing oxygen. Those names ending in <em>–ate</em> are given to the most common oxyanion of an element. While those names ending in <em>–ite</em> are for those that contains fewer O atom for the same charge. Since P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ has fewer O atoms, its name ends in <em>–ite</em>. Thus, P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ is phosphite while P $PO_{4} ^{3-}$ is phosphate.

Please indicate which of the compounds will yield postive results for the permanganate, ninhydrin, and ceric ammonium nitrate te

maks197457 [2]

The compounds will yield Positive results for the permanganate, ninhydrin, and ceric ammonium nitrate tests are

permanganate test= ethene,

ninhydrin=aspasyic acid Phenylalanine

ceric ammonium nitrate test= methanol

<h3>What is a compound?</h3>

Generally, A compound is simply defined as a substance made up of two or more different chemical elements held together by chemical bonds that are difficult to break.

In conclusion, For the permanganate test= ethene,

ninhydrin=aspasyic acid Phenylalanine

ceric ammonium nitrate test= methanol
