The bond polarities of SiH₄ are polar. The molecular shape is tetrahedral. The molecule is nonpolar.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

As seen on the diagram, there are four Si-H bonds in a molecule of SiH₄. Electronegativity values:

  • Si: 1.9
  • H: 2.2

The two atoms differ in electronegativity. As a result, the Si-H bond is polar.

There are four valence electrons in one Si atom. Each of the four electron will go to a Si-H bond. The Si atom in SiH₄ will have no lone pairs. The four Si-H bonds count towards four electron domains. As a result, the SiH₄ atom is tetrahedral.

Dipoles from each Si-H bond are equal. They are poised in a tetrahedral shape. As a result, their dipole balance each other. Overall, SiH₄ molecule will have no net dipole.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

If the temperature and volume ot a gas increases, the r.m.s. velocity of the molecules in the gas will be 2  times the original r.m.s. molecular velocity.

If T doubles while V is held constant, the new net internal energy of the gas will be 2 times the original internal energy of the gas.

Explanation:

Temperature and root mean square velocity are directly proportional to one anoth. If the temperature increases, root mean square velocity also increases and vice versa, while temperature is also directly proportional to the internal energy of the gas molecules, higher the temperature, higher will be the internal energy and lower the temperature so internal energy will be decreased.

liquid octane(CH3)(CH2)6CH3) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas(O2) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide(CO2) and gaseous water(H2O). I
max2010maxim [7]

The percent yield of carbon dioxide will be 49.0 %.

<h3>Percent yield</h3>

First, let's look at the equation of the reaction:

2C_8H_1_8 + 25O_2 -- > 16CO_2 + 18H_2O

The mole ratio of octane to oxygen is 2:25.

Mole of 3.43 g octane = 3.43/114.23 = 0.03 mol

Mole of 19.1 g oxygen = 19.1/32 = 0.60 mol

Thus, octane is limiting.

Mole ratio of octane to carbon dioxide = 2:16.

Equivalent mole of carbon dioxide = 0.03 x 8 = 0.24 mol

Mass of 0.24 mol carbon dioxide = 0.24 x 44.01 = 10.5624 grams

Percent yield of carbon dioxide = 5.18/10.5624 = 49.0 %

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. consider the substances hydrogen (h2), fluorine (f2), and hydrogen fluoride
nasty-shy [4]

The boiling point of HF is higher than the boiling point of H_2, and it is higher than the boiling point of F_2.

<h3>What is the boiling point?</h3>

The boiling point is the temperature at which the pressure exerted by the surroundings upon a liquid is equalled by the pressure exerted by the vapour of the liquid.

F_2 has weak dispersion force attractions between its molecules, whereas liquid HF has strong ionic interactions between H^+ and F^- ions.

Only London Forces are formed - Therefore more energy is required to break the intermolecular forces in HF than in the other hydrogen halides and so HF has a higher boiling point.

H_2 and F_2 will only have intra-molecular attractions and there will be no hydrogen bonds present in them. As a result, their boiling point will be lower.

Hence, the boiling point of HF is higher than the boiling point of H_2, and it is higher than the boiling point of F_2.
