Answer:

B. hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Waxy surfaces are non-polar while also water is polar. There is a difference in electronegativity between the atoms O and H, in which O is more electronegative than H. Such a difference in electronegativity causes the two covalent O-H bonds to become polar in water, where O atom has a partial negative charge, and the H atom has a partial positive charge.

Therefore from the above explanation the correct answer is B

Helium has a density of 1.79 x 10-4 g/mL at standard temperature and pressure. A balloon has a volume of 6.3 liters. Calculate t
sukhopar [10]
To find the mass you divide multiply volume and density..

Density = 1.79 x 10^-4     Volume = 6.3

(1.79 x 10^-4 )(6.3) =  <span>1.1 x 10^-3 g

How is the oxidation state of a transition metal determined from the chemical formula ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.

We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.

The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.

To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:

  • The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
  • The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to  the charge on the ion.

For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻

This would be:  2x + 7(-2) = -2

                          x = +6

We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.

Alchemist made which of the following contributions to the development of chemistry?
a_sh-v [17]
Alchemists advanced the tools and procedures for working with chemicals. Alchemists also developed methods for sorting out mixtures and cleansing chemicals. They designed equipment that is still in use today including beakers, flasks, tongs, funnels, and the mortar and pestle. Also, Alchemists backed to an unbelievable variety of what would later be acquainted as chemical industries: basic metallurgy, metalworking, the invention of inks, dyes, paints, and cosmetics, leather-tanning, and the preparation of extracts and liquors.
