Answer:

H₂S; CO₂; SiH₄

Explanation:

London dispersion forces are larger in molecules that are large and have more atoms or electrons.

A. H₂O or H₂S

H₂S. S is below O in the Periodic Table, so it is the larger atom. Its electrons are more polarizable.

B. CO₂ or CO

CO₂. CO₂ has more atoms. It is also linear, so the molecules can get close to each other and maximize the attractive forces.

C. CH₄ or SiH₄

CH₄. Si is below C in the Periodic Table, so it is the larger atom. Its electrons are more polarizable.

I have a question about ionization energy.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Ionization energy is the measure of the extend to which the nucleus attracts the outermost electron
if ionization energy us high than force of attraction Is high so it is not easy to remove and vice versa .
hope you understand.....

The SI unit of weight is the same as that of force. What does this tell us about weight? Explain.

masya89 [10]

Answer:

It shows that weight is a form of force.

Explanation:

Basically, weight is the force exerted by your mass multiplied by the gravitational acceleration of the place you're standing in.
