Explanation:

(Ques- A) Why does the first method for determining volume work only for a regular-shaped object?

(Ans- A) Because the method requires precise dimensions of objects for result, which is not possible for irregular shaped objects.

(Ques - B) Will the second method for determining volume work for any object or just an odd-shaped one? Why?

(Ans-B) It will work for both regular and irregular shaped objects since both displace equal volumes of water.

(Ques - C) Is one method of measurement more accurate than the other? Why or why not?

(Ans-C) Both are pretty accurate, with some experimental errors which may creep in accidentally.

(Ques- D) Would the displacement method of measurement work for a cube of sugar? What about a cork? Why?

(Ans - D) No, the method would not work because sugar being soluble, will dissolve in water.

No, the method would not work because sugar being soluble, will dissolve in water. Cork is less dense than water so floats on it, with only part of it submerged in water, resulting in displacement of less volume of water than actual volume of Cork.

(Ques-E) What did you find out from this investigation? Be thoughtful in your answer.

(Ans- E) I learnt about determining volume of different objects from this investigation. (Sorry, I know its not a very thoughtful answer)

Water is a polar molecule, meaning the electrons that are shared between the atoms aren't shared equally so oxygen attracts more

amm1812

Answer:

Magnet with a positive and a negative pole

Explanation:

A great analogy to demonstrate what a polar molecule looks like is to imagine a magnet. A magnet has one positively charged end and one negatively charged end, two poles, that is.

Imagine that we have a magnet of a shape of a prism (water molecule has a bent shape). The two base vertices of the face of the triangle are positively charged, that's because hydrogen is less electronegative than oxygen and, hence, the two hydrogen atoms are partially positively charged in a water molecule.

Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen meaning it has a greater electron-withdrawing force, so electrons are closer to oxygen within the O-H bonds. Oxygen, as a result, becomes partially negatively charged, so it's our negative pole of the magnet.

What does it mean for the energy levels in an atom to be quantized? Describe how this affects where electrons can be found

marta [7]

When we describe the energy of a particle as quantized, we mean that only certain values of energy are allowed. ... In this case, whenever we measure the particle's energy, we will find one of those values. If the particle is measured to have 4 Joules of energy, we also know how much energy the particle can gain or lose. Quantized energy means that the electrons can possess only certain discrete energy values; values between those quantized values are not permitted

Please help me with chem, it would be very appreciated!

Lelu [443]

To determine the shapes of molecules, we must become acquainted with the Lewis electron dot structure. Although the Lewis theory does not determine the shapes of molecules, it is the first step in predicting shapes of molecules. The Lewis structure helps us identify the bond pairs and the lone pairs.

Suppose a gas mixture used for anesthesia contains 4.60 mol oxygen (O₂) and 6.00 mol nitrous oxide (N₂O). The total pressure of

julia-pushkina [17]

Considering the definition of mole fraction, the mole fraction of O₂ in the mixture is 0.434.

<h3>Definition of mole fraction</h3>

The molar fraction is a way of measuring the concentration that expresses the proportion in which a substance is found with respect to the total moles of the solution.

In other words, the mole fraction expresses the concentration of solute in a solution as the ratio of moles of substance to total moles of solution:

$mole fraction=\frac{moles of substance}{moles of solution}$
