The molecule BH3 is trigonal planar, with B in the center and H in the three vertices. Ther are no free electrons. All the valence electrons are paired in and forming bonds.

There are four kind of intermolecular attractions: ionic, hydrogen bonds, polar and dispersion forces.

B and H have very similar electronegativities, Boron's electronegativity is 2.0 and Hydrogen's electronegativity is 2.0.

The basis of ionic compounds are ions and the basis of polar compounds are dipoles.

The very similar electronegativities means that B and H will not form either ions or dipoles. So, that discards the possibility of finding ionic or polar interactions.

 Regarding, hydrogen bonds, that only happens when hydrogen bonds to O, N or F atoms. This is not the case, so you are sure that there are not hydrogen bonds.

When this is the case, the only intermolecular force is dispersion interaction, which present in all molecules.

Then, the answer is dispersion interaction.

The rolling magma causes uneven currents in underneath the earths crust. Sort of similar to wind patterns in the sky but think of them as underground and in a much thicker fluid. Ocean currents might be a better analogy. Because of it being a much more viscous fluid, there is greater pressure buildup which can cause torsion, compression, expansion etc. when you bake a cake look how the dough underneath expands & the top crust cracks and stretches. Hope that helps.

Uestion 1 how many grams of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (molar mass = 372.24 g/mol) required to prepare 500. ml of a 0.
Jlenok [28]
The solution is as follows:

Important data:
*0.01 M solution = 0.01 moles <span>disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate/ L solution
*1 L = 1000 mL
*Molar mass = 372/24 g/mol

Stoichiometric calculation:
0.01 mol/L * (1 L/1000 mL) * 500 mL * </span><span>372.24 g/mol = 1.8612 g

Therefore, you would need 1.8612 grams of </span>disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate.

An analogy is the closest way to compare something to another that may not be related so that would be my pick. If that’s not it I guess he could maybe be making an observational opinion about it? Good luck hope this helped. Analogy
