When the electron cloud of a molecule is easily distorted, the molecule has a high _____________.a. polarity b. polarizability c

. dipole moment d. van der Waals radius
Chemistry
1 answer:
katovenus [111]4 years ago

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Polarity is defined as the development of partial charges on the atoms of a molecule.

Whereas polarizability is defined as the ability or measure of how readily an electron cloud is able to get distorted. More is the polarizability more will be the electron is distorted in nature.

A dipole moment is defined as the measurement of the separation of two opposite electrical charges.

Thus, we can conclude that when the electron cloud of a molecule is easily distorted, the molecule has a high polarizability.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The pressure is higher than the atmospheric one, therefore the temperature is less.

Explanation:

When it is closed permanently, the pressure of the pot inside it increases, generating that the atoms and particles of the water are closer together, increasing their kinetic energy, if intermolecular friction and therefore the boiling point is lower, because the water reaches a boil or boil at a lower temperature.

Silicon Tetrachloride is reacted with very pure magnesium, producing silicon and magnesium chloride. (What would be the unbalanc
raketka [301]
Pure magnesium's formula would just be Mg because all elements except for 7 nonmetals are just left alone when they are by themselves in a formula. The 7 diatomic elements( means they have to have two of them without another element attached to it aka. a subscript two after it when it's by itself) are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. An easy way to remember the diatomic seven is that when looking at a periodic table if you trace over them from nitrogen over to fluorine and down to iodine all of those elements are diatomic + hydrogen. 

And your unbalanced and balanced equations are correct.

(sorry I went on a tangent with the diatomic rules hopefully it will help you in the future though)

The distinguishing characteristics of comets, meteors, and asteroids are its composition.

<h3>What are the characteristics of comets, meteors and asteroids?</h3>

Asteroids are the fragments of rock that were left over from the creation of the solar system, Meteors are the rocks that enter the atmosphere of the Earth from space while on the other hand, Comets are the remnants of the formation of the solar system that are made of dust, rocks, and ice. All these materials i.e. comets, meteors and asteroids are different from one another due to its structure and chemical composition.

So we can conclude that the distinguishing characteristics of comets, meteors, and asteroids are its composition.
