Chemistry

Answer:

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is an important green house gas. A small increase in the concentration of this gas can lead to the global rise in the surface temperature. Over the last 100 years, this gas has increased significantly. One of the main cause behind this the anthropogenic activities.

After the setup of the industrial revolution, there has been a large increase in this CO₂ concentration, as there are numerous large factories and indutries that releases this harmful gases. In addition to this, the burning up of fossil fuel also is responsible for the emission of large amount of carbon into the atmosphere.

Deforestation also is another cause, because trees are no longer there in vast quantities which takes up a large number of atmospheric carbon and in return liberates plenty of oxygen.

Thus, the activities done by man over the last century has led to the increase in the concentration of CO₂ into the atmosphere.

What kind of bond does these have?
RUDIKE [14]
<span>1. Tap water has a small concentration of H+ & OH- ions as well as water molecules, hence there would be permanent dipole-permanent dipole (p.d.-p.d.) forces of attraction between the water molecules (aka H-bonds) as well as ionic bonds between the H+ & OH- ions.

2. Distilled water does not have H+ & OH- ions, hence only H-bonds exist between the water molecules.

3. There are covalent bonds between the individual sugar molecules.
 
4. There are ionic bonds between the Na+ & Cl- ions in NaCl.
 
5. There are p.d.-p.d. forces of attraction between the Na+ ions and the O2- partial ions of the water molecules as well as between the Cl- ions and the H+ partial ions of the water molecules. There are also H-bonds between the individual water molecules and ionic bonds between the Na+ & Cl- ions (although these are in much lower abundance than in unsolvated solid NaCl).

6. There are i.d.-i.d. as well as p.d.-p.d. forces of attraction between the sugar molecules and the water molecules. There are also H-bonds between the individual water molecules and covalent bonds within the sugar molecules.</span>
