Say you have a bond A-B.

Even though in this bond each atom shares electrons, one might attract electrons more than another. If one atom, A for instance, attracts those electrons way better than B, then the bond will be polar, and the electronic cloud will be more important around A than around B, which gives chemical properties to the molecule.

The ka values for several weak acids are given below. which acid (and its conjugate base) would be the best buffer at ph = 8.0?
Pie
One of the best buffer choice for pH = 8.0 is Tris with Ka value of  6.3 x 10^-9.

To support this answer, we first calculate for the pKa value as the negative logarithm of the Ka value: 
     pKa = -log Ka

For Tris, which is an abbreviation for 2-Amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3 -diol and has a Ka value of 6.3 x 10^-9, the pKa is
     pKa = -log Ka
            = -log (6.3x10^-9)
            = 8.2

We know that buffers work best when pH is equal to pKa:
     pKa = 8.2 = pH 

Therefore Tris would be a best buffer at pH = 8.0.

Which of the following can an isosceles triangle not be? an acute triangle a scalene triangle an equilateral triangle a right tr
zimovet [89]

Answer;

A scalene

Explanation;

A triangle is a geometric figure with three sides and three angles that always add up to 180 degrees.

Based on properties triangles can be classified as equilateral, scalene, isosceles and right triangles.

Equilateral triangles has all the three sides and the angles equal, an isosceles triangle has two of its sides equal, and two angles that are known as the base angles equal. A scalene triangle has all the three angles and sides different from each other. A right triangle is a triangle in which one of the angle is right angle or is 90 degrees.

An isosceles triangle may be a right triangle, equilateral triangle, and also may be an acute triangle, however an isosceles triangle can never be a scalene triangle
