Answer: C. The hydrogen atoms have partial positive charges.

Explanation: The solubility of substances is governed by: Like dissolves like, which states that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and non polar compounds are soluble in non polar solvents.

Water being polar in nature dissolves NaCl by getting between the oppositely charged ions of solute and thus decreasing the forces of attraction between the ions. The positively charged Na^+ ions are attracted to positive pole of water which is hydrogen and the negatively charged Cl^- is attracted to negative pole of water which is oxygen.

What caused the bonding of two atoms which undergo an ionic bond?
Keith_Richards [23]
C. As we know, an atom is made of three parts--protons (+), neutrons (core), and electrons (-) When one of these atoms loses one or more electron(s), it becomes a cation, or a positively charged ion. Inversely, when this atom gains a positively charged ion, [the atom] becomes a negatively charged atom, or an anion. The bond is made through electrostatic attraction, and a bond between these two "halves of a whole", it is known as an ionic bond.

the average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas increases as the temperature of the gas increases. explain​
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Explanation: Volume versus Temperature: Raising the temperature of a gas increases the average kinetic energy and therefore the rms speed (and the average speed) of the gas molecules. Hence as the temperature increases, the molecules collide with the walls of their containers more frequently and with greater force.

If a man has a mass of 83 kilograms on Earth, what will the force of gravity on his body be on the moon? A. 135.6 N B. 318.5 N C
diamong [38]
First, we need to know what's the gravity value in the moon. it is 1.622 m/ s2

to find the force, let's recall this formula----> Force= mass x gravity

force= 83 kg x 1.622= 134.6

A is the closest choice.

State one type of additional information that could be used to determine if these three species are closely related.
Luda [366]

Answer:

Study the bone structure of limbs.

Explanation:

Study the bone structure of limbs can be used to find out the relatedness and relationship among three species because the pattern of bones structure is similar but the structure is different from one another due to different environmental conditions. This study provides important and useful information whether the three species are closely related or not. If they have similar bone structure than we can say that there are more chances that they are closely related to each other.
