What is a term called gradient in Earth Science?

Chemistry

The gradient is the slope of a linear equation, represented in the simplest form as y = mx + b. In Earth Science, the gradient is usually used to measure how steep certain changes in elevation are.

In order to find the gradient in a topographical setting, one must know two things: the elevation of two points and the distance between the two points. Once these values are known, the gradient can be found by dividing the change in field value, or the change in elevation, by the distance. The higher the gradient value is, the steeper the slope is.

Analyze the bonds of CCl4. What is the shape of the CCl4 molecule? Is it symmetrical? Does this mean that the CCl4 molecule is p
Crank

C-Cl bond is polar.


As Cl is more electronegative than C,  

Cl pulls the shared electrons towards its side making the C-Cl bond polar.


Polar meaning C gets a partial positive charge and Cl gets a partial negative charge. Thus C-Cl bond becomes polar.


CCl4 molecule is tetrahedral.

And its shape is symmetrical.


That means its similar on all corners or all planes and it can be cut into equal halves from any plane.


C-Cl bond is polar.But the C-Cl polairty gets cancelled out as its pulled equally from all sides.


Since the molecule is symmetrical CCl4 is non polar.

Nimfa-mama [501]
Uhhh, well if the sun is out there is something called blackbody radiation. Wearing black clothes could absorb the sunlight just like solar panels on a house. ( black plates placed on houses) Plus you could get a heat stroke but its pretty rare.
