Explanation:
they are closer and made of gas
Answer:
Cohesive forces are greater than adhesive forces
Step-by-step explanation:
The attractive forces between water molecules and the wax on a freshly-waxed car (adhesive forces) are quite weak.
However, there are strong attractive forces (cohesive forces) between water molecules.
The water molecules are only weakly attracted to the wax, so the cohesive forces pull the water molecules together to form beads
.
Answer:- C. H
Explanations:- Reduction is gain of electron. In other words we could say that decrease in oxidation number is reduction.
As per the rules, oxidation number of hydrogen in its compounds is +1(except metal hydrides) and the oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2.
The oxidation number in elemental form is zero.
In
, the oxidation number of H is +1 and oxidation number of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in
is -1. On product side, the oxidation number of hydrogen in
is zero and in
the oxidation number of H is +1 and that of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in
is 0.
From above data, Oxidation number of O is -2 on both sides so it is not reduced.
Oxidation number of Cl is changing from -1 to 0 which is oxidation.
Oxidation number of H is changing from +1 to 0 which is reduction.
So, the right choice is C.H
Answer:
c) the attraction of an atom for the electrons in a covalent bond.
Explanation:
Electronegativity, symbol χ, is a chemical property describing an atom's ability of to attract a shared pair of electrons to itself. It is influenced by the atomic number of the atom and the distance between the valence electrons and the charged nucleus. As the electronegativity number of atoms increases, the more the atom attracts electrons towards itself.
