How do you sort bonds by polarity

1 answer:

7 0

Your question isn't quite clear, but if you're wondering if a chemical is polar or non-polar, you simply draw a VSEPR sketch and draw arrows where the bonds are. Only draw arrows between atoms, NOT between an atom and a lone pair of electrons. The arrow should point to the most electronegative atom (you should be given an electronegativity scale). Afterwards, you add up the arrows as vectors, and look at the sum of the vectors. If the sum is zero (CH4 is a good example), the chemical is non-polar. If the sum is a vector, the chemical is polar (H2O, or water, is polar).

How is the kinetic energy of the constituent particles of any matter affected by a change in temperature?

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Particles in all states of matter are in constant motion and this is very rapid at room temperature. A rise in temperature increases the kinetic energy and speed of particles; it does not weaken the forces between them. ... Individual particles in liquids and gases have no fixed positions and move chaotically.

Which of the following statements is true about the composition of the atmosphere?

Phoenix [80]

Answer : Option D) The atmospheric conditions vary as one changes latitude and altitude.

Explanation : The composition of the atmosphere varies according to the latitude and altitude because of the unequal heating of the earth surface at different latitudes and altitudes which results into atmospheric changes. It also creates different regions and zones.
