Answer:

(C) CBr₄

Explanation:

The compound CCl₄ has one carbon atom (group 14) and 4 chlorine atoms (halogens). On the basis of the periodic properties, other 4 halogens bonded to carbon would also present nonflammable properties like those of CCl₄ -and thus they could be used as a fire-resistant chemical-, that's why the answer is C) CBr₄

Pick the correct pair of species that can form hydrogen bond with water. (A) CH, HCOOH (B) F, HCOOH (C) F .CH,OCH, (D) Both (B)
Xelga [282]

Answer:

(B) F⁻, HCOOH

Explanation:

(A) CH₄, HCOOH

(B) F⁻, HCOOH

(C) F⁻, CH₃-O-CH₃

The hydrogen bonds are formed when the hydrogen is found between two electronegative atoms such as oxygen (O), nitrogen (N) or florine (F).

O····H-O, F····H-O, O····H-N

(A) CH₄, HCOOH

- here methane CH₄ is not capable to form hydrogen bond with water

- formic acid HCOOH can form hydrogen bonds with water

H-C(=O)-O-H····OH₂

(B) F⁻, HCOOH

-both floride (F⁻) and formic acid can form hydrogen bonds with water

F····OH₂

H-C(=O)-O-H····OH₂

(C) F⁻, CH₃-O-CH₃

-  dimethyl-ether CH₃-O-CH₃ is not capable to form hydrogen bond with water

- floride (F⁻) can form hydrogen bonds with water

F····OH₂

Rock denotation in science
salantis [7]

Answer:

I think you meant rock defination in science

Explanation:

A rock is any naturally occurring solid mass or aggregate of minerals or mineraloid matter. It is categorized by the minerals included, its chemical composition and the way in which it is formed. Rocks are usually grouped into three main groups: igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks and sedimentary rocks.

or

A rock is a solid made up of a bunch of different minerals. Rocks are generally not uniform or made up of exact structures that can be described by scientific formulas. Scientists generally classify rocks by how they were made or formed. There are three major types of rocks: Metamorphic, Igneous, and Sedimentary.
