Carbon dioxide is a nonpolar molecule true of false

Chemistry
1 answer:
denis-greek [22]3 years ago
7 0
This statement is TRUE.

The polarity of the molecule is caused by unequal sharing of the electrons in the covalent bond. Even though the carbon dioxide molecule is made from two different atoms, two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom, the CO2 molecule is non polar because of the structure of the molecule.
The CO2 has a linear, symmetrical structure. This means that the two oxygen atoms with greater electronegativity are symmetrically placed around the carbon molecule. This arrangement of atoms causes a balance in the sharing of the electrons, making the molecule non polar.

Find the equation of the line passing through the points (2, 1) and (5, 10).​
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The equation : y=3x-5

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Straight-line equations are mathematical equations that are described in the plane of cartesian coordinates

General formula

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

or

y = mx + c

Where

m = straight-line gradient which is the slope of the line

x1, y1 = the Cartesian coordinate that is crossed by the line

c = constant

The formula for a gradient (m) between 2 points in a line

m = Δy / Δx

  • Gradient

\tt \dfrac{10-1}{5-2}=3

  • Equation

\tt y-1=3(x-2)\\\\y-1=3x-6\\\\y=3x-5

Assume that your electrical power company gets its energy from a hydroelectric dam. Outline all of the energy changes that occur
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

This isn't chemistry. Its physics. Kinetic energy (water) to electric energy (dam) as the hydroelectric dam works. Then, as the current travels from the plant to your crib, electric energy to heat energy (wire resistance). Then when you are using the dryer electric energy to heat energy (hot air) and sound energy (air particles vibrate due to the heat energy).

How many atoms are in the 3.5 moles of arsenic atoms?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Number of atom in one mole = 6.022 × 10²³
So, in 3.5 moles, it would be: = 6.022 × 10²³ * 3.5 = 2.1 × 10²⁴

In short, Your Answer would be 2.1 × 10²⁴ atoms

Hope this helps!
