Answer:

When hydrogen is attached to a more electronegative element, the electronegative atom becomes partially negative and the hydrogen atom becomes partially positive

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to draw electrons closer to itself when it is bound to another different chemical element through a covalent bond, that is, where electrons share, considering that molecule as isolated.

Because of electronegativity when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to a more electronegative atom, the hydrogen electron is strongly attracted to the other atom, leaving hydrogen partially positive.

Take for example an HCl molecule. The chlorine atom attracts electrons with greater intensity than hydrogen. Therefore, we say that chlorine is more electronegative than hydrogen. This forms an electric dipole (μ), which are two electric monopoles, with electrons tending to be more attracted to chlorine. Then the H ─ Cℓ bond will have a negative partial charge on chlorine (δ-) and a positive partial charge on hydrogen (δ +). So this is a molecule with electronegativity difference and is polar.

A car with a mass of 3,500lbs accelerates negatively from 35m/s to 8m/s in 8s. What is the

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

$a=-3.37\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

A car accelerates negatively from 35m/s to 8m/s in 8s.

We need to find the car's acceleration.

Initial speed, u = 35 m/s

Final speed, v = 8 m/s

Time, t = 8 s

The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So,

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

Put all the values,

$a=\dfrac{8-35}{8}\\\\a=-3.37\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is equal to $-3.37\ m/s^2$ .

11. As the Sun's radiation passes through the atmosphere, some of it is reflected back into space.

12. About 25% of Incoming solar radiation is reflected back to space by clouds and tiny particles in the air.

13. Another 5 percent is reflected back into space by land and sea surfaces.

14. Only about 20 percent of incoming solar radiation reaches and is absorbed by Earth's surface.

15. The Sun's Energy is responsible for Climate and Weather.

Why do cells have a limit to how big or small they can be?

Pepsi [2]

Cells are so little, so they can maximize their ratio of surface area to volume. Smaller cells have a higher ratio which allow more molecules and ions move across the cell membrane per unit of cytoplasmic volume. Cells are so small because they need to be able to get the nutrients in and the waste out quickly.

Explain how to get the mole of any compound

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Explanation

To get a mole of a compound just add up the molar mass

For example: O2

1 mole of oxygen is 16g

1 mole of O2= 32g

You can find the molar mass of each individual element on the periodic table of elements
