Answer:

The correct option is;

A) The water molecules group together in clumps.

Explanation:

To answer the question, we look at each option as follows

A)  The water molecules group together in clumps

This does not aid dissolution of compounds as clumping excludes non polar molecules, making them less soluble.

B) The partial negative oxygen atom end of the water molecule surround cations.

When an ionic compound such as NaCl is dissolved in water, the oxygen atoms surround the positive Na⁺ cations in the solution.

C) The partial positive hydrogen atom end of the water molecule surround anions

When the ionic NaCl compound  is dissolved in water, the hydrogen atoms surround the negative Cl⁻ anions  in the solution.

D) The water molecules also dissolve nonelectrolytes by creating a hydration sphere around the molecule.

Water is able to dissolve nonelectrolytes  by creating an hydration sphere or hydration shell around the molecule.

What is crucial in the formation of metamorphic rock?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer: Heat\pressure control

Explanation: In order to create metamorphic rock, it is vital that the existing rock remain solid and not melt. If there is too much heat or pressure, the rock will melt and become magma.

Explain two advantages and disadvantages of using energy created by nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
alisha [4.7K]
A. NUCLEAR FUSION  is the combination of two atomic nuclei in order to create an atom that in turn creates energy.

A.1 DISADVANTAGES

1. Expensive Construction Costs-
To be able to put up such powerhouse, it needs ostentatious financial support to create a facility and gather experts and scientists.

2. Energy Input vs Energy Output- 
To be able to fuse the two nuclei together, there is a great demand for high levels of heat. Thus to be able to produce large amount of energy, it also needs a large amount of thermal energy which is not reasonable enough.

A.2 ADVANTAGES

1. Barely Any Waste- 
the only by product of nuclear fusion is helium and it is non toxic. This does not cause any harm to the environment and to people.

2. Unlimited Fuel- 
All of the components needed to produce energy can be made. Deuterium, which is the main ingredient needed to supply a truly unlimited and sustainable energy supply, can be distilled from the sea water.


B. NUCLEAR FISSION- refers to the process of splitting of the nucleus of an atom into several smaller particles to produce free neutrons and lighter elements.

B.1 DISADVANTAGES

1. It can be dangerous for employees- 
Radiation which is one of the byproducts of nuclear fission can be harmful to the personnel working within its premises.

2. It has high initial expenses- 
Nuclear power plants needs a specialized equipment for it to become functional. 

B.2 ADVANTAGES


1. It helps minimize environmental pollution- 
Nuclear power plants can produce large amounts of energy while consuming relatively minimal amount of fossil fuel. To explain further, consumption and usage of fossil fuel poses adverse effect in the environment because it can emit carbon dioxide and other harmful chemicals.

2. It helps reduce global warming- If the world would opt for nuclear fission, then there would be less greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. This in turn would mitigate global warming.

Which of the following hydrocarbons has a double bond in its carbon skeleton?1) C3H82) C2H63) CH44) C2H45) C2H2
Kipish [7]

Answer:

  • <u>C₂H₄</u>  (option number 4)

Explanation:

A hydrocarbon with a <em>double bond</em> in its carbon skeleton is an alkene and has the general form:

  • C_nH_{2n}.

This is, the number of hydrogen atoms is twice the number of carbon atoms.

On the other hand, alkanes have only single bonds, and the compounds with a triple bond in its carbon skeleton are alkynes.

Review each choice:

1) <u>C₃H₈:</u>

  • In this case, the number of hydrogen atoms is 2×3 + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8, which is corresponds to an alkane, not an alkene.

2)<u> C₂H₆</u>

  • For this, the number of hydrogen atoms is 2 × 2 + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6. Again an alkane, not alkene.

3) <u>CH₄</u>

  • Hydrogen atoms: 1 × 2 + 2 = 4 ⇒ an alkane

4) <u>C₂H₄ </u>

  • Hydrogen atoms: 2 × 2  = 4.  This is precisely the relation for an alkene, so this is the hydrocarbon that has a double bond in its carbon skeleton.

  • The chemical formula may be writen as CH₂ = CH₂, to show the double bond.

So, this is the correct answer.

5) <u>C₂H₂</u>

  • Hydrogen atoms: 2 × 2 - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2. This relation of carbon and hydrogen atoms corresponds to a compound with triple bond, i.e an alkyne: CH≡CH.
