Answer: CuSO4>2-butanol> C4H9OH>C2H6>C3H8

Explanation:

Ionic substances are highly soluble in water. CuSO4 is an ionic salt composed of Cu2+ and SO42- ions. These ions are solvated in water hence the salt easily dissolves in the surrounding water molecules. this accounts for the fact that it is the most soluble of the five substances in water. 2-butanol contains the -OH group which interacts with water by hydrogen bonding. This accounts for the miscibility of alkanols with water in all proportions. however, this solubility in water decreases as the alky backbone increases. hence C4H9OH is less soluble in water that 2-butanol. Alkanes are usually not quite soluble in water but again solubility decreases with increase in the alky backbone hence propane is less soluble in water than ethane.

Describe the quantum model of an atom in terms of energy levels, sublevels, and orbitals. (Any atom is acceptable)
irakobra [83]
<span>Quantum mechanic model is based on mathematics. As per this theory the exact position and momentum of electron is impossible to understand. It uses complex shapes of orbitals called electron clouds. n describes the energy of an electron. Larger the value of n larger the distance of electron from the nucleus and larger the orbital. l describles the shape of orbital. Orbitals having same of value of n and different values for l are called subshells.</span>

Why boron trifluoride is nonpolar and sulphur dioxide is polar
ella [17]

it small because that bond is not very polar notice that all of those arrows they cancel. because they point in opposite directions. that's why BH 3 is nonpolar if we were to draw the Lewis structure of bf3. ... so even though the boron fluorine bond is polar the molecule as a whole is nonpolar.
