The molecule BH3 is trigonal planar, with B in the center and H in the three vertices. Ther are no free electrons. All the valence electrons are paired in and forming bonds.
There are four kind of intermolecular attractions: ionic, hydrogen bonds, polar and dispersion forces.
B and H have very similar electronegativities, Boron's electronegativity is 2.0 and Hydrogen's electronegativity is 2.0.
The basis of ionic compounds are ions and the basis of polar compounds are dipoles.
The very similar electronegativities means that B and H will not form either ions or dipoles. So, that discards the possibility of finding ionic or polar interactions.
Regarding, hydrogen bonds, that only happens when hydrogen bonds to O, N or F atoms. This is not the case, so you are sure that there are not hydrogen bonds.
When this is the case, the only intermolecular force is dispersion interaction, which present in all molecules.
Then, the answer is dispersion interaction.
Answer: I think it’s the first one
I believe the answer would be C. slows down, hope this helps:)
Answer:
bond angles of 120 degrees.
<u>Given:</u>
Moles of He = 15
Moles of N2 = 5
Pressure (P) = 1.01 atm
Temperature (T) = 300 K
<u>To determine:</u>
The volume (V) of the balloon
<u>Explanation:</u>
From the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
where P = pressure of the gas
V = volume
n = number of moles of the gas
T = temperature
R = gas constant = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K
In this case we have:-
n(total) = 15 + 5 = 20 moles
P = 1.01 atm and T = 300K
V = nRT/P = 20 moles * 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K * 300 K/1.01 atm = 487.7 L
Ans: Volume of the balloon is around 488 L
