no gas pressure in a vacuum - like space

nothing to 'contain' the gas

we have air pressure because of gravity -
air is like waves over the earth - i.e. high and low pressure
high means a lot of air
low means a little and a hurricane or stormy weather is imminent

all the best

Is density a chemical or physical property of a substance?

pychu [463]

Answer:

A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. Physical properties include color, density, hardness, and melting and boiling points. A chemical property describes the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change.

Given the formula representing a molecule:

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

B) Symmetrical and nonpolar

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is H-C≡C-H.

Each C atom has two electron regions, so VSEPR theory predicts a linear molecular geometry (see image below).

The molecule is symmetrical, because the green line divides the molecule into two halves that are mirror images of each other.

The C-H bonds are slightly polar, because C is more electronegative than H (µ ≈ 0.4 D).

The C atoms are partially negative (red), while the H atoms are partially positive (blue).

However, the two C-H bond dipoles point in opposite directions, so they cancel each other. The molecule has no net dipole moment.

Acetylene is nonpolar.
