Answer:
The predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds:
ammonia (NH3)
methane (CH4)
and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3)
Explanation:
The types of intermolecular forces:
1.Hydrogen bonding: It is a weak electrostatic force of attraction that exists between the hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom like N,O,F.
2.Dipole-dipole interactions: They exist between the oppositely charged dipoles in a polar covalent molecule.
3. London dispersion forces exist between all the atoms and molecules.
NH3 ammonia consists of intermolecular H-bonding.
Methane has London dispersion forces.
Because both carbon and hydrogen has almost similar electronegativity values.
NF3 has dipole-dipole interactions due to the electronegativity variations between nitrogen and fluorine.
Answer:
<em>Zinc nitrate is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula Zn(NO3)2. This white, crystalline salt is highly deliquescent and is typically encountered as a hexahydrate Zn(NO3)2•6H2O. It is soluble in both water and alcohol.</em>

correct me if im wrong please
The choices that should have accompanied this question were:
A. 1
<span>B. 2 </span>
<span>C. 3 </span>
<span>D. 4
</span>
My answer is B. 2.
Below is an explanation, I found while doing the research.
<span>Phosphate needs 3 electrons each totaling 6 electrons so each zinc will need to give up 2 electrons.
Phosphate wants to imitate the electron configuration of Argon because noble configurations are the most stable. With P getting the extra electrons the valence shell will be 3s2 3p6, which is the same as Argon. Without the extra electrons, the P valence shell looks like this 3s2 3p3, now you can see why each phosphorus wants 3 more electrons, that will make it 3s2 3p6, just like Argon.</span>
