Lithium is a good reducing agent because it is electropositive [it rapidly gains electrons]
fluorine is  good oxidizing agent electronegative [it loses electrons fastly]

Consider a bent molecule, such as H2Se, in which the central atom has two lone pairs of electrons. The electronegativities of H
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Based on these values and on consideration of molecular geometry, the H-Se bond can be considered almost _____non-polar___ and the molecule is __polar_____.

Explanation:

Looking at the difference in electro negativity of the two elements; hydrogen and selenium, one may be led to the conclusion that the molecule is nonpolar since the magnitude of electronegative between the two bonding atoms is minimal.

However, electro negativity difference alone is insufficient to determine the polarity of a molecule. The structure of the molecule is also considered. Based on the structure of the molecule, it is expected to have a dipole moment. Hence the molecule is polar.

If the change in entropy of the surroundings for a process at 451 k and constant pressure is -326 j/k, what is the heat flow abs
Arisa [49]

If the change in entropy of the surroundings for a process at 451 k and constant pressure is -326 j/k, then heat flow absorbed (in kj) by the system is -147.026kJ.

<h3>What is entropy? </h3>

The entropy of particle is defined as how random it move. It shows the randomness of the system or may be disorders of the system. It is used to measure the unavailable energy for performing useful work.

Unit of entropy = J/K

<h3>Formula:</h3>

∆s = ∆Q/T

where,

∆s = change in entropy of the surrounding = -326J/K

∆Q = heat absorbed from surrounding

T = Temperature = 451K

∆Q = ∆s × T

∆Q = -326 × 451

∆Q = 147,026 J

∆Q = 147.026 kJ

Thus we find that the heat absorbed by the system is 147.026 kJ.
