<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A covalent bond is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms combining. The atom which attracts the shared pair of electron towards itself is more electronegative and the atom which does not attracts the shared pair of electron towards itself is less electronegative.

In HCl molecule, more electronegative atom is chlorine atom having an electronegativity of 3.16 and hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1

So, majority of shared electrons will be found near to the chlorine atom in hydrochloric molecule.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

What is the gasoline doing to our environment?
luda_lava [24]
Gasoline use contributes to air pollution
Gasoline is a toxic and highly flammable liquid. The vapors given off when gasoline evaporates and the substances produced when gasoline is burned (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and unburned hydrocarbons) contribute to air pollution. Burning gasoline also produces carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.

How many moles of kf are contained in 244 ml of 0.135 m kf solution? the density of the solution is 1.22 g/ml?
galben [10]
The Molarity of a solution = number of moles / volume.  
Volume = 244ml = 0.244L
 So it follows that number of moles = Molarity * volume 
 Number of moles = 0.135 * 0.244 = 0.03945.
 Hence the number of moles = 0.03945
