<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.

<h2>Answer</h2>

The volume will be<u> 50 L</u>

<h2>Explanation</h2>

From Kelvin Law of Temperature, we know that

$V_{1} T_{1} =V_{2} T_{2}$

We know that

$V_{1}$ = 200 L

$T_1$ = 100 K

$T_2$ = 400 K

So,

$V_{2} = V_{1} T_{1}/T_{2}$

$V_{2} = 200*100/400$

$V_{2} = 50 L$

The answer of the givern question is 50L

Answer:

graphite

Explanation:

Graphite is opaque, a very good lubricant, a good conductor of electricity, and a thermal insulator. Allotropes of carbon are not limited to diamond and graphite, but also include buckyballs (fullerenes), amorphous carbon, glassy carbon, carbon nanofoam, nanotubes, and others.

These could all go either way, hardness and other special properties are what I'm guessing would be the most accurate in determining the kind of material.
luster, cleavage, streak, and color can all be affected by other factors. but I guess cleavage would also be accurate. so I guess hardness special properties and cleavage would be the most reliable.
