Answer:
The answer is B. Van der Waals forces are weaker than ionic and covalent bonds.
Explanation:
In general, if we arrange these molecular forces from the strongest to weakest, it would be like this:
Covalent bonds > Ionic bonds > Hydrogen bonds > Dipole-Dipole Interactions > Van der Waals forces
Covalent bonds are known to have the strongest and most stable bonds since they go deep and into the inter-molecular state. A diamond is an example of a compound with this characteristic bond.
Ionic bonds are the next strongest molecular bond following covalent bonds. This is due to the protons and electrons causing an electro-static force which results to the strong bonds. An example would be Sodium Chloride (NaCl), which when separated is Na⁺ and Cl⁻.
Van der Waals forces, also known as Dispersion forces, are the weakest type of molecular bonds. They are only formed through residual molecular attractions when molecules pass by each other. It doesn't even last long due to the uneven electron dispersion. It can be made stronger by adding more electrons in the molecule. This kind of molecular bonds appear in non-polar molecules such as carbon dioxide.

For equal moles of gas, temperature can be calculated from ideal gas equation as follows:
P×V=n×R×T ...... (1)
Initial volume, temperature and pressure of gas is 3.25 L, 297.5 K and 2.4 atm respectively.
2.4 atm ×3.25 L=n×R×297.5 K
Rearranging,
n\times R=0.0262 atm L/K
Similarly at final pressure and volume from equation (1),
1.5 atm ×4.25 L=n×R×T
Putting the value of n×R in above equation,
1.5 atm ×4.25 L=0.0262 (atm L/K)×T
Thus, T=243.32 K
A group of environmentalists were discussing the benefits and drawbacks associated with using fossil fuels. Which argument <span>best </span>fits the conversation?

Mg gained mass because it went from being a single element (on the reactant side) to being a molecule (on the product side).
Answer: Pt(Cl)2(NH3)2
Explanation:
In the formation of the complex, the oxidation number of platinum is plus two (+2) and two chloride ions cancel it out by their oxidation number of -1 each. Hence the complex has an overall charge of zero. It is thus neutral with no charge attached to its formula.
