Answer:

Dipole-dipole attractions

Explanation:

The Cl atom is more electronegative than H, so it attracts the electrons in the H-Cl bond more to itself.

The Cl end of the molecule becomes partially negative (δ-), and the H end becomes more positive (δ+). This separation of charge is called an electric dipole,

When two HCl molecules are near each other, they arrange themselves so that the negative and positive ends of the dipoles line up and attract the two molecules together.

Acidic and basic are two extremes that describe chemicals, just like hot and cold are two extremes that describe temperature. Mixing acids and bases can cancel out their extreme effects, much like mixing hot and cold water can even out the water temperature. A substance that is neither acidic nor basic is neutral.
The character of acidic, basic and neutral is defined by the concentration of hydrogen ions [H+](mol/L). A solution with a concentration of hydrogen ions higher than 10-7mol/L is acidic, and a solution with a lower concentration is alkaline (another way to say basic). Using the formula, pH=-log[H+], a pH of 7 is neutral, a pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic. As one can see from this formula, ten times a given concentration of hydrogen ions means one unit lower in terms of pH value (higher acidity), and vice versa.
The formula for ph is given by:pH=−log10[H+]

What is the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 8?

In calculating for the concentration of hydrogen ion, the formula is given by:[H+]=(10)^(-pH)
Solution:
[H+]=(10)^(-8)[H+]=0.00000001 mol/L

What is the concentration of OH– ions at a pH = 8?pH+pOH=148+pOH=14pOH=6
[OH-]=(10)^(-pOH)[OH-]=(10)^(-6)[OH-]=0.000001
What is the ratio of H+ ions to OH– ions at a pH = 2?The ratio is 0.00000001:0.000001 which is equal to 0.01

8. The time period of artificial satellite in a circular orbit of radius R is T. The radius of the orbit in which time period is

Elena-2011 [213]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The time period of artificial satellite in a circular orbit of radius R is T. The relation between the time period and the radius is given by :

$T^2\propto R^3$

The radius of the orbit in which time period is 8T is R'. So, the relation is given by :

$(\dfrac{T}{T'})^2=(\dfrac{R}{R'})^3$

$(\dfrac{T}{8T})^2=(\dfrac{R}{R'})^3$

$\dfrac{1}{64}=(\dfrac{R}{R'})^3$

$R'=4\times R$

So, the radius of the orbit in which time period is 8T is 4R. Hence, this is the required solution.

In order for carbon to be stable and have 8 electrons, it must make 4 total covalent bonds.

In prefer for oxygen to be stable and have 8 electrons, it must make 2 covalent bonds.

So, we can deduce that CO2 looks like this:

O=C=O

This molecule has two double bonds.
