<span>You can compare the strength of the hydrogen bonding by comparing the electronegativities of the other elements. All the four elements, Br, F, Cl and I belong to the same group in the periodic table: group 17 named halogens. Then the kind of bonding they form is similar: polar covalent. You must know the trend of the electronegativities in the periodic table. Electronegativity decrease when you down across a group. Then the electronegativity of F is the higher of the group (indeed, it is the highest of all the 118 elements) . The higher the electronegativity the stronger the attraction that the halogen attracts the electrons and the stronger the hydorgen bonding. Then, the conclusion is that HF has the strongest hydrogen bonding. </span>

PLEASE HELP!?Consumers must eat other organisms for energy. Which organisms are consumers in this food chain?

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Consumers must consume other organisms to get the food that they need and are known as Heterotrophs as they cannot make their own glucose. These consumers eat producers (plants). Herbivores are considered as first order consumers. These consumers eat consumers and producers (animals and plants).

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The choice of the answer is fourth option that is -61 degrees.

Therefore the temperature drop is -61°Centigrade.

Explanation:

Given:

The temperature in a town started out at 55 degrees

Start temperature = 55°Centigrade. (Initial temperature)

End of the Day = -6°Centigrade. (Final temperature)
