ANSWER:

Potential energy due to the position of an object above Earth's surface is called gravitational potential energy.

EXPLANATION:

Gravitational energy is the potential energy compared with gravitational force, as work is needed to further things against Earth’s gravity. The potential energy due to high positions is called gravitational potential energy, and is evidenced by water in an elevated storage or kept behind a dam. If an article falls from one point to different point inside a gravitational field, the force of gravitation will do actual work on the object, and the gravitational potential energy will decrease by the same amount.

Table below shows the electronegativities of four elements. Which of the following bonds is the most polar?

Contact [7]

Lets find the electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms;

C-H = 2.6-2.2 = 0.4

C-F = 4.0-2.6 = 1.4

F-F = 4.0-4.0 = 0

H-O = 3.4-2.2 = 1.2

Here the electronegativity difference is highest for C-F bond hence C-F bond is most polar.

How do electrons behave?

agasfer [191]

An electron in motion generates an electromagnetic field and is in turn deflected by external electromagnetic fields. When an electron is accelerated, it can absorb or radiate energy in the form of photons. Electrons, together with atomic nuclei made up of protons and neutrons, make up the
