Answer:

The central atom is also usually the least electronegative.

Explanation:

The central atom is usually the least electronegative element in the molecule or ion; hydrogen and the halogens are usually terminal.

The least electronegative elements in the center of lewis structures because an atom in the central position shares more of its electrons than does a terminal atom. Atoms with higher electronegative are generally more reluctant to share its electrons.

Answer:

The central atom in a lewis structure tends to be the least electronegative atom.

Explanation:

Lewis structures show each atom and its position in the structure of the molecule using its chemical symbol.

In Lewis structure, the central atom tends to be the least electronegative atom. Usually the central atom will be the one that has the most unpaired valence electrons or  least electronegative.

Therefore, the best phrase that completes the sentence is "least electronegative".

Resistors examples.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Multiply the resistances. Example: Two resistors in parallel, 100 and 200 ohms. 100 x 200 = 20,000

Add the resistances. Example: 100 + 200 = 300

Divide the result in Step 1 by the result in Step 2. This gives you the total resistance. Example: 20,000 / 300 = 66.7 ohms.

The cylindrical head bolts on a car are to be tightened with a torque of 63.3 N · m. If a mechanic uses a wrench of length 18.2
Nataly_w [17]

Answer: The perpendicular force to be used to tighten the bolt is

F=347.8N

Explanation:

Mathematically the torque is expressed as

T=F*L

Where T= torque in Nm

F= force in N

And L = perpendicular distance

Now given

T=63.3Nm

L=18.2cm to meter 18.2/100

0.182m

F=?

Making F the subject of the formula in our equation

F=T/L

F=63.3/0.182

F=347.8N

What is torque?

Torque is the product of force and perpendicular distance of the line of action.
