Answer : Option C) The polar bonds are oriented in opposite direction.

Explanation : A molecule of carbon dioxide (CO_{2}) contains two polar covalent bonds. This molecule is non-polar because the polar bonds are oriented in the opposite direction.

In order to be a polar molecule, carbon dioxide must have both a slightly negative side and a slightly positive side in its molecule. The orientation of the lone pairs of electrons present on each oxygen atom cancels each other, making the molecule non polar.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Shape of a CO_{2} molecule is linear, that is, carbon atom resides at the center and each oxygen atom lies on its left and right side.

Since, oxygen is more electronegative than carbon so, dipole moment will be towards oxygen atom. Hence, dipole moment cancel out as the bonds are in opposite directions.

Therefore, we can conclude that a molecule of carbon dioxide is non-polar because the polar bonds are oriented in opposite directions.

Andrei [34K]

The most stable conformation of 3-isopropyl-1,1dimethylcyclohexane equatorial ethyl group (more stable).  The stability of ethylcyclohexane's equatorial conformer exceeds that of its axial conformer by 7.4 kJ/mol.

According to the previous section, the chair conformation with the equatorial methyl group is more stable because it reduces steric repulsion, and as a result, the equilibrium favors the more stable conformer. Strongly favoring the equatorial shape is methylcyclohexane. The methyl group is in close proximity to the axial hydrogens in the axial conformation, which has an energetically unfavorable effect known as a 1,3-diaxial interaction. The methyl group prefers the equatorial shape as a result.  The conformation of ethylcyclohexane in which the ethyl group is in the equatorial position is the most stable.

the beaker contains 0.2556 m h2so3 and the buret contains 0.3106 m naoh what happens to the conductivity during titration
taurus [48]

Answer:

Before the equivalence point, conductivity is decreasing. After the equivalence point, conductivity is increasing

Explanation:

In solution H2SO3 produce H+ ions and SO3²⁻ ions. In the same way, NaOH produce Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions. The conductivity of a solution is directly proportional to the concentration of ions in a solution. During titration, you are adding more NaOH (That is, more Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions). But each moles of OH⁻ reacts with H⁺ ion producing H₂O. That means the moles of Na⁺ that you are adding = Moles of H⁺ are been consumed. The concentration of ions remains approximately constant. But, H⁺ ion conducts better than Na⁺ ion. That means before the equivalence point, conductivity is decreasing. But after the equivalence point you will add OH- ions in excess increasing ion concentration increasing the conductivity:

After equivalence point, conductivity is increasing.
