Answer: Sensory adaptation refers to a reduction in sensitivity to a stimulus after constant exposure to it. While sensory adaptation reduces our awareness of a constant stimulus, it helps free up our attention and resources to attend to other stimuli in the environment around us.

Blababa [14]
<span>The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behavior.

In N</span>₂, three electrons are being shared by each nitrogen atom, making a total of 6 shared electrons.

In CCl₄, 4 electrons are being shared by each carbon atom and 1 electron is being shared by each chlorine atom

In SiO₂, 4 electrons are being shared by each silicon atom and 2 electrons are being shared by each oxygen atom.

In AlCl₃, 3 electrons are being shared by each aluminum atom and 1 electron is being shared by each Cl atom

In CaCl₂, 2 electrons are lost by the calcium atom and 1 electron is gained by each chlorine atom

In LiBr, 1 electron is lost by the lithium atom and 1 electron is gained by the bromine atom

What is the volume of 13.21 g of ethane gas (C2H6) at STP?
yuradex [85]

The volume at STP : 9.856 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Mass of ethane : 13.21 g

Required

The volume at STP

Solution

Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP, Vm is 22.4 liters / mol.

mol ethane(C2H6) :

= mass : molar mass

= 13.21 g : 30 g/mol

= 0.44

Volume at STP :

= 0.44 x 22.4 L

= 9.856 L

What intermolecular force(s) is/are present in solid SO3?
guapka [62]

Answer:

1. London dispersion

Explanation:

Sulphur trioxide ( SO₃ ) -

The chemical compound SO₃ is planar in structure , the only intermolecular forces shown by SO₃ is the London forces .

dipole - dipole is not observed in this compound , as it is not possible to generate poles between the sulfur and oxygen atom due to very less difference in the electronegativity .

Hydrogen bonding is also not observed , because there is not hydrogen atom .

Hence , only London forces are observed in SO₃ .

Explain the chemistry behind global warming in 3-5 sentences
Oliga [24]

Answer:

When factories mass produce something it produces smoke. That smoke can be harmful to something called the ozone layer. The ozone layer is part of earth's atmosphere that protects us from the suns burning heat. When that layer is damaged the sun's heat burns through heating up the world and melting ice causing the water levels to rise. All of this can make working conditions less safe, cause more flooding, and have the sun cause cancer.
