The ch4 molecule exhibits hydrogen bonding.
This statement is false. A CH4 molecule do not have a hydrogen bonding instead it has dipole dipole attraction.
Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to an N, O, or F atom.
This would be a true statement. A hydrogen bond is present when an atom of hydrogen shares electrons with O, N or F atom.
A hydrogen bond is equivalent to a covalent bond.
This is a false statement. A hydrogen bond is an intermolecular force of attraction while covalent bond is a intramolecular force. So, they would mean different things.
a hydrogen bond is possible with only certain hydrogen-containing compounds.
This would be true. Without the presence of an hydrogen atom definitely there would be no hydrogen bond.
a hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge when it is covalently bonded to an f atom.
This would be true since a HF is a polar molecule.
Elements in the third row can break the octet rule
Whenever any substance goes under chemical change so any of the reaction will happen either both or multiple compounds will combine to produce combination reaction either one compound will decompose itself into 2 or more compounds or elements and last one is replacement reaction the either reaction is not even going to combination nor decomposition, So when a reaction like that happens it must replacement reaction.
Now the question is what's the condition required for it, so basically a chemical reaction when takes place it depends upon several factor on the basis of which we conclude products. The factors are Temperature,catalyst,reagents, either what is the mechanism of reaction, stability of reactants and stability of products and alot more.
During reaction sometimes gas forms and sometimes not yea and well that also depends on the chemical reactivity and stability of product sometimes product found itself most stable releasing the gas evolving so it's been done itself and sometimes we add catalyst and adjust the reaction to extract that gas and get desirable product manually.
I wrote all i know if sorry if this is not what you're looking for :(
The correct answer is "B. Make a Hypothesis".
