A true statement about mass is that:
1 answer:
Answer:
(c.) as the force of Earth's gravity on an object increases, the object's mass increases
Explanation:
Based on newton's law of gravitation "every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the particles and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".
It is mathematically expressed as:
F =
F is the gravitational force on either particle
m₁ and m₂ are the masses
r is the distance between particles
G is the universal gravitation constant.
From this expression, we see that the force of earth's gravity is directly proportional to mass.

The structure of Methanol (CH₃OH) is shown below. This structure contains 2 lone pair of electrons on oxygen (highlighted red). Electronic configuration of oxygen is,
Oxygen = 8 = 1s², 2s², 2px², 2py¹, 2pz¹
There are six electrons in valence shell of oxygen, among these six electrons two electrons are unpaired and involved in forming covalent bond with hydrogen and carbon, while remaining 4 electrons in pair (i.e. 2s², 2px²) exists as lone pairs.
