Answer: Sulphur Dioxide

Explanation: Polarity of the molecule is basically based on -

a) Electro negativity of the individual atoms

b) Structure of the molecule as change will dipole moment or asymmetric structure will lead to the polar molecule.

Sulfur Dioxide has bent structure with 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs. . Thus the molecule is polar

Carbon disulfide has linear structure. Thus there will be no change in dipole moment in the structure thus in non polar.

Ethylene molecule is the most linear molecule thus cannot be polar.

Carbon Tetra chloride is in shape of Tetrahedron thus it is also non polar as no net change in dipole moment can be seen.

Rzqust [24]

If the mass of all of the products in a chemical reaction is equal to 100g then the mass of the reactants in that same reaction had to have had a mass of 100g this is due to the law of conservation of matter stating matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

In your own words, describe how the energy of a pendulum is changed as it moves through one cycle of its motion. Pls help online

ruslelena [56]

In a perfect world without air resistance, the top of the swing would have the most potential energy, but the least amount of kinetic energy. As the pendulum falls down, it gains more kinetic energy as it travels faster due to gravitational acceleration but loses more potential energy as it loses height. The total amount of energy in the system (the sum of kinetic and potential energy) stays the same.

A large, semi-truck hauling a full load and a small car are traveling in the same direction. As they approach a sharp curve in t

WARRIOR [948]

The semi will have the hardest time changing direction because of its mass. The more mass there is, the more effort it takes to accelerate and decelerate as well as change direction.
