Answer: Electronegativity increases as the size of an atom decrease.
Explanation: Electronegativity is the measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract electrons to itself.
Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.
Towards the left of the table, valence shells are less than half full, so these atoms (metals) tend
to lose electrons and have low electronegativity. Towards the right of the table, valence shells are more than half full, so these atoms (nonmetals) tend to gain electrons and have high electronegativity.
Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. The increased distance and the increased shielding weaken the nuclear attraction, and so an atom can’t attract electrons as strongly.
CH3 is the empirical formula for the compound.
A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17g of Carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen.
The number of atom or moles in the compound is
1.17 g C X 1 mol of C / 12.011 g C = 0.097411 mol of C.
0.287 g H x 1 mol of H / 1 g H = 0.28474 mol H.
This compound contains 0.097411 mol of carbon and 0.28474 mol of Hydrogen.
So we can represent the compound with the formula C0.974H0.284.
Subscripts in formulas can be made into whole numbers by multiplying the smaller subscript by the larger subscript.
we can divide 0.284 by 0.0974.
0.284 / 0.0974 = 3.
So here, Carbon is one and hydrogen is 3.
We can write the above formula as a CH3.
Hence the empirical formula for the sample compound is CH3.

True
Explanation:
Harry Hess in 1961 resurrected Wegener's continental drift hypothesis and also he mantle convection idea of Arthur Holmes by postulating the theory of sea floor spreading.
- After Wegener's postulation of the continental drift hypothesis, not much was done.
- It was only around 1931 that Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a convecting mantle.
- After the second world war passed, new instruments were used to investigate and map the ocean floor.
- Through this, Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a spreading sea floor.
- This gave a full gleam picture to the idea of a moving earth and the more accepted terminology of "Plate tectonics " came to the fore.

Explanation:
1 calorie = 4.184J/g×°C
This also happens to be the specific heat capacity of water, which is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1mL of water by 1°C
