An atom is the smallest unit if a matter that has properties of an element.
A molecule is a single unit created by two or more atoms that are tightly bonded together.
Hope this helped :)

Choose the selection which correctly characterizes all three of the following substances in terms of whether they are polar or n
ohaa [14]

Answer:

SiH4 is nonpolar and BBr3 is nonpolar and SiF4 is nonpolar.

Explanation:

SiH4 is a non-polar compound. Though the Si–H bonds are polar, as a result of different electronegativities of Si and H. However, as there are 4 electron repulsions around the central Si atom, the polar bonds are arranged symmetrically around the central atom having a tetrahedral shape hence they cancel out making the compound nonpolar.

SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule because the fluorine atoms are arranged symetrically around the central silicon atom in a tetrahedral molecule with all of the regions of negative charge cancelling each other out just like in SiH4.

The 3 bromine atoms all lie in the same plane thus the geometry of the compound will be trigonal planar. The BBr3 will be non polar because the three B-Br bonds will cancel out each others' dipole moment given that they are in the same plane.

A square chunk of plastic has a length of 5 cm, width of 5 cm and height of 5 cm. It has a mass of 200 g. What is it’s density
vichka [17]

Answer:

1.6g/mL

Explanation:

Density equation is D=m/v

Density = g/mL

m=mass of sample in grams

v = volume of sample in mL

The volume of a square can be calculated by V=l*w*h.

In this case it is 5cm*5cm*5cm = 125cm^3

Since we know that 1cm^3 ~ 1mL we can convert the volume to mL as so:

125cm^3 (1mL/(1cm^3)) = 125mL

Then simply plug into the density equation:

D=200g/125mL = 1.6g/mL
