Which of the following statements is true about the strength of the intermolecular forces in CH4 and NH3?

Chemistry
1 answer:
inn [45]3 years ago

Answer:- C) CH_4 because the NH bond is more polar than CH bond.

Explanations:- methane is tetrahedral and it is symmetrical as all the bonds are same. Also, the electron negativity difference of C and H is too low and the molecule is almost non polar and makes the methane to have London dispersion forces.

Ammonia is trigonal pyramidal due to the presence of lone pair of electrons on central nitrogen atom. Nitrogen is highly electron negative atom so the N-H bond is more polar. Also, hydrogen bonding is possible in ammonia as the hydrogen is bonded to more electron negative nitrogen atom.

First option is not correct as the inter molecular forces are weaker in methane as compared to ammonia. Methane has only London dispersion forces where as ammonia has dipole-dipole as well as hydrogen bonding.

Second option is also not correct because the carbon has less partial negative charge as compared to N due to less electron negativity difference of C and H atoms.

Last choice is also not correct since the hydrogen bonding is not present in methane.

So, the only and only correct choice is C) CH_4 because the NH bond is more polar than CH bond.

Show that, with appropriate coefficients, the two reactions can be summed to give the overall oxidation of SO2 by O2 to give SO3
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We know that the process of the oxidation of SO2 to SO3 is catalysed by NO2 gas. It occurs in two stages and i will show the balanced reaction equation of the both stages below;

Step 1

2NO2(g) + 2SO2(g) ------> 2NO(g) + 2SO3(g)

Step 2

2NO(g) + O2(g) -------> 2NO2(g)

So, the overall reaction equation is;

2SO2(g) + O2(g) ------> 2SO3(g)

What are some advantages and disadvantages to the acid rain management techniques?
mr_godi [17]
Disadvantages of acid rain:
• Acid rain affects the fresh water ponds and lakes and destroys the aquatic life as some species of fishes are rare and may be extinct
• it can affect the trees particularly those that are high altitude
• It can damage historical monuments and buildings
•soil can be affected and can lead to deaths of good microbes

Advantages of acid rain:
• it makes holes in limestone below ground, which creates caves and places to store groundwater, as well as providing habitat for some species
• But the new study shows that sulfuric in acid may have benefits, limiting global warming by counteracting the natural production of methane gases by microbes in wetland areas.

Of course you should do more studying on acid rain but these are the simple ones

Describe the Rutherford model... and and what are its limitation...<br><br>going offline forever ✌️​
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Limitations of Rutherford Atomic Model

Although the Rutherford atomic model was based on experimental observations it failed to explain certain things. Rutherford proposed that the electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed paths called orbits. ... Ultimately the electrons would collapse in the nucleus.
