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

Chemistry

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.

What is the proper way of collection, preservation and transition of hair?​
Murrr4er [49]
An investigator can collect hairs they observe visually (with tweezers or by hand), and they can also use clear tape to lift non-visible hair from a variety of surfaces, such as clothing. Other methods of hair sample collection include combing and clipping methods.

Can someone help me fill out the chart and explain what i should do, please?

To determine the electronegativity for each bond you need to calculate the difference of electronegativity of the atoms forming the bond.  

If the difference is equal or greater than 1.7 you have an ionic bond.

If the difference is between 0.4 and 1.6  you have a polar covalent bond.

If the difference is between 0 and less than 0.4 you have a nonpolar covalent bond.  

1) In NH₃ there is a nitrogen - hydrogen bond.  

electronegativity of nitrogen - electronegativity of hydrogen =

3 - 2.2 = 0.8 → polar covalent bond

2) In N₂ there is a nitrogen-nitrogen bond.

electronegativity of nitrogen - electronegativity of nitrogen =

3 - 3 = 0 → nonpolar covalent bond

3) In H₂O there is an oxygen - hydrogen bond.  

electronegativity of oxygen - electronegativity of hydrogen =

3.5 - 2.2 = 1.3 → polar covalent bond

4) In PCl₃ there is a chlorine - phosphorus bond.  

electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of phosphorus = 3 - 2.1 = 0.9 → polar covalent bond

4) In HBr there is a bromine - hydrogen bond.  

electronegativity of bromine - electronegativity of hydrogen = 2.8 - 2.2 = 0.6 → polar covalent bond

5) In MgCl₂ there is a chlorine - magnesium bond.  

electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of magnesium = 3 - 1.2 = 1.8 → ionic bond

6) In F₂ there is a fluorine - fluorine  bond.  

electronegativity of fluorine - electronegativity of fluorine =

4 - 4 = 0 → nonpolar covalent bond

7) In CO₂ there is an oxygen - carbon bond.  

electronegativity of oxygen- electronegativity of carbon =

3.5 - 2.5 = 1 → polar covalent bond

8) In LiCl there is a chlorine - lithium bond.  

electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of lithium =

3 - 1 = 2 → ionic bond

9) In Na₂O there is an oxygen - sodium bond.

electronegativity of oxygen - electronegativity of sodium =

3.5 - 0.9 = 2.6 → ionic bond

10)  In CCl₄ there is a chlorine - carbon bond.  

electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of carbon =

3 - 2.5 = 0.5 → polar covalent bond

4. The picture shows a full moon.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

A full moon occurs when the Moon appears as a complete circle in the sky.

Explanation:

- We see it as a full orb because the whole of the side of the Moon facing the Earth is lit up by the Sun's rays.

- The moon shows no visible light of its own, so we only see the parts of the moon that are lit up by other objects.
