Methane has london dispersion forces since it is nonpolar. London dispersion force is the weakest intermolecular force, so the forces between its molecules will be weak. This leads to a low boiling point that is lower than room temperature, which makes it a gas at room temperature.

Answer:

hope it helps ❤

Explanation:

Methane only has london dispersion forces since it is nonpolar. London dispersion force is the weakest intermolecular force, so the forces between its molecules will be weak. This leads to a low boiling point that is lower than room temperature, which makes it a gas at room temperature.

A family has a Y-linked disease that affects the father. What is the chance of a male offspring inheriting the same disease?
Tom [10]
Remember that males have an x and y chromosome, while women have two x chromosomes. 

This means that a female offspring (daughter) inherits her father's only x chromosome and one of her mother's x chromosomes, while a male will receive his father's y chromosome and one of his mother's x chromosomes. 

This means that the boy will necessarily inherit his dad's Y chromosome, and any diseases that it carries. 

The chance of a male offspring inheriting the disease is 
A) 100%
