Methane is a gas at room temperature and pressure. Explain why this is the case.

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.

An atom of which element has the greatest attraction for the electrons in a bond with a hydrogen atom?

Nadusha1986 [10]

The question can be changed into a new form:
Which element has the most negative electron affinity, or attraction for electrons? halogens have the highest electron affinities, and thus are more attracted to the electrons in the Hydrogen atom than any element in their respective periods.
In this case all the following choices are in the same period, thus Cl or Chlorine is the answer as it is a halogen.

Write a note on Polygenic disorder.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

a note? well alright

Explanation:

Polygenic disease: (the defintion)

A genetic disorder that is caused by the combined action of more than one gene.

Polygenic conditions: hypertension, coronary heart disease, and diabetes.

This is so because such disorders depend on the simultaneous presence of several genes, they are not inherited as simply as are single-gene diseases.

Calculate the number of joules released when 72.5 grams of water at 95.0 degrees Celsius cools to a final temperature of 28.0 de

Airida [17]

Water's specific heat capacity is 4200 J/Kg°C
95-28=67
72.5grams in kg is 0.0725kg
Energy = 67×0.0725×4200
Energy = 20,401.5 J or 20.4015 kJ
