Why is NH3 polar but CH4 non polar

Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

Nitrogen has a lone pair of electrons. That would mean that NH3 is minus at the left end in this case.

:N H

Methane has its Hs 90 degrees (approximately apart.

H C H

The pulling forces on the methane cancel each other out. When that happens the chemical is non polar.

drek231 [11]

Explanation:

A) particles are close together in random positions with about equal kinetic energy and intermolecular forces.

These points are about liquid state.

B) particles are close together in fixed positions with low kinetic energy

These points satisfy the qualities of Solid state

C)particles are far apart with greater kinetic energy and low intermolecular forces.

How are radioisotopes different from the standard form of an element

meriva

Answer:

Different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei but differing numbers of neutrons. Radioisotopes are radioactive isotopes of an element. They can also be defined as atoms that contain an unstable combination of neutrons and protons, or excess energy in their nucleus.

How do the Carnivorous plants survive without soil?

Mkey [24]

Answer:

Carnivorous plants are easy to grow, if you follow a few, simple rules.

Wet all of the time.
Mineral-free water.
Mineral-free soil.
Lots of light.

Wet all of the time.
Carnivorous plants are native to bogs and similar nutrient-poor habitats. As a consequence, the plants live in conditions that are constantly damp. To grow healthy carnivorous plants, it is important to duplicate their habitat as closely as possible. Keep the soil wet or at least damp all of the time. The easiest way to do this is use the tray method. Set the pots in a tray or saucer, and keep water in it at all times. Pitcher plants can grow in soggy soil with the water level in the saucer as deep as 1/2 the pot, but most carnivorous plants prefer damp to wet soil, so keep the water at about 1/4 inch and refill as soon as it is nearly gone. Water from below, by adding water to the tray, rather than watering the plant. This will avoid washing away the sticky muscilage of the sundews and butterworts and keep from closing the flytraps with a false alarm.

Mineral-free water.
Always use mineral-free water with your carnivorous plants, such as rainwater or distilled water. Try keeping a bucket near the downspout to collect rainwater. Distilled water can be purchased at the grocery store, but avoid bottled drinking water. There are simply too many minerals in it. The condensation line from an air conditioner or heat pump is another source of mineral-free water. Reverse-osmosis water is fine to use. Carnivorous plants grow in nutrient poor soils. The minerals from tap water can “over-fertilize” and “burn out” the plants. In a pinch, tap water will work for a short while, but flush out the minerals with generous portions of rainwater, when it is available.

Mineral-free soil.
The nutrient poor soils to which the carnivorous plants have adapted are often rich in peat and sand. This can be duplicated with a soil mixture of sphagnum peat moss and horticultural sand. Be sure to check the peat label for sphagnum moss. Other types will not work well. The sand should be clean and washed. Play box sand is great, and so is horticultural sand. Avoid “contractor’s sand” which will contain fine dust, silt, clay and other minerals. Never use beach sand or limestone based sand. The salt content will harm the plants. The ratio of the mix is not critical, 1 part peat with 1 part sand works well for most carnivorous plants. Flytraps prefer a bit more sand, and nepenthes prefer much more peat. Use plastic pots, as terra cotta pots will leach out minerals over time and stress your plants.

1. How does protein substance in animal hide or skin be preserved from bacterial infection during tanning?

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

1. By being cured

2. To remove the silica impurities from haemetite

3. The cathode will be bronze while the anode will be the silver

4. i) Wastes from industrial processes

ii) Waste waters and sewage

iii) Dumping of wastes into water bodies

5) Three methods to reduce air pollution includes

i) Promote the use of recycled of materials

ii) Promote and use renewable sources of energy

iii) Limit activities that involve the burning of fuels such as encouraging the use of mass transit buses, preventing the occurrence of fires in forests

Explanation:

1. In order to preserve the proteins in the hides of animal skin from putrefaction they are cured with salt to remove by, osmotic pressure difference, the water content present in the animal hide

2. To remove the silica impurities from haemetite

The calcium oxide obtained from the decomposition of calcium carbonate undergoes a chemical reaction with the sand impurities in the mineral, haematite, to form calcium silicate or s l a g

3. Electroplating involves charging the metal to be electroplated negatively that is making it the cathode and placing it in an electrolytic cell that has a solution of the metal ions containing the metal salts

Therefore, the bronze medal to be plated with silver will be made the cathode while the silver from which we obtain the silver ions will be made the anode

4. Three causes of water pollution includes

Wastes from industrial processes

Waste waters and sewage

Dumping of wastes into water bodies

5. The major causes of air pollution are the oxides produced from the combustion of fossil fuels such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide as well as chemical gases from industrial processes.
