Answer: The correct option is A) a nitrogen molecule.

Explanation:

Polar covalent molecules are defined as chemical compounds in which the difference in electronegativity between the atoms is not equal to 0. These molecules are formed by heteronuclear molecules.

Heteronuclear molecules are defined as the molecules which are formed by the combination of more than one type of atom having a different nucleus.

Non-polar covalent molecules are defined as chemical compounds in which the difference in electronegativity between the atoms is equal to 0. These molecules are formed by homonuclear molecules.

Homonuclear molecules are defined as the molecules which are formed by the combination of one type of atom having the same nucleus.

From the given options:

A) A nitrogen molecule

It is a homonuclear molecule formed by the combination of 2 nitrogen atoms

B) A nitrogen monoxide molecule

It is a heteronuclear molecule formed by the combination of 1 nitrogen and 1 oxygen atoms

C) A linear nitrogen oxide molecule $(N_2O)$ with nitrogen in the center

It is a heteronuclear molecule formed by the combination of 2 nitrogen and 1 oxygen atom and has some dipole moment. Thus, is considered a polar molecule

D) A bent nitrogen dioxide molecule $(NO_2)$ with nitrogen in the center

It is a heteronuclear molecule formed by the combination of 1 nitrogen and 2 oxygen atoms and has some dipole moment. Thus, is considered a polar molecule

Hence, the correct option is A) a nitrogen molecule.

hi:) anyone able to explain no.2 of what happens to particles of a solid that is heated until it melts? I don’t understand it. T

Viefleur [7K]

In a solid the particles are all really close together and stuck like that. As the solid melts and becomes a liquid the particles spread out. A solid won’t easily change its shape because the particles are bound together but in a liquid the shape is more fluid, take water when you pour it into a container it will change to fit the shape of a container this is because the particles aren’t as close and can move around. The particles of a solid change when it melts because it is changing states to a liquid.

How is acids and bases connected to Physical Science?

Arada [10]

An acid is an ionic compound that produces positive hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. Acids taste sour and turn blue litmus paper red. A base is an ionic compound that produces negative hydroxide ions when dissolved in water. Bases taste bitter and turn red litmus paper blue.

What is the concentration of h+ ions in a solution of hydrochloric acid that was prepared by diluting 35.0 ml of concentrated (1

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Hydrochloric acid ionisation is as follows;
HCl ---> H⁺ + Cl⁻
HCl is a strong base so there's complete dissociation of acid to H⁺ ions
The number of HCl moles is equivalent to number of H⁺ ions present
1 L of solution contains - 11.6 moles of H⁺ ions
In 35 ml number of moles - 11.6 mol/L / 1000 ml x 35 ml = 0.406 mol
This number of moles are dissolved in 500 ml
therefore molarity = 0.406 mol /500 ml x 1000 ml = 0.812 M

The volume of a gas is 550 mL at 960 mm Hg and 200.0 C. What volume

Masja [62]

Answer:

The volume will be 568.89 mL.

Explanation:

Boyle's law says that "The volume occupied by a given gaseous mass at constant temperature is inversely proportional to pressure"

Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:

Pressure * Volume = constant

or P * V = k

Gay-Lussac's law indicates that when there is a constant volume, as the temperature increases, the pressure of the gas increases. And when the temperature is decreased, the pressure of the gas decreases. That is, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. Gay-Lussac's law can be expressed mathematically as follows:

$\frac{P}{T}=k$

Where P = pressure, T = temperature, K = Constant

Finally, Charles's law indicates that as the temperature increases, the volume of the gas increases and as the temperature decreases, the volume of the gas decreases. In summary, Charles's law is a law that says that when the amount of gas and pressure are kept constant, the quotient that exists between the volume and the temperature will always have the same value:

$\frac{V}{T}=k$
