\huge\fcolorbox{red}{pink}{Answer ♥}

Life on Earth is based on carbon, likely because each carbon atom can form bonds with up to four other atoms simultaneously. This quality makes carbon well-suited to form the long chains of molecules that serve as the basis for life as we know it, such as proteins and DNA.

Hope it helps uh ✌️✌️✌️

Determine whether each of the molecules below is polar or nonpolar. Tetrahedral C C l 4 CClX4 Nonpolar Tetrahedral C H 3 O H CHX
liraira [26]

Answer:

CCl4 - Nonpolar

CH3OH - polar

NH3 - polar

CS2 - Nonpolar

Explanation:

One important thing that we should know is that polarity has to do with the presence of a resultant dipole moment in a molecule.

Dipole moment is a vector quantity, This means that its direction is also taken into account when discussing the dipole moment of molecules.

Hence, symmetrical molecules such as CS2 and CCl4 are non-polar even though they have polar bonds because their dipoles cancel out(zero resultant dipole moment).

On the other hand, NH3 and CH3OH are non-symmetrical molecules hence they possess an overall dipole moment and are polar molecules.

Tin reacts with fluorine to form two different compounds, A and B. Compound A contains 38.5 g of tin for each 12.3 g of fluorine
Hatshy [7]
Tin to Fluorine mass ratios:
1) For compound A:
38.5/12.3
= 3.13
2) For compound B:
56.5/36.2
= 1.56
The lowest whole number mass ratio is 2. It cannot be 1 because it is less than that required for compound B.

4/10<br> Identify the equation below as molecular or ionic.<br> Mg2+(aq) + 20H-(aq) → Mg(OH)2(s)
Crank

Answer:

Ionic

Explanation:

Magnesium hydroxide is an ionic compound and its formula is Mg(OH)2. An ionic bond is formed between two atoms when one is electron deficient and the other one is electron sufficient.  

Here, Mg2+ is positively charged while OH- is negatively charged. Being oppositely charged strong ionic bonds are formed between these two elements.  

An ionic molecule has high boiling and melting point and is stronger than molecules formed by covalent bonds.
