Answer:

CH4

Explanation:

London dispersion forces are a type of force acting between atoms and molecules that are normally electrically symmetric; that is, the electrons are symmetrically distributed with respect to the nucleus. They are part of the van der Waals forces(Wikipedia).  It is a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles. This force is sometimes called an induced dipole-induced dipole attraction(Chem Purdue).

If we consider HCl, C2H5OH  and NH3, we will discover that they all have polar bonds. Consequently, dipole - dipole interaction as well as hydrogen bonds exist between their molecules.

CH4 is nonpolar. Being a nonpolar molecule, the only possible intermolecular interaction forces between its molecules is the London dispersion forces.

Explain how a drought poses a threat to life and the biosphere. Use complete sentences.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

A drought poses a huge threat to all life. If a drought occurred the entire food chain would disintegrate within months. There would be no water for any animals or plants. Small mammals would not be able to eat plants, and reptiles would not be able to the small animals, and so on. A drought can destroy an ecosystem in a short amount of time.

Water is only being moved into the air through water vapor, so the air will become hotter than water. Land is also not moving in the atmosphere and absorbing heat like air is, so air will also be hotter than land, depending on what the land is made of.

Through precipitation, water in the atmosphere can return to the hydrosphere or percolate into the ground to become groundwater—part of the geosphere. ... Water in the biosphere can be released into the atmosphere through transpiration in plants, or respiration in animals.

The atomic number and mass number do not change during this type of radioactive decay.
lutik1710 [3]

In gamma decay, no change in proton number occurs, so the atom does not become a different element

Which reaction below represents the first ionization of sb?which reaction below represents the first ionization of ?sb2−(g) → sb
zubka84 [21]
Answer is: Sb(g) → Sb⁺(g) + e⁻.
Neutral atom in gas state lose one valence electron and become cation with postive charge.
<span>The first ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of the valence electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms to produce one mole of gaseous ions each with a charge of 1+.</span>
<span>Most metals have strong metallic bond, because strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.
