A student asks a class the following question, “Polyethylene has a relatively short formula (C2H4) while nylon has a long formul

a (C12H22N2O2). However, in a toothbrush, the handle is relatively long while the bristles are relatively short. How is this possible?”
Choose the explanation below that best responds to the student’s question.


A
Molecules are so small that they cannot be seen with a naked eye. Therefore, being a slightly bigger molecule on that scale will not influence how big the part of the toothbrush is.

B
In a toothbrush, the polyethylene chain is most likely a longer chain of molecules than the nylon chain, making the handle longer than the bristles.

C
Polyethylene is used for the bristles and nylon is used for the handle, because the size of the molecule does determine the size of the object being built by the molecules.

D
Polyethylene has a short formula, but it makes a long chain. Nylon has a long formula, but it is fat, not long. That is why the nylon bristles are short while the handle is long and thin.

Which statement is true? 1. The electronegativity of an atom depends only on the value of the ionization energy of the atom. 2.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

5. Atoms with high ionization energies and high electron affinities have low electronegativities.

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the minimum amount of energy which is required to knock out the loosely bound valence electron from the isolated gaseous atom.

Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom in a bond pair to attract the shared pair of electron towards itself.

Low ionization energies as well as low electron affinities mean the atom has low effective nuclear charge, which results in the less attraction of the valence electrons by the atom and thus, low electronegativity.

What is the density of the continental crust?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: Getting into the technicalities, the continental crust has a density of around 3.0 g/cm3 compared to 2.6 g/cm3 of the continental crust. In addition, the continental crust is much thicker than the oceanic crust.

An analytical chemist has determined by measurements that there are 96.5 moles of carbon in a sample of acetic acid. how many mo
Nadya [2.5K]
The formula of acetic acid is CH3COOH => C2H4O2.

So, the acetic acid has the same number of atoms of carbon (C) than of oxygen (O).

Therefore, the sample that contains 96.5 moles of carbon, will contain also 96.5 moles of O.

Answer: 96.5 moles of oxygen.
