The molecule BH3 is trigonal planar, with B in the center and H in the three vertices. Ther are no free electrons. All the valence electrons are paired in and forming bonds.
There are four kind of intermolecular attractions: ionic, hydrogen bonds, polar and dispersion forces.
B and H have very similar electronegativities, Boron's electronegativity is 2.0 and Hydrogen's electronegativity is 2.0.
The basis of ionic compounds are ions and the basis of polar compounds are dipoles.
The very similar electronegativities means that B and H will not form either ions or dipoles. So, that discards the possibility of finding ionic or polar interactions.
Regarding, hydrogen bonds, that only happens when hydrogen bonds to O, N or F atoms. This is not the case, so you are sure that there are not hydrogen bonds.
When this is the case, the only intermolecular force is dispersion interaction, which present in all molecules.
Then, the answer is dispersion interaction.
Ionic bonds are made up of elements with positive charges and a negative charges. Example: magnesium oxide (MgO).
Usually nonmetals are negative charged and metals are positive charged. therefore A NONMETAL AND A METAL is the only answer that matches the explanation.
Answer:
Isotopes
Explanation:
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that contain an identical number of protons, but a different number of neutrons. Despite having different numbers of neutrons, isotopes of the same element have very similar physical properties.
Answer is: acid.
An acid<span> is a </span>molecule<span> or </span>ion<span> capable of donating </span>proton or hydrogen ion H⁺.
pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity <span>an </span>aqueous solution<span>.
</span>pH number of <span>lemon juice (citric acid) and vinegar (acetic acid CH</span>₃COOH) is below seven (pH<span><7). For bases pH is greater than seven.</span>
Answer;
P4O10 - molecular solid
Graphite - network solid
Ammonium phosphate - ionic
Brass - metallic
SiC - network solid
Rb- metallic
I2 - molecular
LiBr- ionic
P4 - molecular
Plastic - amorphous
Si - network
Explanation:
An ioinc solid is made up of a pair of oppositely charged ion held together by electrostatic interaction between the bonding species.
A covalent solid is a solid in which the atoms involved in the solid are bonded together by covalent bonds. Covalent solids are also molecular.
Metals are held together by interaction of metal ions and a sea of electrons. This is called the metallic bond.
A network solid is composed of covalently bonded atoms that repeat itself in a definite manner. E.g SiC
