How many polar bonds are found in this molecule

Law Incorporation [45]

A bond is non polar if it is between same atoms and polar if it is between different atoms.

Same atoms are like two dogs of same strength pulling a bone towards towards each other. But when it’s different atoms it’s like a big dog and small dog then the bone is more towards bigger dog. So it’s the same way in bonds.

Bonds are made up of electrons, when the more stronger pulling atom is present than other the electrons are more towards it and as a result we have polar bond. There is development of a kind of a negative pole and a positive pole.

The stronger atom has electrons towards itself so it has a little more negative charge while the other atom has positive charge. This makes bond polar.

So just look for bond between two different atoms, it would be polar.

Look at the pic below to see the answer.

Marked with green is bond between same atoms... one carbon and another carbon so it is not polar and test marked with blue are polar.

Well the answer should have been 10 but since the bonds at 3 and 8 are two of same type we count only one of them.

The answer is 8... well the answer should be 10 otherwise... discuss it with ur teacher

What does literal mean in science please hurry it's due at 11:40!!

Leokris [45]

Answer:

In computer science, a literal is a notation for representing a fixed value in source code. An anonymous function is a literal for the function type. In contrast to literals, variables or constants are symbols that can take on one of a class of fixed values, the constant being constrained not to change.

Which change can be easily be reversed? question 23 options: both a physical and chemical change chemical change physical change

givi [52]

Physical change .. you cannot undo chemical ... physical is like bending , shattering a mirror , denting something ..
chemical would be rust or something .

Nitrogen monoxide and water react to form ammonia and oxygen, like this: 4no (g) +6h2o (g) →4nh3 (g) +5o2 (g) the reaction is en

Archy [21]

The concept used here is the Le Chatelier's principle. When a disturbance is introduced to the system, it favors the direction of reaction that minimizes the disturbance to regain equilibrium.

In endothermic reactions, the forward reaction is favored when the temperature is low. Otherwise, the reverse reaction is favored. When you add the amounts of substances on the reactant side, more products would formed favoring the forward reaction. If you increase concentration on the product side, you form more reactants so it would favor the reverse reaction. Lastly, since 10 moles of gases are needed in the reactant side, it would be favored during high pressure reaction.

Study the image and answer the question.

konstantin123 [22]

The image represents A COMPOUND because the molecules are BONDED CHEMICALLY.
A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements combine together chemically. In the process of chemical combination, the chemical bonds that were present in the participating elements will be broken and new chemical bonds will be formed in the product.
