Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When we look at SO3 we will notice that the compound is trigonal planar and it is symmetric. This means that it has equal charge distribution hence its dipoles cancel out resulting in a zero net dipole moment.

However, COH2 is also trigonal planar but is non-symmetric. Hence, its dipole moments do not cancel out, hence the molecule has a resultant dipole moment and is a polar molecule

Answer:

More than 2,000 Years Ago, the Greek philosopher Aristotle suggested a model of the solar system. Aristotle's model was geocentric, or Earth-centered. In the model. the sun, stars, planets revolved around the Earth. In 150 AD an astrologer named Ptolemy began to support Aristotle's geocentric model.

In 1543 AD, an astronomer named Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model of the solar system. In this model, the planets revolve around the sun. Due to the invention of the telescope, the solar system could be explored in more detail. Galileo used the telescope to support Copernicus's theory of the sun being the center of the universe.

In the late 1500's, Kepler developed a law that explained planetary motion. Kepler's law is so accurate we still use them today.
