I think it means the reaction doesn't have any intermediate phases - the order doesn't change, and it moves at the same rate, it doesn't speed up or slow down at any time
To keep burning, fires require oxygen. Carbon dioxide is used in certain fire extinguishers to put out flames. Explanation: Because magnesium is higher on the reactivity scale than carbon, it is more reactive and eliminates oxygen from carbon dioxide (to give carbon and magnesium oxide).
Answer:
CCl4
Explanation:
Let us look at the structure of CCl4 closely in order to really determine if it is the correct answer to the question or not.
While it is true that the electro negativity of carbon is 2.5 and that of chlorine is 3.0, hence an electro negativity difference of 0.5 exists between carbon and chlorine leading to the presence of four polar covalent bonds in the carbon tetrachloride molecule. We must also observe that the molecule, carbon tetrachloride, has a tetrahedral molecular geometry. This implies that the four dipoles in the molecule are symmetrical and cancel out each other hence the molecule is non polar. Being a non polar molecule, only London forces are expected to be present as an intermolecular force, hence the answer.
