Answer:

Both oil and gasoline molecules are nonpolar, while water is polar. Nonpolar solvents have a tendency to dissolve other nonpolar molecules.

Explanation:

Molecules may be categorized as "polar" or "nonpolar" according to <em>difference in the atom's electronegativity.</em>

<u>Water is polar</u> because it consists of two types of atoms that<em> do not cancel out each other.</em> It is made of two atoms of Hydrogen and only one atom of Oxygen. This makes the Oxygen<u> partially negative</u> and the Hydrogen <u>partially positive.</u> This allows them to readily bond with other polar molecules like sugar. However, it cannot mix freely with oil and gasoline because<em> both of these are nonpolar. </em>Nonpolar molecules do not have much difference when it comes to their atoms' electronegativity. <em>Therefore, they have the tendency to dissolve molecules which are nonpolar as well. </em>This explains why oil molecules can mix freely with gasoline.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₄(aq)

Explanation:

The<em> molecular formula for the involved species</em> are:

  • Sulfur trioxide = SO₃. ("trioxide" indicates the presence of 3 oxygen atoms).
  • Water = H₂O
  • Sulfuric acid = H₂SO₄

With the above information in mind we can proceed to write the reaction equation:

  • SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₄(aq)

The element which has the electronic configuration is CHLORINE.
The atomic number of chlorine is 17 and it has 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell. Because it needs only one more electrons to have a stable octet, it usually react with metals from group one of the periodic table who are normally willing to donate the single electrons in their outermost shells. The ground state electronic configuration of chlorine atom is 1S^2 2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^5.
