Answer:

SO2

Explanation:

Dipole-Dipole exist between parmanent dipoles in a molecule. THis means that molecule must have a parmanent dipole moment in it.

Example - HCl

Hydrogen bonding is an attraction between lone pair of an electronegative element and H atom of same or different molecule. H must be covalantly attached to either F, N or O.

Example - H2O

Among the molecules given in the list only SO2 and H2O exihibits parmanent moment. As BCl3 , CBr4 and H2 are symmetric compounds.

Since, SO2 cannot exihibit H- bonding only dipole-dipole forces as its strongest intermolecular force.

A person's heartbeat is 73 beats per minute. If his heart beats 3.1e9 times in a lifetime, how long does the person live?

tiny-mole [99]

Answer: The person lived for 80.66 years.

Explanation:

Heart beat of the person = 73 beat /min

Number of total heart beats = $3.1\times 10^{9}$

Life span of the person : $\frac{\text{Total heart beats of the person}}{\text{Heart beat per minute}}=\frac{3.1\times 10^{9} beats}{73 beat/min}$

1 year =525600 mins

Life span = $0.0424\times 10^{9} min=80.66 years$

The person lived for 80.66 years.

Why do electrons transition between energy levels within the atom, and how do we detect these transitions?

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Electrons transition between energy levels in an atom due to gain or loss of energy. An electron may gain energy and move from its ground state to one of the accessible excited states. The electron quickly returns to ground state, emitting the energy previously absorbed as a photon of light. The wavelength of light emitted is measured using powerful spectrometers.

Atoms can be excited thermally or by irradiation with light of appropriate frequency.
