Why are the molecules of hydrocarbons nonpolar?
laiz [17]
<span>This is not the case in the hydrocarbon tail. The electronegativity of hydrogen and carbon are very similar, so the electron cloud is distributed evenly over the two atoms. Carbon-hydrogen bonds are said to be non-polar because they do not have positive and negative poles within themselves. Hope this helps. </span>

Which of the following best describes magnetic fields
BigorU [14]

Well the multiple choices for this question would be helpful, but from my own knowledge I would say:

Magnetic fields have north and south magnetic poles.

Magnetic fields have various characteristics which includes; they originate from the north poles and flow towards the south poles, they are exhibited in the form of magnetic field lines. Magnetic fields lines never cross one another,they all have the same strength and seek the path of least resistance between opposite magnetic poles etc.

Which statement describes a reason to consider air a mixture? A) The major constituents of air are gaseous elements. B) The comp
umka21 [38]

The correct answer is - A) The major constituents of air are gaseous elements.

With the statement ''the major constituents of air are gaseous elements'' we can easily conclude that the air is a mixture. The reason for that is that we have a plural usage of the word element, elements, which mean that there are multiple elements that make up the air.

The air is indeed predominantly a mixture of gaseous elements. The most abundant gas in the air being the nitrogen with 78.9%, oxygen with 20.95%, argon 0.93%, and carbon dioxide 0.04%, with lesser amounts of other gases also be present in it. The water vapor is also present in the air, though it is variable, being around 1% at sea level, but only 0.4% over the entire atmosphere.

A mixture of helium, nitrogen and oxygen has a total pressure of 821 mmHg. The partial pressure of helium is 105 mmHg, and the p
skad [1K]

Answer:

Total partial pressure, Pt = 821 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Helium, P1 = 105 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Nitrogen, P2 = 312 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Oxygen, P3 = ? mm Hg

According to Dalton's law of Partial pressures,

Pt = P1 + P2 + P3

So, <u>P3 = 404 mm Hg</u>

What is the correct scientific notation for 640,000,000? Question 5 options: 6.4X10^8 6.4X10^10 64X10^10 640X10^8
N76 [4]
For very large numbers, it is much more convenient to use scientific notation. To do this, detect first the position of the decimal point. For whole numbers, the decimal point is place implicitly after the very last digit. Then, move this decimal point to the left until you reach to the last digit. In this case, you moved 8 places until you reach 6.4. Because the number is more than 1, the exponent would have a positive sign. Hence, the scientific notation would be 6.4×10⁸.
