Agar is extracted from an algae (agarophytes, <span>belong to the </span>Rhodophyta (red algae) phylum, <span>primarily from the </span>genera Gelidium<span> and </span><span>Gracilaria</span>).
Agar <span>or </span>agar-agar is a jelly-like substance. Agar is the mixture of two components, agaropectin (D-glucuronic acid and pyruvic acid) and <span>the polysaccharide agarose.</span>
A. Sodium is correct.
Sodium is an alkali metal.
Aluminum is a post-transitional metal- still a metal but it’s character is not as metallic as sodium.
Silicon is a metalloid- it has characteristics from both the metals and the non-metals.
Phosphorous is a non-metal.
Answer:
SiH4 is nonpolar and BBr3 is nonpolar and SiF4 is nonpolar.
Explanation:
SiH4 is a non-polar compound. Though the Si–H bonds are polar, as a result of different electronegativities of Si and H. However, as there are 4 electron repulsions around the central Si atom, the polar bonds are arranged symmetrically around the central atom having a tetrahedral shape hence they cancel out making the compound nonpolar.
SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule because the fluorine atoms are arranged symetrically around the central silicon atom in a tetrahedral molecule with all of the regions of negative charge cancelling each other out just like in SiH4.
The 3 bromine atoms all lie in the same plane thus the geometry of the compound will be trigonal planar. The BBr3 will be non polar because the three B-Br bonds will cancel out each others' dipole moment given that they are in the same plane.
Total number of atoms = 7
Total number of H atom = 5
% of H in ammonium hydroxide = 5/7 ×100 = 71.4 %
