Answer:

B. Measures of central tendency

Explanation:

Mean, median and mode are best described as measures of central tendency of a given data set.

Mean is the average of the samples given

Mode is the data point with the most frequent occurrence

Median is the data point that lies in the middle

All these parameters tells us how far a data point is from the middle or how close they are.

A student makes a compound of sulfur and oxygen. She uses 5.00 g of sulfur and 4.99 g of oxygen, and all of the elemental substa

victus00 [196]

First, we apply the law of conservation of mass which states that the total mass in a system remains constant.
Therefore, there must be 5.00 g of sulfur and 4.99 g of oxygen in the product. Now, we determine the mass percentage using:

Mass % = (mass of sulfur x 100) / total mass of compound

Mass % = (5 * 100) / (5 + 4.99)

Mass % = 50.05%

The product contains 50.05% sulfur by mass.

A weak bond called a ______ bond results from an attraction between a slightly positive region in a molecule and a slightly nega

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: The weak bond having slightly positive region and a slightly negative region is polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms. For Example: HCl, $CH_4$ etc..

They are of two types:

Polar covalent bond: This bond is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is present. When atoms of different elements combine, it results in the formation of polar covalent bond.

In this bond, a dipole is created. More electropnegative atom will have a slight negative charge and less electronegative atom will have a slight positive charge. For Example: $CO_2,NO_2$ etc..

Non-polar covalent bond: This bond is formed when there is no difference in electronegativity between the atoms. When atoms of the same element combine, it results in the formation of non-polar covalent bond. For Example: $N_2,O_2$ etc..

Hence, the weak bond having slightly positive region and a slightly negative region is polar covalent bond.
