Answer:
The correct answer is 4). A total of 8?valence electrons
Explanation:
The argon corresponds to a noble or inert gas, like Helium, and has its complete octet in the last layer.
Moles of nitrogen = 49.84 / 28 = 1.78
Moles of hydrogen = 10.7 / 2 = 5.35
Molar ratio of nitrogen to hydrogen = 1 : 3
Hydrogen required = 1.78 x 3 = 5.34
Therefore, hydrogen is in excess and nitrogen is the limiting reagent.
CO₂ does not have dipole-dipole forces as its strongest force.
Draw the 3D structures of each molecule. All have C-O, C-Br, or C-Cl <em>bond dipoles</em>.
In CO₂ the C-O bond dipoles point in opposite directions, so they cancel.
CO₂ has <em>no molecular dipole</em>. Its strongest intermolecular forces are <em>London dispersion forces</em>.
In all the other molecules, the C-Br, C-Cl, and C-O bond dipoles do not cancel. These molecules all have intermolecular dipole-dipole forces.
