tronegativity Element Electronegativity Carbon 2.5 Hydrogen 2.1 Nitrogen 3.0 Which of the following statements is true about the strength of the intermolecular forces in CH4 and NH3? (4 points) Select one: a. CH4 ≥ NH3 because CH4 is tetrahedral but NH3 is pyramidal. b. CH4 < NH3 because δ− on C in the CH bond is greater than δ− on N in the NH bond. c. CH4 < NH3 because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond. d. CH4 ≥ NH3 because CH4 has H bonding but NH3 has dispersion forces.

Answer:

c. CH4 < NH3 because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond.

Explanation:

Actually, the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is just about 0.4. This meager difference in electronegativity corresponds to a nonpolar bond between the two atoms.

However, the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen is about 0.9. This larger electronegativity difference corresponds to the existence of a polar covalent bond between the two atoms.

Hence the N-H bond is significantly polar unlike the C-H bond. This implies that CH4 molecules are only held together by weak dispersion forces while NH3 molecules are held together by stronger dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonds.

2Ag (s) + H2S(s) → Ag2S(s) + H2(g)
Advocard [28]

Answer: Oxidation half: 2Ag\rightarrow 2Ag^++2e^-

Reduction half: 2H^++2e^-\rightarrow H_2

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

2Ag(s)+H_2S(s)\rightarrow Ag_2S(s)+H_2(g)

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Oxidation half: 2Ag\rightarrow 2Ag^++2e^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Reduction half: 2H^++2e^-\rightarrow H_2

Some activities that are generally considered to be work are not called work by scientists. Explain why.​
Flura [38]

Answer:

Certain things we think of as hard work, such as writing an exam or carrying a heavy load on level ground, are not work as defined by a scientist. The scientific definition of work reveals its relationship to energy—whenever work is done, energy is transferred.

For work, in the scientific sense, to be done, a force must be exerted and there must be motion or displacement in the direction of the force.
