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.

How should scientist deal with the issue of endangered animals? write in complete 5 sentences please help
ANEK [815]
I think that scientist should build a habitat we’re the endangered animals could go free.By scientists building a habitat I mean giving the endangered animals a space to feel safe.Another way scientists could help endangered animals , would be to try and reproduce, the animal.For example scientist could help out with giving the animals hormones to be able to reproduce.And lastly scientists could do experimentation on the endangered animals to see if the animal ever were to go extinct how they could reproduce a new species.

Find the linear function Cequals​f(F) that gives the reading on the Celsius temperature scale corresponding to a reading on the
padilas [110]

Answer:

C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

They both read equal at Z = - 40

Explanation:

We are looking for a linear function so we can write the following condition

Y = aX + b

Applying it to the exercise we got C = a F + b

Let's use the facts that C = 0 when F = 32 and C = 100 when F = 212

0 = 32 a + b            (1)

100 = 212 a + b       (2)

From (1) b = - 32 a , when we replace this in (2) we obtain a = (5/9)

and b = - (5/9)32 = - 160/9

Finally the linear function is C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

Both readings are equal at a Z number so

Z = (5/9) Z - 160/9

(4/9) Z = -160/9 and Z = - 40

The blank <br> and the blank <br> of atoms are the same on both sides of a chemical equation.
tester [92]

Answer:

Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
