<span>Mixing an acid and a base results in neutralization, but the results are potentially dangerous. No matter which acid or base is used, the resulting solution is water and varying types of salt. The process of neutralization often involves the substances heating up when they come together. If the solution heats up too much or too fast, a violent explosion or the creation of harmful or flammable gases is a possibility. This occurs when the chemicals are mixed too quickly, the acid and base are too strong or if there is no available salt to be made in the solution.</span>
Answer: The first plastic based on a synthetic polymer was invented in 1907. Plastic sticks around in the environment for ages, threatening wildlife and spreading toxins.
Answer:
Dipole-dipole interactions
Step-by-step explanation:
Each molecule consists of <em>two different elements</em>.
Thus, each molecule has permanent <em>bond dipoles</em>.
The dipoles do not cancel, so the attractive forces are dipole-dipole attractions.
"Covalent bonds" is <em>wrong,</em> because there are no bonds between the two molecules.
There are dipole-induced dipole and London dispersion forces, but they are much weaker than the dipole-dipole attractions.
