Answer:
A = B < D < C
C - S
Cl - Cl
F ← H
Si → O
Explanation:
The polarity of a bond increases with the increase in the difference in electronegativity. The dipole moment is represented with an arrow pointing the more electronegative atom.
A: carbon-sulfur
C - S
ΔEN = |EN(C) - EN(S)| = |2.5 - 2.5| = 0
B: chlorine - chlorine
Cl - Cl
ΔEN = |EN(Cl) - EN(Cl)| = |3.0 - 3.0| = 0
C: fluorine – hydrogen
F ← H
ΔEN = |EN(F) - EN(H)| = |4.0 - 2.1| = 1.9
D: silicon - oxygen
Si → O
ΔEN = |EN(Si) - EN(O)| = |1.8 - 3.5| = 1.7
The order of increasing polarity is A = B < D < C.
Deductive reasoning involves making broad observations and examining possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion, which is required in the formation of a hypothesis. Conversely, inductive reasoning involves taking specific observations and making broad generalisations from these. Therefore the answer is A.
Hope this helps!
I would say the answer is C
Petroleum is a potential.
yeah that's my guess.

is the element Silicon.
The key to deciphering this is to look at the last bit of information of the electron configuration

p

.
The '3' informs us that the element is in the 3rd Energy Level or row of the periodic table. The 'p' tells us that the element is found in the p-block which are all of the Groups to the right of the transition metals, columns 13-18. The superscript '2' tells us that the element is found in the 2nd column of the p-block Group 14.
