Blank 1: polar
The difference in electronegativity between N and H causes electrons to preferentially orbit N, making the bond polar.
Blank 2: trigonal pyramidal
There are four “things” attached to N - 3 H’s and 1 lone pair of electrons. The four things together are arranged into a tetrahedral formation. However, the lone pairs don’t actually contribute to the shape of the molecule per se; it’s only the actual atoms that do. The lone pair creates a bit of repulsion that pushes the 3 H’s down, creating a trigonal pyramidal shape (as opposed to a trigonal planar one).
Blank 3: polar
The molecule as a whole is also polar because the “things” around it, though arranged in a tetrahedral pattern, are not all the same. The side of the molecule with the lone pair is slightly negative, while the side with the 3 H’s is slightly positive due to the differences in electronegativity described above.
H2O became a vapor when heated because thats the only one that can go back to its normal state, which is what a physical change is.
Answer:
Cl^-<NO3^-<H2O<F^-<CN^-
Explanation:
When we talk about base strength we are referring to how easily a chemical specie accepts protons.
The greater the ability of a specie to accept H^+, the greater its base strength.
The order of increasing base strengths of the species listed are shown in the answer above.
Hey! 1) Convection [Warm water is less dense, so it rises.] 2) Conduction [The metal skewer is heated by the fire, and it is directly touching your hand. The metal skewer transfers heat to your hand through conduction.] 3) Conduction [The rock is directly touching you, so it transfers heat to you through conduction.] 4) Convection [Convection causes weather systems because hot air sinks and cold air sinks] 5) Convection [The hot air rises because it is less dense while the cold air sinks because it is denser.] ~Hope this helped~
