Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of hydrogen is 1 and atomic number of oxygen is 8 (electronic distribution is 2, 6). When both hydrogen and oxygen atoms chemically combine with each other then sharing of electrons take place between the two atoms.

As a result, a covalent bond is formed. But due to the difference in electronegativity of both hydrogen and oxygen atom there occurs a partial positive and partial negative charge on hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Hence, water is able to form polar covalent bonds with other polar molecules.

Thus, we can conclude that water molecules have a polarity, which allows them to be electrically attracted to other water molecules and other polar molecules by weak chemical bonds known as polar covalent bonds.

What is primarily responsible for holding two nitrogen atoms together in a molecule of nitrogen gas?
kotykmax [81]

The answer is B Nitrogen atoms will form three covalent bonds (also called triple covalent) between two atoms of nitrogen because each nitrogen atom needs three electrons to fill its outermost shell. Another example of a nonpolar covalent bond is found in the methane (CH4) molecule.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

6.475 M

Explanation:

Number of moles = 25.9 moles

Volume = 4.00 L

Molarity = ?

The relationship between the quantities is given as;

Molarity = Number of moles / Volume

Molarity = 25.9 / 4

Molarity = 6.475 M

The three end stages of stars are Red Giant Phase, Second Red Giant Phase and White Dwarf Phase correct?
solong [7]

Answer: Most of the stars in the universe are main sequence stars — those converting hydrogen into helium via nuclear fusion. A main sequence star may have a mass between a third to eight times that of the sun and eventually burn through the hydrogen in its core. Over its life, the outward pressure of fusion has balanced against the inward pressure of gravity. Once the fusion stops, gravity takes the lead and compresses the star smaller and tighter.

Temperatures increase with the contraction, eventually reaching levels where helium is able to fuse into carbon. Depending on the mass of the star, the helium burning might be gradual or might begin with an explosive flash.

Tell how you could distinguish between the pair of compounds by their infrared spectra: compound a ch3ch2ch2n(ch3)2 and compound
maksim [4K]

Answer:-

b. compound b will show an nh absorption while compound a will not.

Explanation:-

For compound B CH3CH2CH2NH2 there are two N-H bonds present. So it will show NH absorption.

But in compound A CH3CH2CH2N(CH3)2 there are no N-H bonds. So it will not show NH absorption.
