Answer: Small groups of atoms that are attached to larger molecules, giving the specific chemical properties, are called functional groups.

explanation: Functional groups are groups of atoms in a molecule that possess the same chemical feature every time it appears in several compounds. There are various types of functional groups and they have the tendency to react in definite ways. Examples include; the ether functional group (consists of an oxygen atom that forms single bonds with two carbon atoms),the alcohol functional group (consists of an oxygen atom that is bonded to one hydrogen atom and one carbon atom), and the amine functional group (consists of a nitrogen atom bonded to some combination of carbons and hydrogens).

Choose the selection which correctly characterizes all three of the following substances in terms of whether they are polar or n
ohaa [14]

Answer:

SiH4 is nonpolar and BBr3 is nonpolar and SiF4 is nonpolar.

Explanation:

SiH4 is a non-polar compound. Though the Si–H bonds are polar, as a result of different electronegativities of Si and H. However, as there are 4 electron repulsions around the central Si atom, the polar bonds are arranged symmetrically around the central atom having a tetrahedral shape hence they cancel out making the compound nonpolar.

SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule because the fluorine atoms are arranged symetrically around the central silicon atom in a tetrahedral molecule with all of the regions of negative charge cancelling each other out just like in SiH4.

The 3 bromine atoms all lie in the same plane thus the geometry of the compound will be trigonal planar. The BBr3 will be non polar because the three B-Br bonds will cancel out each others' dipole moment given that they are in the same plane.

krok68 [10]
Both indicate the temperature at which the solid and liquid states of a substance are in equilibrium would be your answer.

This is beacause the melting point of a substance is the same as the freezing point of a substance. At this particular temp, the substance can be either a solid or a liquid. 

hope this helps!

Gravitational potential energy is a function of the _____ and the ________ of an object.
babymother [125]

Answer:

B = mass, height

Gravitational potential energy is a function of the mass ans the height of an object.

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is

GPE = mgh

m = mass in kilogram

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height in meter above the ground

Formula:

GP.E = mgh

Consider the following example:

A crane lifts a 75kg mass a height of 8 m. Calculate the gravitational potential energy  gained by the mass:

Formula:

GP.E = mgh

Now we will put the values in formula.

g = 9.8 m/s²

GP.E = 75 Kg × 9.8 m/s²× 8 m

GP.E = 5880 Kg.m²/s²

Kg.m²/s² = j

GP.E = 5880 j
