Answer: Gaseous

Explanation: Straight Chain hydrocarbon having three carbon atoms is known as Propane. It molecular formula is

CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3}

Inter molecular forces of attraction that is London Dispersion Forces existing between its molecules are weaker that is why the propane is gaseous in nature at room temperature.

It is also used in LPG. Boiling Point of propane is -42° C.

<span>The straight-chain hydrocarbon containing three carbon atoms is propane. It's molecular formula is C3H8.

Following is the structure of propane
CH3-CH2-CH3

Boiling point of propane is -42 oC, this suggest that propane is gas at room temperature. </span>

Will a precipitate form from Pb(NO3)2(aq) and HCl(aq)?

Rus_ich [418]

1. Write out the formula Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) ----> PbCl2 + 2HNO3 2. Use solubility guidelines (gotta memorize 'em) for the products to see if a solid forms Nitrates are always soluble so 2HNO3 (aq) Chlorides (Cl) are always soluble except for when you mix them with copper, lead, mercury, or silver. Since you mixed it with lead (Pb) it is solid and forms a precipitate. PbCl2 (s)

________ are weak bonds that are not strong enough to hold atoms together to form molecules but are strong enough to form bonds

olga_2 [115]

<u>Hydrogen bonds </u>are weak bonds that are not strong enough to hold atoms together to form molecules but are strong enough to form bonds within and around large molecules.

The hydrogen bond is weak bond.

The hydrogen bond is electrostatic force of attraction between hydrogen atom and more electronegative atoms or group ( like Florine , oxygen or nitrogen) which is contently bonded.
The hydrogen bond is occur in polar , contently bond atoms in different molecules.
Example is H-O-H or $NH_{3}$
The positively charged hydrogen side of one water molecule is bond with negatively charged oxygen side of another molecule.
