Answer:

A polar molecule is a molecule in which one end of the molecule is slightly positive, while the other end is slightly negative. A diatomic molecule that consists of a polar covalent bond, such as HF, is a polar molecule. The two electrically charged regions on either end of the molecule are called poles, similar to a magnet having a north and a south pole. A molecule with two poles is called a dipole. Hydrogen fluoride is a dipole. A simplified way to depict polar molecules is pictured below When placed between oppositely charged plates, polar molecules orient themselves so that their positive ends are closer to the negative plate and their negative ends are closer to the positive plate

Experimental techniques involving electric fields can be used to determine if a certain substance is composed of polar molecules and to measure the degree of polarity.

For molecules with more than two atoms, the molecular geometry must also be taken into account when determining if the molecule is polar or nonpolar. is a comparison between carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a linear molecule. The oxygen atoms are more electronegative than the carbon atom, so there are two individual dipoles pointing outward from the C atom to each O atom. However, since the dipoles are of equal strength and are oriented in this way, they cancel each other out, and the overall molecular polarity of CO2 is zero.

Water is a bent molecule because of the two lone pairs on the central oxygen atom. The individual dipoles point from the H atoms toward the O atom. Because of the shape, the dipoles do not cancel each other out, and the water molecule is polar. In the figure, the net dipole is shown in blue and points upward.

Some other molecules are shown below (Figure below). Notice that a tetrahedral molecule such as CH4 is nonpolar. However, if one of the peripheral H atoms is replaced by another atom that has a different electronegativity, the molecule becomes polar. A trigonal planar molecule (BF3) may be nonpolar if all three peripheral atoms are the same, but a trigonal pyramidal molecule (NH3) is polar.

If 36.9 mL of B2H6 reacted with excess oxygen gas, determine the actual yield of B2O3 if the percent yield of B2O3 was 75.7%. (T

zhuklara [117]

Answer: The actual yield of $B_2O_3$ is 60.0 g

Explanation:-

The balanced chemical reaction :

$B_2H_6(l)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow B_2O_3(s)+3H_2O(l)$

Mass of $B_2H_6$ = $Density\times Volume=1.131g/ml\times 36.9ml=41.7g$

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of} B_2H_6=\frac{41.7g}{27.668g/mol}=1.51moles$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of $B_2H_6$ gives = 1 mole of $B_2O_3$

1.51 moles of $B_2H_6$ gives = $\frac{1}{1}\times 1.51=1.51$ moles of $B_2O_3$

Theoretical yield of $B_2O_3=moles\times {Molar mass}}=1.14mol\times 69.62g/mol=79.3g$

Percent yield of $B_2O_3$ = $75.7\%$

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$75.7\%=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{79.3}\times 100$

${\text{Actual yield}}=60.0g$

Thus the actual yield of $B_2O_3$ is 60.0 g

Bonds between two atoms that are equally electronegative are _____. bonds between two atoms that are equally electronegative are

Anna [14]

Bonds of two atoms of equal electronegativity are nonpolar covalent bonds.

Your second sentence is identical to the first sentence; I'll bet the second sentence is "Bonds between two atoms that are unequally electronegative are polar covalent bonds."

(a) What are the possible values of l for n = 4? (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

(a) 0,1,2,3 (b) -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3 (c) 6 (d) 5

Explanation:

(a) for the principal quantum number 'n', the possible values of I = 0 to n-1. Thus, if the principal quantum number 'n' =4, I = 0,1,2,3.

(b) for a given number of 'I', the possible values of ml = -I to +I. Therefore, if I =3, then ml = -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3

(c) 'I' which is the orbital angular momentum quantum number usually has values from 0,1,2,⋯,n−1. Therefore, for n greater than or 6, t would be greater than or equal to 5. Thus, the smallest possible value of n for which I can be 6 is 6.

(d) In a 3-dimensional figure, If the z-component of the orbital angular momentum Lz for which I=5 is measured, The possible outcomes will be:

mħ = -5ħ, -4ħ, -3ħ, -2ħ, -1ħ, 0, 1ħ, 2ħ, 3ħ, 4ħ, 5ħ.

Thus, the smallest possible l that can have a z component of 5ℏ is 5.

N a football game, two players tackle each other so hard that they both fly in opposite directions after they hit each other. �W

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Newton's Third Law

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law stipulates that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So when the two players are tackling they exert a force on each other.

If player 1 tackles (exerts a force) player 2, player 2 will exert an equal and opposite reaction on player 1 as stated in Newton's Third Law.

Therefore when they tackle each other so hard they both experience reaction forces so powerful that they fly in opposite directions.

Thus this is an example of the Newton's Third Law.

Which process contributes to the formation of tornados?

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Warm air rises, resulting in a decrease air pressure.

Explanation:

Tornado is the rapid and violent rotation of column of air which move from the thunderstorm to the ground.

It is formed when there is collision between warm and cold air. The cold air which is more sense than the warm air is pushed over the warm air which result in thunderstorms. The warm air then rises which result in decrease air pressure causing an updraft. The updraft then begin to rotate as there are variations in wind speeds and directions.
