Answer: The correct answer is $NF_3$

Explanation:

In $NF_3$ molecule, there are three bond pairs and one lone pair present in the molecule. In a molecule, lone pair present on the nitrogen atom will have a dipole moment in upward direction where as total dipole moment formed by three fluorine atoms will be more in magnitude and it will be directed in downward direction which means that the net dipole moment will be in downward direction. As shown in image attached.

Hence, covalent bond present between nitrogen and fluorine will become polar in nature.

So, the correct answer is $NF_3$ .

Answer:

The correct option is $NF_3$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to select the compound which most likely contains polar covalent bonds.

In polar covalent bond, the electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time, on the average. This is due to electronegativity difference between the two atoms in the molecule.

NaCl is purely ionic bond strong electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged Na and negatively charged Cl.

$AlF_3$ is ionic.

$Br_2$ is a non-polar molecule both atoms are equally electronegative, neither of them withdraws electron density from the single covalent bond between them.

In molecule, $NF_3$ there are three bond pairs and one lone pair present in the molecule. In a molecule, lone pair present on the nitrogen atom will have a dipole moment in upward direction whereas total dipole moment formed by three atoms of fluorine will be more in magnitude and it will be directed in downward direction which means that the net dipole moment will be in downward direction. As shown in image attached.

Hence, covalent bond present between the atoms nitrogen and fluorine will become polar in nature.

The correct option is $NF_3$

An automated egg carton loader has a 1% probability of cracking an egg, and a customer will complain if more than one egg per do

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

a) Binomial distribution B(n=12,p=0.01)

b) P=0.007

c) P=0.999924

d) P=0.366

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The distribution of cracked eggs per dozen should be a binomial distribution B(12,0.01), as it can model 12 independent events.

b) To calculate the probability of having a carton of dozen eggs with more than one cracked egg, we will first calculate the probabilities of having zero or one cracked egg.

$P(k=0)=\binom{12}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{12}=1*0.886=0.886\\\\P(k=1)=\binom{12}{1}p^1(1-p)^{11}=12*0.01*0.99^{11}=12*0.01*0.895=0.107$

Then,

$P(k>1)=1-(P(k=0)+P(k=1))=1-(0.886+0.107)=1-0.993=0.007$

c) In this case, the distribution is B(1200,0.01)

$P(k=0)=\binom{1200}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{1200}=1* 0.000006 = 0.000006 \\\\ P(k=1)=\binom{1200}{1}p^1(1-p)^{1199}=1200*0.01*0.99^{1199}=1200*0.01* 0.000006 \\\\P(k=1)= 0.00007\\\\\\P(k\leq1)=0.000006+0.000070=0.000076\\\\\\P(k>1)=1-P(k\leq 1)=1-0.000076=0.999924$

d) In this case, the distribution is B(100,0.01)

We can calculate this probability as the probability of having 0 cracked eggs in a batch of 100 eggs.

$P(k=0)=\binom{100}{0}p^0(1-p)^{100}=0.99^{100}=0.366$

The graph of a hyperbola is shown.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:the length of the transverse axis is 18 units. Option C is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The transverse axis is the line segment which passes through the center of the hyperbola and its endpoints are the vertices of the hyperbola. Looking at the diagram of the hyperbola given, it has two foci at - 15 and 15 on the x axis. It has two vertices at - 9 and 9 on the x axis. Therefore the length of the transverse axis is -9 to 9. It becomes

9 - - 9 = 18

Name the postulate or theorem you can use to prove ∆ABD ≅ ∆CBD.

lozanna [386]

Hey there!

Triangle CBD is congruent to triangle ABD. This means that BD is congruent to BD by reflexive property. You have two congruent angles, and one congruent side. This would be AAS theorem. The answer is D.

I hope this helps!
