Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Due to the difference in electronegativity of hydrogen and oxygen, the electrons are pulled more towards oxygen atom.

As a result, a partial positive charge will develop on hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge will develop on oxygen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that adjacent water molecules interact through the  electrical attraction between the hydrogen of one water molecule and the oxygen of another water molecule.

When 9.2 g of frozen N2O4 is added to a 0.50 L reaction vessel and the vessel is heated to 400 K and allowed to come to equilibr
Amanda [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of K_c for the given reaction is 1.435

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Given mass of N_2O_4 = 9.2 g

Molar mass of N_2O_4 = 92 g/mol

Volume of solution = 0.50 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{9.2g}{92g/mol\times 0.50L}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=0.20M

For the given chemical equation:

                 N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)

<u>Initial:</u>          0.20

<u>At eqllm:</u>     0.20-x        2x

We are given:

Equilibrium concentration of N_2O_4 = 0.057

Evaluating the value of 'x'

\Rightarrow (0.20-x)=0.057\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.143

The expression of K_c for above equation follows:

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}

[NO_2]_{eq}=2x=(2\times 0.143)=0.286M

[N_2O_4]_{eq}=0.057M

Putting values in above expression, we get:

K_c=\frac{(0.286)^2}{0.143}\\\\K_c=1.435

Hence, the value of K_c for the given reaction is 1.435

In some chemical reactions, electrons are transferred from one substance to another, but there is no net gain or loss of electro
Natali [406]

Answer and Explanation:

The equation that depicts oxidation of neutral atom A is  shown below:

\rightarrow A^+ + e^-

This is because one species is losing electrons due to oxidation. The species possesses positively charged after losing electrons, the magnitude of which is proportional to the number of electrons lost.

The net charge will be equivalent on both sides of the equation, too.

Therefore all other options are not correct

The equation that depicts the decline of neutral atom X is

X + e^-  \rightarrow  X^-

It is how a cell gains electrons by reduction. The species obtains a negative charge upon possessing electrons, whose magnitude is equivalent to the amount of electrons gained.

The net charge will be equivalent on both sides of the equation, too.

Therefore all other options are not correct

In general, the presence of atoms of what element(s) makes a molecule polar
NISA [10]
Polarity of a molecule doesn't depend only on the presence of certain atom(s). It also depends on symmetry. For example, take the alkanes family C_{n}H_{2n+2}. These molecules are generally nonpolar, because there is no net dipole moment. Now, dipole moment arises due to <span>difference in the electronegativity of carbon and the other element. In organic chemistry, generally these atoms are Oxygen, Halogens, Nitrogen. Because of their high electronegativity, they cause a net dipole moment resulting in polarity.

</span>H_3C-CH_3 is symmetrical and hence non-polar.

H_3C-O-CH_3 is asymmetrical and polar. It's structure is bent because of oxygen lone pairs.

How and why do ionic bonds form? Check all of the boxes that apply. Ionic bonds form between metal atoms and other metal atoms.
sammy [17]

2 Ionic bonds form between metal atoms and nonmetal atoms.

4 The less electronegative atoms transfers one or more electrons to the more electronegative atom.

5 The metal atom forms a cation and the nonmetal atom forms an anion.

7 The attraction between ions with an opposite charge forms an ionic bond.
