- Question
Which formula represents a nonpolar molecule?
Options- A. H2O
- B. CF4
- C. HCl
- D. H2S
- Correct Answer
- CF4
ExplanationYou have to consider three things.
1. First, are the bonds polar?
Look at differences in electronegativity and if it is >0.5, bonds are polar.
2. Second, does the molecule have unshared electron pairs?
If so, they generally lead to a polar molecule.
3. Third, is the molecule symmetric?
If so, then although the bonds may be polar, the symmetry cancels out the individual bond polarity and the molecule is non polar.
CF4 follows all the rules above and has a symmetric distribution of charge, making it nonpolar. The others all have asymmetric charge distributions.
Hence, CF4 represents a Non-polar molecule.

Correct Answer: Nucleic acid
Explanation:
Nucleic acid is a polymer among the given options.
Correct Answer: In general, polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes As water molecules are polar, polar molecules dissolves in water
Correct Answer: lose electrons
Explanation:
Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.
Hence, when Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to lose electrons and become positive ions
Correct Answer: it is either homogenous or heterogenous
Explanation:
A mixture is the blending of two or more dissimilar substances.
Characteristics of a Mixture:
1. It has No formula.
2. It is an impure sustance
3. They can be mixed in any ratio.
4. The properties of the mixture are the properties of its constituents.
5. Constituents can e easily seperated by physical methods.
eg: Heating, Drying, Crystallization, Distillation etc...
6. It is either homogenous or heterogenous.
A major characteristic of mixtures is that the materials do not chemically combine. Mixtures can be divided into those that are evenly distributed (homogeneous) and those that aren't (heterogeneous).
Correct Answer: It is insoluble in ether and other Non-polar solvents
Explanation:
Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, is an inorganic compound with the formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na+ and hydroxide anions OH?.
Properties:
1. It is highly soluble in water, and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air.
2. NaOH is insoluble in ether and other non-polar solvents.
3. It is an odorless compound.
Uses:
Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries: in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents, and as a drain cleaner.
Correct Answer: nonpolar, with a symmetrical distribution of charge
Explanation:
CF4 is tetrahedral.
Since the four 'F' atoms have the same electronegativity values, there is no bias in electron distribution toward any one.
Therefore, electron/charge distribution is symmetrical, which also means that the molecule is nonpolar.
Hence, CF4 is nonpolar molecule with a symmetrical distribution of charge.
Correct Answer: TRUE
Explanation:
The process of conversion of milk into curd is called fermentation. It is a chemical change. Milk consists of globular proteins called casein. As the microorganism lactobacillus react with milk and turn it to curd. For it 37 degree temperature is needed. But sometimes when it does not get favourable condition, then other microorganism react and makes the curd taste different.
Correct Answer: 149.08
Explanation:
The gram formula mass is nothing but molar mass.
Composition :
Symbol Element Atomic weight Atoms
P Phosphorus 30.973762 1 = 30.973
O Oxygen 15.9994 4 = 63.998
N Nitrogen 14.0067 3 = 42.020
H Hydrogen 1.00794 12 = 12.096
Total = 30.973+63.998+42.020+12.096 = 149.087
Correct Answer: In a chemical reaction, substances (elements or compounds) called reactants are changed into other substances (compounds or elements) called products Hence, reactants are those which start the chemical reaction For example: 1 In the burning of natural gas, methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) are the reactants in the chemical reaction are the substances formed by a chemical reaction In the burning of natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the products formed by the reaction 2 H2+O2 ----> H2O Here H2 & O2 are called Reactants and H2O is called Product
