If you wanted to change the polarity of hydrogen bromide (HBr) by substituting the bromine with a different atom. Which atom would increase the polarity of the molecule?

To increase the polarity of HBr, the bromine atom can be replaced with a hydrogen atom.

A polar molecule is one in which a dipole moment exists. There is a positive end and a negative end in a polar molecule. Conventionally, the direction of the dipole is from the positive end of the molecule towards the negative end of the molecule.

If we want to increase the polarity of the molecule then we must substitute the bromine atom with a more electronegative atom. In this case, chlorine is  the best option.

This question is incomplete as it lacks options, the options are:

A. chlorine (CI)

B. iodine (1)

C. sulfur (S)

D. hydrogen (H)

The answer is A. Chlorine

Explanation:

Polarity of a substance in chemistry is a function of electric charges in the atoms of the molecules involved. Polarity, however, can be increased or decreased in molecules depending on the charges of the atoms that form them.

Since polarity increases when an atom in the molecule has a high ability to pull electrons toward itself i.e. electronegativity, one atom that can be substituted for Bromine in the hydrogen bromide (HBr) molecule in order to increase its polarity is CHLORINE. This is because Chlorine (Cl) is more electronegative than Bromine atom, hence, will pull more electrons from hydrogen to make the HCl molecule more polar than HBr.

question: ray weighs 100 kilograms, his wrestling partner, bobby, weighs 50 kilograms. if ray moves at 4 m s , how fast will bobby have to run at him to apply an equal amount of kinetic energy?

answer: 8 m/s he needs to run twice as fast to keep up so he has some work to do

explanation:   if the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.

the answer is 1260

you spend 7 hours in school for 1 school day with 5 school days in 1 school week with 36 school weeks in a school year.

7*5*36= 1260 it's all about multiplying
