Question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows:
A student wants to examine a substance by altering the bonds within its molecules. Which of the following properties of the substance should the student examine?
A. Toxicity, because it can be observed by altering the state of the substance
B. Boiling point, because it can be observed by altering the state of the substance
C. Toxicity, because it can be observed by replacing the atoms of the substance with new atoms
D. Boiling point, because it can be observed by replacing the atoms of the substance with new atoms
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
A student can examine a substance without altering the bonds within the molecules by examining its boiling point.
The boiling point is the property of a substance, at which the substance changes its state, which is from solid to liquid, liquid to gas and others. So, examining the boiling point will alter the bonds within the molecules as the state of substance will change.
Hence, the correct answer is "B".
Answer:
The correct answer is 4
Explanation:
Boron trifluoride (BF₃) has a molecular geometry (as shown in the image in the question) referred to as trigonal planar; this is because each of the the fluorine atoms/molecules (bonded to the central boron atom) is placed in such a way that they form the three "end points"/"domains" of an equilateral triangle. Hence, the correct option is the last option.
