Answer: The correct answer is polar, tetrahedral and non-polar.
Explanation:
It is given a compound which is silicon tetrahydride having formula
The electronegativities of silicon and hydrogen are 1.9 and 2.1 respectively.
Difference in electronegativity = 2.1 - 1.9 = 0.2
From above, some difference in the electronegativities of the atoms is there. This means that bond polarity of this molecule is polar. If the difference would have been 0, the bond polarity of the molecule is taken as non-polar.
where,
V = number of valence electrons present in central atom i.e. Silicon = 4
N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom = 4
C = charge of cation = 0
A = charge of anion = 0
Putting values in above equation, we get:
As, the total number of electron pairs is 4, this means that the hybridization of this molecule will be and the molecular shape will be tetrahedral.
Hence, the correct answer is polar, tetrahedral and non-polar.

Ah + O₂
Answer:
2Al2O3 → 4 Al + 3 O2
Explanation:
The mass of the system consisting of the ice cube and the plastic cup will remain 5 grams even after the ice completely melts. This is because of the Conservation of Mass principle, which states that mass is not lost during a phase change.
The principle operating in this scenario is called the Conservation of Mass. In this specific context, this principle means that the mass of an object or a system of objects will remain the same regardless of the changes it may undergo, as long as no mass enters or leaves the system. In the case of an ice cube melting, although the physical state (phase) of the water changes from solid (ice) to liquid (water), its mass does not change.
So when an ice cube that weighs 5 grams (along with the cup) melts, it turns into an equivalent mass of liquid water. That means even after the ice has completely melted into water, the mass of the water and the plastic cup will still be 5 grams.
This is because during the phase change, only the state of the matter is altered (from solid to liquid), not its mass. The water molecules in the ice rearrange themselves and move apart during melting allowing the ice to become liquid water, but the number of molecules and thus the mass stays the same.
