Which of the sets below are not in the order of lowest energy to highest energy: (A. 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s) (B. 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s) (C. 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d) (D. 3s, 3p, 3d, 4s)

D

Explanation:

energy level order: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s... (as periodic table shows)

option 3, CH₄.

Explanation:

1) A molecule is polar if and only if at least one bond is polar and the polar bonds are not symmetrically distributed around the center of the molecule.

2) CH₄ has four C-H bonds symmetrically distributed arond the C atom, so it is not possible for it to be polar, which is what answers the question.

3) The bonds in H₂S are not symmetrical distributed around the S atom, because S has two additional pair of non-bonding electrons which bends the molecule, so it is polar.

4) HCl is polar since there is one only H-Cl bond which is polar because the difference in the electronegativities of the H and Cl.

5) NH₃ is polar because the N atom has an additional pair of non bonding electrons, which bends the molecule.
