A) Their future is our future – a healthy planet for migratory birds and people B) Networking for migratory birds
C) Energy: make it bird friendly D) Destination flyways: Migratory bird and Tourism
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Their future is our future – a healthy planet for migratory birds and people

Explanation:

World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) was initiated in 2006 and is an annual awareness-raising campaign highlighting the need for the conservation of migratory birds and their habitats. It has a global outreach and is an effective tool to help raise global awareness of the threats faced by migratory birds, their ecological importance, and the need for international cooperation to conserve them.

Day for World Migratory Bird Day celebrations is 10 May.

Q:

Which formula represents a nonpolar molecule?

A) H2O B) CF4
C) HCl D) H2S
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) CF4

Explanation:

You 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.

Q:

Which of the following elements has the lowest electronegativity

A) Bromine B) Fluorine
C) Carbon D) Lithium
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Lithium

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the tendency for an atom to attract electrons. There are general trends on the periodic table which you can use to determine the relative electronegativity for different elements, but otherwise you can also look at their valence shell and effective nuclear charge to determine their relative electronegativity.

 

Here from the given options, Lithium has least tendency to attract electrons and thus has a lower electronegativity.
