Select the correct answer. John is riding a ski lift to the top of Wildcat Mountain. He removes his gloves and rapidly rubs his hands together to warm them up. What
happens when John rubs his hands?
O A. The skin on his hands rapidly conducts heat, similar to metal.
O B. He traps heat between his hands because skin is an insulator. IS
O C. The particles In his hands vibrate faster because of friction.
O D. Thermal energy moves from his fingertips to his palms.
O E. He simulates a fever that'll raise his core body temperature.

Fairly certain it's C. The particles In his hands vibrate faster because of friction :)

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.  

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
