Please answer quickly!! 1. Which of the following statements is true? a. The breaking of bonds is exothermic, and therefore has a negative delta H value.
b. The breaking of bonds is exothermic, and therefore has a positive Delta H value.
6. The breaking of bonds is endothermic, and therefore has a negative Delta H value.
d. The breaking of bonds is endothermic, and therefore has a positive Delta H value

d

Explanation:

a positive change in enthalpy is required to break a bond, while a negative change in enthalpy is accompanied by the formation of a bond. Bond breaking in endothermic because it requires energy, therefore delta H is positive.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
