The dipole moments decrease across the series PH3 > AsH3 > SbH3 > BiH3. Why do the boiling points increase?

Check all that apply.

The electron clouds of the molecules become smaller along the series.

The electron clouds of the molecules become larger along the series.

The smaller numbers of electrons are more polarizable, leading to greater dispersion forces.

The larger numbers of electrons are more polarizable, leading to greater dispersion forces.

Estimate the dipole moments of all five possible HX compunds, where X is a halogen, using only the Pauling electronegativities and showing your answers in both Coulomb-meters and Debye. What is responsible for the trend in polarities of these bonds that your calculations predict? (i.e. what causes the differences in the halogen electronegativities?) Follow-up question: How does this trend differ from that of van der waals interactions involving the halogens?

Suppose that real interest rates decrease across Europe. This development will (Increase/Decrease) U.S. net capital outflow at all U.S. real interest rates, which in turn will cause the (Demand for/Supply of) loanable funds to (Increase/Decrease) because net capital outflow is a component of the relevant curve in the loanable funds market.

In class we learned that, if terms added in a series continually decrease in size, the terms will eventually be too small to be stored by MATLAB. When a number is too small to be stored, we learned that such a situation is called underflow; in this case, MATLAB will just store it as 0. We also learned that a program computing such a series can terminate the loop when the next term to be added is equal to 0...
