Which of the following statements is incorrect? select one:
a. ionic bonding results from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
b. dipole moments result from the unequal distribution of electrons in a molecule.
c. the electrons in a polar bond are found nearer to the more electronegative element.
d. a molecule with very polar bonds can be nonpolar.
e. linear molecules cannot have a net dipole moment.

Option (E) is correct.

The statement (E) given in the question is the incorrect statement . Since linear molecule comprises of two different atoms which can further have a net dipole moment. This moment will generally result from an unstable distribution of electrons. They also tend to occur when there is a segregation of charge. They arise from changes in their respective electronegativity.

true is the correct answer

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
