Why does neon gas consist of individual, unbonded neon atoms while chlorine exists as diatomic chlorine molecules?

Neon gas consist of individual, unbonded neon atoms due to the stable (octet) configuration, while chlorine exists as diatomic chlorine molecules to gain stability.

<h3>How we define the stability of atoms?</h3>

Stability of any atom will be defined on the basis of the electronic configuration or the number of valence shell electrons they have.

  • Chlorine atom have seven electrons on the outermost shell of the atom and will able to gain 1 electron to get octet configuration, that's why present in the diatomic form.
  • Neon is a noble gas as they have stable configuration due to presence of 8 electrons in the valence shell, and due to stability it will not easily react with any other gas and present in single atomic form.

Hence due to stable configuration of neon it is present in the unbonded form.

By increasing the length of heat exchanger, the effectiveness and cold stream output temperature of the heat exchanger
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Effectiveness and cold stream output temperature of the heat exchange Increases. So, Answer is b) Increases.

Explanation:

We have a heat exchanger, and it is required to compare the effectiveness and cold stream output if the length is increased.

Heat exchangers are engineering devices used to transfer energy. Thermal energy is transferred from Fluid 1 - Hot fluid (HF) to a Fluid 2 - Cold Fluid (CF). Both fluids 1 and 2 can flow with different values of mass flow rate and different specific heat. When the streams go inside the heat exchanger Temperature of Fluid 1 (HF) will decrease, at the same time Temperature of the Fluid 2 (CF) will increase.

In this case, we need to analyze the behavior taking into account different lengths of heat exchangers. If the length of the heat exchanger increases, it means the transfer area will increases. Heat transfer will increase if the transfer area increases. In this sense, the increasing length is the same than increase heat transfer.

If the heat transfer increases, it means Fluid 1 (HF) will reduce its temperature, and at the same time Fluid 2 (CF) will increase its temperature.

Finally, Answer is b) Effectiveness and cold stream output temperature increases when the length of the heat exchanger is increased.
