Minerals need to be solid with a crystalline structure. Ice has these properties, liquid water does not. (i hope that helps you)
Bonds are forces of attractions between atoms formed by the transfer of electrons or sharing of electrons. Metallic bond is a type bond that exist in metallic structures where the atoms of the metals attracts the sea of electrons in the structure.It is these metallic bonds that results to the malleability , ductility and conductivity of metals because in that the sea of electrons makes them conduct electricity. In addition the atoms of metals in the structure are ions which can slide past each other in the sea of electrons.
When the iron is not bonded to anything the oxidation number is 0 but when it is bonded to a nonmetal it will be positive. All reactions in which the oxidation number changes are considered redox.
Answer:
When ΔS > ΔH/ T, then the reaction will proceed forward
Explanation:
- The entity that determines the whether a reaction will occur on its own in the forward direction (Spontaneity or Feasibility) is Gibb's free energy.
- Gibb's free energy is the energy available to do work. It is denoted as 'G'. It cannot be easily measured. The change (ΔG) can only be measured. ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
when ΔG is positive, The reaction is not spontaneous (reaction will not occur on its own)
When ΔG is negative, The reaction is spontaneous (reaction will occur on its own)
When ΔG is zero, the reaction is in equilibrium
Option A and E are not correct. ΔH (Enthalpy) cannot determine spontaneity
Option C and D cannot alone determine spontaneity of reaction
For reaction to be spontaneous, TΔS > ΔH
Therefore, ΔS > ΔH/T
