Atoms are smaller than molecules, and they are also the smallest building blocks of matter. Atoms make up molecules when two or more atoms bond.
Not necessarily.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Isomers might differ in polarities. They will end up with different physical properties such as melting points.
Example:
- 1,2-dichlorobenzene has a melting point of around -18 ~ -17 degrees celsius. (SynQuest)
- 1,4-dichlorobenzene (with two chlorine opposite to each other on a benzene ring) has a melting point of 52 ~ 54 degrees celsius. (SynQuest)
Both 1,4- and 1,2-dichlorobenzene contains two chlorine atoms connected to a benzene ring. The two molecules are structural isomers.
The two chlorine atoms are adjacent to each other in the 1,2 isomer. The molecule is asymmetric and polar.
The two chlorine align with an axis of symmetry in the 1,4 isomer. The molecule is symmetric. The dipoles would cancel out to produce a nonpolar molecule.
Dipole-dipole interactions are typically stronger than <em>induced</em> dipole<em> </em>in isomers. As a result, the 1,2 isomer has a higher melting point.

Complete question:
The decomposition of SO2Cl2 is first order in SO2Cl2 and has a rate constant of 1.44×10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ at a certain temperature.
If the initial concentration of SO2Cl2 is 0.125 M , what is the concentration of SO2Cl2 after 210 s ?
Answer:
After 210 s the concentration of SO2Cl2 will be 0.121 M
Explanation:
![ln\frac{[A_t]}{[A_0]} =-kt](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ln%5Cfrac%7B%5BA_t%5D%7D%7B%5BA_0%5D%7D%20%3D-kt)
where;
At is the concentration of A at a time t
A₀ is the initial concentration of A
k is rate constant = 1.44×10⁻⁴ s⁻¹
t is time
ln(At/A₀) = -( 1.44×10⁻⁴)t
ln(At/0.125) = -( 1.44×10⁻⁴)210
ln(At/0.125) = -0.03024

At/0.125 = 0.9702
At = 0.125*0.9702
At = 0.121 M
Therefore, after 210 s the concentration of SO2Cl2 will be 0.121 M
Answer : The shape of the fluoroform molecule is Tetrahedral.
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the Hybridization of the molecule by formula,
![\text{Number of electrons} = \frac{1}{2}[V+H-C+A]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BNumber%20of%20electrons%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5BV%2BH-C%2BA%5D)
where,
V = Number of valence shell electron in central atom
H = Number of neighboring monovalent atom
C = charge of cation
A = charge of anion
The central atom in this molecule is Carbon, it has 4 electrons in their valence shell.
The neighboring monovalent atoms are one Hydrogen atom and three Fluorine atom.
There is no charge of cation and anion on the given molecule.
V = 4
H = 1 Hydrogen atom + 3 fluorine atom = 4
C = 0
A = 0
By the above hybridization formula, we get
= 4
The number of electron pair = 4
The number of lone pair = 0
The number of electrons is 4, this means that the hybridization is
and the geometry of the molecule is Tetrahedral.
The geometry of the molecule is shown below.
