When particles that attract each other are allowed to come to together, energy is ______

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Released

Explanation:

When particles that attract each other come together, energy is usually released. The combination of the two particles is expected to result in a lower energy system. This lower energy system will be more stable than the different individual particles.

Hence, as this lower energy system is formed, the excess energy originally possessed by the particles is evolved hence energy is released when particles that attract each other are allowed to come together.

10. Summarize the effect of hydrogen bonding on boiling point.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

10. it increases the boiling point because it is a stone bond and will require much energy to break it.

11.So, to boil liquid water, all hydrogen bonds have to be broken and it requires a large amount of energy. This isn't the case in HF; all hydrogen bonds need not to be broken, and therefore a lesser amount of energy is required. So HF boils at a much lower temperature as compared to water even though F has high electronegativity but the force of attraction or the intermolecular is is weak

What happens to isotopes that are unstable?

Lesechka [4]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Isotopes are defined as the chemical species of the same element which differs in the number of neutrons. The isotopes which are unstable are known as radioactive isotope. A radioactive (unstable )isotope can undergo 3 decay process:

1. Alpha Decay: In this decay process, a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The particle released has a charge of +2 and a mass of 4 units.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\alpha$

2. Beta-minus decay: In this decay process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron. the particle released during this process is a beta-particle.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

3. Beta-plus decay: In this decay process, a protons gets converted into a neutron and electron-neutrino particle. The particle released during this process is a positron particle.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{+1}^0\beta$

Isotopes which are unstable in nature can undergo these 3 decay processes.
