-- There is no need to develop the pictures. They are available immediately in a digital camera.
-- There is no change in the teacher from one picture to the next.
-- The distance the watermelon falls from the teacher in each new picture is more in each picture than in the picture before it. (C)
The Answer is D) equal hydrogen and hydroxide-ion concentration
Answer:
The lone pair of electrons occupy more space because the electrostatic force becomes weaker.
Explanation:
When there is a bond pair of electrons in the 2 positively charged the atomic nuclei draw the electron density towards them, thereby reducing the bond diameter.
In the case of the lone pair, only 1 nucleus is present, and the enticing electrostatic force becomes weaker and the intensity of the electrons will be increases. Therefore, the lone pair occupies more space than the pair of bonds.
No problem, and you already know all about it.
Here are a few examples of same volume / different weight:
-- A bottle full of water is heavier than the same bottle when it's full of air.
-- Stones are heavier than styrofoam chunks the same size.
-- A bowl of meat loaf is heavier than a bowl of scrambled eggs.
In each example, two things have the same volume, but one weighs more than
the other. I didn't say anything about mass yet, but that's easy: As long as you
keep everything on Earth, more weight means more mass.
So how come, in each example, things with the same volume have different mass ?
This was your original question.
The answer is just the simple fact that there are millions of different substances, and
each different substance packs a different amount of mass into the same volume.
The amount of mass that a substance packs into a standard volume is called
the <em>density</em> of the substance. Meat loaf is more dense than scrambled eggs.
Stone is more dense than styrofoam. Water is more dense than air. And <em>gold</em>
is 19 times as dense as water. If you have a jar that holds a pound of water, and
you pour out the water and fill the jar with gold, the same jar holds 19 pounds of gold,
because the density of gold is 19 times the density of water.
The reason you were assigned to think about this question for homework is that
next time your Physics class meets, you'll start talking about <em>Density. </em><em /> And you're
all ready for it now.
