The melting points of Na and K are 89°C and 63°C, respectively because of weak attractive force.

Sodium and potassium belongs to group 1.

<h3>What is atomic radii? </h3>

The distance of the outermost shell to the nucleus is called atomic radii.

As we go down the group, new shell is added which means number of shell increase as we go down the group.

Due to increase in the number of shells, the distance of outermost shell to the positively charged nucleus increase.Due to which atomic radius increase.

Due to increase in the atomic radii, the nuclear force of attraction on outermost shell decreases down the group.

This decrease in the nuclear force of attraction cause decrease in the melting point.

We can say that, melting point of a compound is inversely proportional to the atomic radii.

Therefore, melting point of sodium is less than the potassium atom.

Thus, we concluded that the melting points of Na and K are 89°C and 63°C, respectively because of weak attractive force.

A 0.1025-g sample of copper metal is dissolved in 35 ml of concentrated hno3 to form cu2 ions and then water is added to make a

GalinKa [24]

Molarity is defined as number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution.

Here, 0.1025 g of Cu is reacted with 35 mL of HNO_{3} to produced Cu^{2+} ions.

The balanced reaction will be as follows:

Cu+3HNO_{3}\rightarrow Cu(NO_{3})_{2}+NO_{2}+H_{2}O

From the above reaction, 1 mole of Cu produces 1 mole of Cu^{2+}, convert the mass of Cu into number of moles as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol thus,

n=\frac{0.1025 g}{63.55 g/mol}=0.0016 mol

Now, total molarity of solution, after addition of water is 200 mL or 0.2 L can be calculated as follows:

M=\frac{n}{V}=\frac{0.0016 mol}{0.2 L}=0.008 mol/L=0.008 M

Thus, molarity of Cu^{2+} is 0.008 M.

Why most molecules survive for long periods at room temperature

Vesnalui [34]

Explanation:

Most molecules survive for long periods of time at room temperature because at room temperature, they are stable. The room temperature is the temperature between 20-25°C where human beings are the most comfortable.

At the room temperature, most molecules are in their natural physical state without any reason to rearrange their bonds and a times be destroyed. The energy at room temperature is just perfect for bond stability.

Based on the name, which substance is a covalent compound?

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

dinitrogen pentoxide

Explanation:

Based on the research, dinitrogen pentoxide is a chemical compound containing only nitrogen and oxygen which is both nonmetal. When two nonmetals or two negatively charged atoms try to form bonds, they always form covalent bonds. Hence, Dinitrogen Pentoxide is not ionic - it is covalent.
