Why are the properties of a compound different than the elements that make it up.

Chemistry
1 answer:
nexus9112 [7]1 year ago
3 0

The properties of compounds are different, and in some cases very different, from those of the elements that compose them. This is because elements combine in compounds to become completely different substances with unique properties.

Compounds contain atoms of different elements chemically bonded in fixed ratios. An element is a pure chemical substance made up of atoms of the same kind. Compounds contain different elements in fixed ratios, arranged in a defined way by chemical bonds.

This is caused by different base properties where each element has a different number. Due to the number of electrons and differences in shell and valence electrons, different elements bond differently to certain other elements.

Compounds:

is composed of atoms of two or more different elements bonded together, and

can be broken down into simpler types of matter (elements) by chemical (rather than physical) means. from its components, and.

always contains the same proportions of atomic components.

What is an ionic bond
Pani-rosa [81]
Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

A gaseous system undergoes a change in temperature and volume. What is the entropy change for a particle in this system if the f
viva [34]

Answer: -2.373  x 10^-24J/K(particles

Explanation: Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness of a system which is a function of the state of a system and depends on the number of the random microstates present.

The entropy change for a particle in a system  depends on the initial and final states of a system and is given by Boltzmann equation as  

S = k ln(W) .

where S =Entropy

K IS Boltzmann constant ==1.38 x 10 ^-23J/K

W is the number of microstates available to the system.

 The  change in entropy is given as

S2 -S1 = kln W2 - klnW1

dS = k ln (W2/W1)

where w1 and w2 are initial and final microstates

from the question, W2(final) = 0.842 x W1(initial), so:

= 1.38*10-23 ln (0.842)

=1.38*10-23  x -0.1719

= -2.373  x 10^-24J/K(particles)

I need help on 26, 28, 36-40
gtnhenbr [62]

26. a megagram = 10⁶ grams while a kilogram = 10³ grams, so the megagram is bigger

28. a mililiter = 10⁻³ liters while a microliter = 10⁻⁶ liters, so the mililiter is bigger

36.   1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, so the decimal moves right 2 places

37. 1 micrometer is equal to 0.001 milimeters, so the decimal moves left 3 places

38. 1 centimeter is equal to 0.00001 kilometers, so the decimal moves left 5 places

39. 1 micrometer is equal to 10⁻¹² megameters, so the decimal moves left 12 places

40. 1 kilometer is equal to 100000 centimeters, so the decimal moves right 5 places
