Give explanations for the large drops in melting point from C to Si and from Ge to Sn.

Chemistry
1 answer:
____ [38]2 years ago
3 0

As we move down the group, the metallic bond becomes more stable and the formation of forming covalent bond decreases down the group due to the large size of elements.

Covalent and metallic bonding leads to higher melting points. Due to a decrease in attractive forces from carbon to lead there is a drop in melting point.

Carbon forms large covalent molecules than silicon and hence has a higher melting point than silicon.

Similarly, Ge also forms a large number of covalent bonds and has a smaller size as compared to that of Sn. Hence melting point decreases from Ge to Sn.

The order will be C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Water is a compound found readily in nature. It is made up of interatomic forces of covalent bonds that connects the hydrogen and oxygen bonds together in a definite ratio.

  • The intermolecular forces are responsible for the physical properties of substances.
  • These forces allows a compound to behave in certain ways.
  • In water, the intermolecular bonding present are the very strong hydrogen bonds.
  • For this bond type, the hydrogen of one water molecule is firmly attached to the oxygen of another water molecule.
  • The bonds are very strong forces.

If 3.64g of sand is separated from 5.25g of a mixture of salt and sand what is the percentage of sand in the sample
Mashcka [7]
Total weight of the mixture of sand and salt = 5.25 g
Weight of sand separated = 3.64 g
Weight of the salt in the mixture = (5.25 - 3.64) g
                                                   = 1.61 g
Then the percentage of sand in the sample = [(3.64/5.25) * 100] percent
                                                                      = 69.33%
So the percentage of sand in the total mixture of sand and salt is 69.33%.
