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

Chemistry
1 answer:
____ [38]1 year 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.

The chemical equation is unbalanced and synthesized.

<h3></h3><h3>What is a chemical equation?</h3>

A chemical equation is described as the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.

In a chemical equation, the reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities is shown on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that indicates towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.

We can conclude that in the chemical equation shown is unbalanced because both amounts of the individual elements and compounds do not reflect on the reactant and product side.

The complete question is below:

After learning about the law of conservation of mass, Sammy became interested in balancing equations. He knew that the symbol for aluminum was Al and silver tarnish was Ag2S. He also knew that mixing the two chemicals yielded pure silver, or Ag, in an aluminum sulfide solution. Here is the equation showing this reaction:

3 Ag2S + 2 Al → 6 Ag + Al2S3

This equation is (synthesis / unbalanced / replacement / balanced), and it represents a(n) (unbalanced / balanced / synthesized / replaced) chemical reaction.

answer choices:

  • synthesis; balanced

  • balanced; replacement

  • unbalanced; synthesized

  • balanced; balanced

The laws of electrostatics predict that protons will
GaryK [48]
The laws of the electrostatics were developed by Coulomb and are further detailed or subdivided into two as follows:

(1) The first one talks about the similarities in the charges of the particles and what happens to them. This states that like charges repel.

(2) The second one quantifies the field between two particles with equation showing that field is directly proportional to the masses and inversely to the square of the distance between them.

In this item, we can then say that the protons (having the same charges) will have to repel from each other in accordance to statement 1 of the law.
