Answer is: the combined ionic bond strength of CrCl₂ and intermolecular forces between water molecules.

When chromium chloride (CrCl₂) is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water increases, heat of the solution is endothermic.

Dissociation of chromium chloride in water: CrCl₂(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).

Energy (the lattice energy) is required to pull apart the oppositely charged ions in chromium chloride.

The heat of hydration is liberated energy when the separated ions (in this example chromium cations and chlorine anions) attract polar water molecules.

Because the lattice energy is higher than the heat of the hydration (endothermic reaction), we can conclude that bonds between ions are strong (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).

The individual dipole moments in ammonia (NH3) do not cancel each other
kozerog [31]

Answer:

                    The strongest force that exists between molecules of Ammonia is <em>Hydrogen Bonding</em>.

Explanation:

                    Hydrogen Bond Interactions are those interactions which are formed between a partial positive hydrogen atom bonded directly to most electronegative atoms (i.e. F, O and N) of one molecule interacts with the partial negative most electronegative atom of another molecule.

                    Hence, in ammonia the nitrogen atom being more electronegative element than Hydrogen will be having partial negative charge and making the hydrogen atom partial positive. Therefore, the attraction between these partials charges will be the main force of interaction between ammonia molecules.

                  Other than Hydrogen bonding interactions ammonia will also experience dipole-dipole attraction and London dispersion forces.

What is the structure of hair?
maks197457 [2]
A protective layer composed of overlapping cells, like fish scales or roof tiles, but facing downwards. The outer cuticle holds your hair in your hair follicle by means of a Velcro-like bond. It also minimizes the movement of water (moisture) in and out of the underlying cortex.

Explain the difference between an endothermic and an exothermic reaction using the concepts of potential energy, stability, and
kakasveta [241]
An Exothermic reaction releases energy into the surroundings and so the products have more potential energy then the reactants. The enthalpy change is a negative value. Whereas, an endothermic reaction involves the absorption of energy into the system and so the reactants have more potential energy than the products. The enthalpy change is a positive value. This is clearly represented in energy profile diagrams.
