Answer:
C.) No. of electrons
Explanation:
A.) is incorrect. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an element. Nitrogen (N) and sodium (Na) always have a differing amount of protons.
B.) is incorrect. The mass number represents the number of protons and neutrons in an element. The number of neutrons and protons are specific to each element (disregarding isotopes). When elements ionize, these amounts are not altered.
C.) is correct. When an element becomes an ion, the number of electrons change. When nitrogen gains 3 electrons and sodium loses 1 electron, they end up having the same number of electrons (10).
D.) is incorrect. When elements ionize, the number of neutrons does not change. The only way two different elements could have the same number of neutrons is if at least one of the elements is an isotope. Isotopes are two or more atoms of the same element that differ in their amounts of neutrons.
All animals can be dangerous and they would fight for their family. (This might be wrong)
D as the two substances could have close boiling points, so if the temperature is not controlled well, both substances will evaporate.
Answer is: intramolecular attractions are stronger.
Intramolecular attractions are the forces between atoms in molecule.
There are several types of intramolecular forces: covalent bonds, ionic bonds.
Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules. The stronger are intermolecular forces, the higher is boiling point of compound, because more energy is needed to break interaction between molecules.
There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.
Hydrogen bonds are approximately 5% of the bond strength of covalent C-C or C-H bonds.
Hydrogen bonds strength in water is approximately 20 kJ/mol, strenght of carbon-carbon bond is approximately 350 kJ/mol and strengh of carbon-hydrogen bond is approximately 340 kJ/mol.
20 kJ/350 kJ = 0.057 = 5.7 %.
