Detergents are amphipathic molecules that contain polar or charged hydrophilic groups (heads) at the end of long lipophilic hydrocarbon groups (tails) (Figure 1). They are also known as surfactants because they decrease the surface tension of water.
Answer: if this is true or false, then this is false, something that is cold has slow moving particles, fast moving ones generate heat which will make it warm, this object has potential energy not kinetic.
In general the inter- molecular attraction between particles of gases is much more smaller than those found in the particles of liquids. Because of this, the particles of gases are usually far apart from one another while the particles of liquid are closer together compares to that of gases.
Methane is lighter than air, having a specific gravity of 0.554. It is only slightly soluble in water. It burns readily in air, forming carbon dioxide
and water vapour; the flame is pale, slightly luminous, and very hot.
The boiling point of methane is −162 °C (−259.6 °F) and the melting
point is −182.5 °C (−296.5 °F). Methane in general is very stable, but
mixtures of methane and air, with the methane content between 5 and 14
percent by volume, are explosive. Explosions of such mixtures have been
frequent in coal mines and collieries and have been the cause of many
mine disasters.
