The motion of the molecules decreases.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- Gases are formed when the energy in a system overcomes the attractive forces between the molecules. The gases expand to fill the space they occupy. In this way, the gas molecules interact little. In the gaseous state, the molecules move very quickly. As the temperature decreases, the amount of movement of the individual molecules also decreases.
- The fast-moving particle slows down. When a particle speeds up, it has more kinetic energy. When a particle slows down, it has less kinetic energy. The particles in solid form are commonly connected through electrostatic powers. They don't get enough space to move around, therefore, their speed diminishes, they can't keep their standard speed like in the vaporous or fluid state.
For better representation, let me rewrite the electronic configuration:
<span>1s</span>²<span>2s</span>²<span>2p</span>⁶<span>3s</span>²<span>3p</span>⁶<span>4s</span>²<span>3d</span>⁴
The exponents represent the number of electrons in the designated subshell. Thus, the total number of electrons are:
# of electrons = 2+2+6+2+6+2+4 = 24
Assuming this is in neutral state, the element with an atomic number of 24 is Chromium. Thus, the answer is Cr.
Explanation:
Molar mass of HBr = 81 g/mol
Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide gas = 46 g/mol
Molar mass of ethane = 30 g/mol
Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows the equation:
So, the gas with least molar mass will effuse out fastest from the container and that is ethane gas.
The formula for average kinetic energy is:
where,
k = Boltzmann’s constant = 
T = temperature = 273.15 K ( at STP)
As we can see from the formula that kinetic energy depends upon only temperature of the gas molecule.
So, from this we can say that all the gas molecules have the same average kinetic energy at this temperature.
