Usually in this context you would be referring to the boiling and freezing point of a NaCl <em>solution</em> (saltwater) compared to pure H_{2}O. Sematics would be different for NaCl compound itself, you would say melting and boiling point for a solid substance- and the temperatures would be very, very radical (high).
The boiling point of pure water is 100 degrees C (212 F), and the freezing/melting point is below 0 degrees C (32 F). For a salt water solution, the boiling point is raised and the melting point is lowered. This means that water will stay liquid for an increased range of temperature. Depending on the amount of NaCl solute in the water, the boiling and melting points may change a few degrees.
Answer:
Period
Explanation:
Periodic trend along period:
As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction.
The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.The electron affinity also increases along period because of greater positive charge.
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Polarity is defined as the development of partial charges on the atoms of a molecule.
Whereas polarizability is defined as the ability or measure of how readily an electron cloud is able to get distorted. More is the polarizability more will be the electron is distorted in nature.
A dipole moment is defined as the measurement of the separation of two opposite electrical charges.
Thus, we can conclude that when the electron cloud of a molecule is easily distorted, the molecule has a high polarizability.
