Friction is helpful:
- We use it to brake for cars
- We use it to fly planes
-We wouldn't be able to turn a door knob without friction ( Our hand would just slide off it)

Friction harmful:
-Our cars would get much better gas mileage without tire and air friction
- There would be no skinned knees if friction didn't exist (Like when your skating or football)
- We could do some pretty cool dance moves without friction
- Our shoes would last longer without friction

For each row in the table below, decide whether the pair of elements will form a molecular or ionic compound. If they will, then

Olin [163]

Answer:

$\begin{array}{cccll}\textbf{Element 1} & \textbf{ Element 2} &\textbf{Compound?} &\textbf{Formula} &\textbf{Type}\\\text{Ar}&\text{Xe} &\text{No} &\text{None}&\text{Neither}\\\text{F}& \text{Cs} &\text{Yes} &\text{CsF} &\text{Ionic}\\\text{N} &\text{Br} &\text{Yes} & \text{NBr}_{3}&\text{molecular} \\\end{array}$

Explanation:

You look at the type of atom and their electronegativity difference.

If ΔEN <1.6, covalent; if ΔEN >1.6, ionic

Ar/Xe: Noble gases; no reaction

F/Cs: Non-metal + metal; ΔEN = |3.98 – 0.79| = 3.19; Ionic

N/Br: Two nonmetals; ΔEN = |3.04 - 2.98| = 0.

The difference between an element and a compound is that an element is a substance made of same type of atoms, whereas a compound is made of different elements in definite proportions. Examples of elements include iron, copper, hydrogen and oxygen. Examples of compounds include water (H2O) and salt (Sodium Chloride - NaCl)
