Physical change: a change in which no new substances are formed. the form of the substance is changed but not it's chemical composition (ice melting, bread toasting)

chemical change: any change that results in the formation of new chemical substances. this type of change modifies molecules and atoms by making and breaking the bonds between atoms! (iron rusting, gas burning)

so basically a physical change just changes the appearance of a substance, but a chemical change changes the makeup on a molecular level. i hope this helps you out!

The volume of a sample gas, initially at 25 C and 158 mL, increased to 450 mL. What is the final temperature of the sample of ga
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Final temperature of the gas is  576 ^{0}\textrm{C}.

Explanation:

As the amount of gas and pressure of the gas remains constant therefore in accordance with Charles's law:

                                       \frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}

where V_{1} and V_{2} are volume of gas at T_{1} and T_{2} temperature (in kelvin scale) respectively.

Here V_{1}=158mL , T_{1}=(273+25)K=298K and V_{2}=450mL

So  T_{2}=\frac{V_{2}T_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{(450mL)\times (298K)}{(158mL)}=849K 

849 K = (849-273) ^{0}\textrm{C} = 576 ^{0}\textrm{C}

So final temperature of the gas is  576 ^{0}\textrm{C}.

As you move from bottom on the periodic table to the top shielding
masha68 [24]

Answer:

AS we move from bottom to top on periodic table shielding decreased.

Explanation:

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.

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As we move from bottom to top the energy level decreased because of decreased in electron thus shielding decreased and atomic size also decreased.
