<span>Atoms move at different speeds depending on whether they are in liquids or solids </span><span>because the atoms or particles in solids are closely bonded while they are loosely bonded in liquids.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>The attractive forces between the particles are so high that they remain in fixed positions. The particles, then, cannot slip over the neighbors particles. They can only vibrate. That is why solids have definite form and volume.</span><span />

<span>That the particles in liquids are loosely bonded means that the attractive forces are less compared with solids. Then the partilces can move and pass each other. They are not in fixed arrangements any more. Yet the particles are attracted to each other, so they have definite volume, although they take the form of the vessel, and they can flow.

A.explain what is meant by term
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Atomic numbers:

Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. It is one of the most diagonistic and representative number used in identifying an atom. The periodic table of element arranges elements based on this number.

No two elements have the same atomic number.

Protons are positively charged particles in an atom.

  • In a neutral atom, the atomic number is the same as the number electrons since electrical neutrality is attained when the number of protons and electrons are the same.
  • The atomic number determines the position of an atom on the periodic table and it is unique for every atom.

2.

Periodic patterns

These are trends on that can be predicted on the periodic table because they shew regularities down a group or sometimes across the period.

Some of these trends are atomic radius, electronegativity, metallicity, nuclear charge e.t.c

Properties of elements can be predicted using these patterns even before they are discovered.

b.

Physical property shared by Helium, Argon and Neon is that they are all gases. All group 8 elements are called noble or inert gases.

Chemical property of these elements: they are chemically unreactive.

These gases are very stable having complete electronic shell configuration. Every atom on the periodic table tries to attain the state of the noble gases.

C.

Noble Gases/ Inert Gases/ Group O elements

How lead and iodine compound formed
ale4655 [162]
These are dissolved in water to form colourless solutions, and then mixed together. This mixing leads to a double displacement reaction, essentially resulting in the metals 'swapping' their places in the two compounds, producing lead (II) iodide, and potassium nitrate.

Is each of these statements true? If not, explain why.(m) For most reactions, ΔH°rnx is lowered by a catalyst.
barxatty [35]

A  catalyst reduces H°rnx in most reactions. The answer is false

<h3>Do catalysts reduce delta H?</h3>

By reducing the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, a catalyst just modifies the route used to go from reactants to products. However, because it doesn't alter the state of the products or reactants, delta H is unaffected.

A catalyst reduces a reaction's activation energy, enabling a chemical reaction to occur. The number of reactant particles with energy above the activation energy increases as the temperature of a reaction rises.
