That's false. Because, the molecules in a solid are compacted too tightly together that they don't have all that extra space that a gas would. Molecules in a gas would have more thermal energy because they have all that space to move around in. The more they move around, the hotter it gets. The less that they move around, and the more that they put and packed together, the colder it's going to be.

Hope this helped you!! (:

In which type of condition is a conditions is a landslide most likely to occur

masha68 [24]

Answer:

<u>B. In a wet, hilly area</u>

Explanation:

We know that for a landslide to happen, there has to be a down hill slope so it can fall.

This eliminates answers C, D and E.

So we are left with A and B

Now we can look at this in a real life scenario. If you have ever walking on wet ground, you will know that is weaker than dry ground. Knowing this, we know the answer will have to be answer B.

The compound potassium carbonate, K_2 CO_3 is soluble in water. Write the formulas for the ions that interact with water as show

Rus_ich [418]

The compound potassium carbonate(K₂CO₃) is soluble in the water. The formulas for the ions that interact with the water is K⁺ and (CO₃)²⁻.

Dissociation of any compound is defined as the breaking of a compound into a simpler substance which is capable of recombining under different conditions. The compound potassium carbonate(K₂CO₃) is an ionic compound, and ionic compound is formed by a combination of cation and anion. When ionic compounds are dissolved in the water, it separates into the cations and anions.

Potassium carbonate(K₂CO₃) is a strong electrolyte. It means that it is completely dissociate in the water. Its dissociation in the water is shown as

K₂CO₃(aq)→2K⁺(aq)+(CO₃)²⁻(aq)

Therefore, the compound potassium carbonate forms K⁺ and (CO₃)²⁻ ions when interact with the water.

The question looks incomplete but the complete question is

The compound potassium carbonate is a strong electrolyte. Write the reaction when solid potassium carbonate is put into water

What are the characteristics of a substance in the liquid state?

gogolik [260]

The particles are packed closely togetehr but not as tightly as in solids and the particles slide past one another. the particles ahev no regular arrangement, no fixed shape and it takes on the shape of the container it's in. it has a fixed volume and it can't be easily compressed.
