Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Weak forces of attraction between the molecules of a substance are known as Vander waal forces.

Down the group there is increase in atomic size of the elements of a group due to the increase in atomic mass which increases the number of electrons in the atoms.

These electrons are held by Vander waal forces (or intermolecular forces) and strength of these forces increase down the group. As a result, more heat is required to move the electrons due to which there occurs increase in boiling point of atoms.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement total number of electrons increases down the group, and this increases the strength of the intermolecular forces, best explains the trends in boiling points.

What is the mass of 4.56 moles of copper (ii) fluoride​
musickatia [10]

Answer:

463.0 g.

Explanation:

  • We can use the following relation:

<em>n = mass/molar mass.</em>

where, n is the mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ (m = 4.56 mol),

mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ = ??? g.

molar mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ = 101.543 g/mol.

∴ mass of copper(ii) fluoride​ = (n)(molar mass) = (4.56 mol)(101.543 g/mol) = 463.0 g.

Explain in words or using your diagrams how beryllium atoms would react with fluorine atoms.
Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

To delineate the the nature of the bonds that would be formed between the two elements, let us first write the electronic configuration of the two species;

  Be  = 2, 2

  F  = 2, 7

 Beryllium is a metal with two valence electrons whereas fluorine is a halogen with seven valence electrons.

When Be loses two electrons it becomes isoelectronic with He;

                 Be →  Be²⁺ + 2e⁻  

Also, when fluorine gains  an electron, it becomes isoelectronic with Ne;

               F  + e⁻ →  F⁻

This loss and gain of electrons between the two elements creates an electrostatic attraction them and they enter into an electrovalent bond.

      Hence;

           Be²⁺  + 2F⁻ → BeF₂

What is a connective tissue?
dimaraw [331]
Connective tissue is developed from embryonic mesoderm. It often consists of interlacing protein fibers (though there are some exceptions, such as blood) that form a framework for and connect, support, separate, and bind tissues and organs in the body. Examples include cartilage and bone. 

Hope this helps!
