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 molar mass of aluminum (Al)
Papessa [141]

Answer:

26.981539 u

Explanation:

One mole of Al atoms has a mass in grams that is numerically equivalent to the atomic mass of aluminum. The periodic table shows that the atomic mass (rounded to two decimal points) of Al is 26.98, so 1 mol of Al atoms has a mass of 26.98 g.

Which describes the amplitude of a wave when it carries more energy?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

It is higher.

Explanation:

The amplitude of a wave that carries more energy is usually higher.

The energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude in such a manner that it is proportional to the square amplitude.

Amplitude is the maximum vertical displacement of a wave moving along its path.

  • Energy of wave and its amplitude are directly proportional to one another.
  • If the energy of wave is doubled, the amplitude is quadrupled.
  • So, the higher the energy of a wave, the more its amplitude.
