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.

Students find the pH of Substance A to be 2.1 and Substance B to be 4.4. They are told Substance C is less acidic than Substance
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the range should be 2.2 to 4.3

Explanation:

I think so because the numbers at the left side of the scale from 1 are more acidic so as it increases it's still acidic but lesser so 1 is more acidic than 2 so I used 2.2 as the beginning of the range because it's less acidic than A even though its a greater number and 4.3 is lesser than 4.4 but its still greater on the scale. frankly speaking I don't feel so correct because it's in decimal so try and compare facts thank you

Answer:

During the process of reaching thermal equilibrium heat is transferred between the object. heat is always transferred from the object at the higher temperature to the object with lower temperature. For a gas, the heat transfer is related to a change in temperature.
