They vibrate abour fixed points.

Since particles have charges that attract each other it stays intact.

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since, it is known that in solids strong intermolecular forces of attraction exists because of which particles are much closer to each other. Hence, they have definite shape and volume.

Particles of a solid are unable to move from their initial position unless an external force is applied to them. So, when no external force is applied then particles of a solid tend to vibrate at their fixed points.

Hence, we can conclude that particles tend to move in solids as they vibrate about fixed points.

Why is it permissible to use a wet bottle when first obtaining your kmno4 solution?

Murrr4er [49]

For the answer to the question above, well presumably because the exact concentration of the composition KMnO4 solution doesn't matter. <span>If the concentration of the KMnO4 solution is important (usually in titrations etc.) then it is not allowed to use a wet bottle. The water in the bottle will dilute the KMnO4 solution and change the concentration of the said compound.</span>

Give the empirical formula for C↓8H↓8

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Empirical formula of C₈H₈ = CH

Explanation:

Data Given:

Molecular Formula = C₈H₈

Empirical Formula = ?

Solution

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

C₈H₈ Consist of Carbon (C), and Hydrogen (H)

Now

Look at the ratio of these two atoms in the compound

C : H

8 : 8

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

C : H

8/8 : 8/8

1 : 1

So for the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen 1 : 1

So the empirical formula will be

Empirical formula of C₈H₈ = CH
