Explain using the particle theory why objects generally expand when heated and contract when cooled?

1 answer:

4 0

When heated, particles vibrate faster, thus increasing the distance between one another. The distance between these particles results in changes of state. Therefore, increased molecular motion results in expansion of an object. This works vice versa for cooling. As the vibrations slow down, the particles become closer together. This results in contraction.

Which of the following is not a correct formula? A)Ba2O B)Ca3N2 C)KCl D)Li2S

love history [14]

Answer:- A. $Ba_2O$ is not the correct formula.

Explanations:- Charge for Ba is +2 and charge for O is -2, Here the charges are in equal and opposite so their ratio is 1:1 and hence the formula must be BaO and not $Ba_2O$ .

Rest of the formulas are correct as charge for Ca is +2 and charge for N is -3 . On criss cross we get the formula $Ca_3N_2$ .
