Answer:
Neon molecule does not exist.
Explanation:
Neon is denoted by Ne which is noble gas. According to the "Molecular Orbital Theory", only those molecules exist that have a positive bond order and molecules with no bond or negative bond order cannot exist.
Answer:
Their amount is not consistent at all parts of the atmosphere
Explanation:
Carbon dioxide and water vapor exists as variable gases in the atmosphere because their amount varies from one part to the other.
- The abundance of variable gases is influenced strongly by activities from the surface.
- This variability occurs a result of the contribution from from life activities on the surface.
- Also, due to properties of the gases, they are not evenly distributed.
- At certain altitudes, the amount of water vapor can be low.
18.The octet rule tells us that in every chemical
reactions, elements will either gain or lose electrons to attain the noble gas electron
configuration. This stable<span> electron configuration is known as the octet configuration
since it is composed of 8 valence. Oxygen’s electron configuration is 1s2 2s2
2p4. So when</span> oxygen reacts with
other elements to form compounds, it completes the octet configuration by
taking 2 electrons from the element
it reacts with
19. Actually pure metals are made up not of
metal atoms but rather of closely packed cations (positively charge particles).
These cations are then surrounded by a pack of mobile valence electrons which
drift from one part of the metal<span> to
another. This is called metallic bond.</span>
20. This is the
energy which is needed to break a single bond. When the dissociation energy is
large, this means that the compound is more stable. Since carbon to carbon
bonds have high dissociation energy, therefore they are not very reactive.
21. Network solids are type of solids
in which the atoms are covalently bonded to one another, so they are very
stable. It takes higher temperature to melt them because breaking these
covalent bonds required greater energy. Some examples are:
- Diamond
<span>-Silicon Carbide</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is Sugar has a greater solubility than sand.
Sugar will easily dissolve in water because it has a lower density than sand, therefore it has a greater solubility.
