Oxygen and nitrogen are both gases at room temperature. Explain why oxygen has a greater force of attraction between its particl

es than nitrogen.(Room temperature is 20°C)
Chemistry
1 answer:
rodikova [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen molecules are formed as a result of covalent bonding between two atoms of oxygen. There is a sharing of two valence electrons so as to complete their respective octets. This is also similar to the formation of nitrogen molecules.

Oxygen has greater force of attraction because, the electronegativity of oxygen is the second strongest among the elements. Electronegativity deals with the relative tendency of an atom to attract electrons to itself. Therefore, the shared electrons are being greatly pulled by the two atoms of oxygen. The electronegativity of nitrogen is not as great as that of oxygen.

A car is traveling at a speed of 95 mi/h. If there are 0.62137 miles (mi) in a kilometer,
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

42 m/s

Explanation:

To we convert units for speed we can use dimensional analysis. First thing we do is seperate the measurement into a fraction. After this we can multiply by 1km over 0.62137 miles. We do this so that the miles cancel out.

\frac{95mi}{h} × \frac{1km}{0.62137mi} = \frac{95km}{0.62137h}

After this we can use a conversion factor and divide by 3.6.

\frac{95km}{0.62137h} ÷ 3.6 = 42 m/s
