which state of matter is made up of atoms and molecules that are held closely together by attractive forces between them

Answer:

In solid state all the atoms and molecules are held very closely together by strong attractive forces.

Explanation:

Solids have definite volume and shape.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.

Their melting and boiling point are every high.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.

Consider the example of water. Which is present in three state solid, liquid and gas. In the form of ice its volume is less as compared to the liquid and gas, because molecules are tightly packed. If we melt the same ice we observe the volume is increase because molecules are now apart from each other. The distance between the molecules of water increased. If the same amount of water is evaporated the molecule of water will occupy all available space , and the distance between the water molecules get increased and inter molecular forces becomes negligible.

How does a small set of elements combine to form molecules , compounds and mixtures, which are used in your daily lives?
Anastaziya [24]

Elements are the simplest substances in nature that cannot be broken down into smaller parts by normal chemical means. They contain only atoms of the same type, ones that have identical chemical properties. There are at least 90 naturally-occurring elements, plus man-made ones. If you look at a periodic table, you'll see the names of each of these elements and some of their properties (such as mass, or how heavy the atom is).

Molecules & Compounds

When atoms from different elements are joined together in groups, they form molecules. The atoms in molecules bind together chemically, which means that the atoms cannot be separated again by physical means, such as filtration. The molecule has different properties from the elements from which is was made. A water molecule is not three separate atoms, two hydrogen (H) and one oxygen (O), but it is actually a unique H2O molecule with its own set of distinct properties.

Like elements that are formed of atoms of the same sort, compounds are formed of molecules of the same sort. The elements can be combined into about 2 million different compounds! Did you know that eggshells are made up of a calcium carbonate compound? And citric acid, which is found in oranges and other citrus fruit, is a compound of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Your kids might find it helpful to do a science research project finding other common compounds around your house. Make hypotheses and do research using a chemistry reference book, web site, or text book to find out the answers.

There are more carbon compounds than compounds of any other element. Organic compound is the name for the carbon compounds found in all living things.

Mixtures - A Bit of This and That

All matter can be classified into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. A pure substance consists of a single element or compound. Iron is formed only of iron (Fe) atoms; table salt is formed only of sodium chloride (NaCl) molecules. A mixture, however, is made up of different compounds and/or elements. When salt is added to water to make saltwater, it becomes a mixture. The salt and water molecules do not combine to form new molecules, but only "mix" together while still retaining their identities. Air is also a mixture, containing just the right amounts of nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases for life on Earth.  

Not all mixtures have the same composition throughout. Salt water does, but Italian salad dressing does not--the parts separate and are not perfectly blended or homogenous. Mixtures of metals are called alloys (bronze is an alloy of copper and tin); liquid mixtures (such as saltwater) are called solutions.

The substances that make up a mixture can be separated by physical means because they have different physical properties (such as different melting points) and are not chemically bonded. A mixture can be separated into its parts in a variety of ways, including decantation (letting the sand in a mixture of water and sand settle, and then draining off the water, for example), filtering, and evaporation. You can use a kitchen funnel and coffee filter for filtration, and either use sunlight or low heat for evaporation. Try out these methods on saltwater and a sand and water mixture to see how they work and compare the results. Evaporation will work for both saltwater and sand and water solutions, but filtration will not work for saltwater. Can you think of other examples where a separating method will work for one mixture and not another? Another one to try is lemon juice, a mixture of water and citric acid; what do you think happens when it is boiled? The water evaporates and eventually leaves nothing but citric acid crystals

Identify the statement that correctly describes light and how it travels? (2 points)
schepotkina [342]

Light does not travel at a constant speed in a vacuum, compared to in air, because the light is being absorbed by atoms and molecules in the air. But light does travel at a constant speed in a vacuum.
So I agree with A
All that talk about moving forward is irrelevant (I think)

Given the following Babnced equation 4NH3 +5O2>
igor_vitrenko [27]
4NH3 + 5O2 ==> 4NO + 6H2O Balanced equation
ALWAYS WORK IN MOLES, NOT IN GRAMS
moles of NO produced = 70.5 g NO x 1 mole/30 g = 2.35 moles NO
Since this represents only a 29.8% yield, find what 100% yield would be:
2.35 moles/0.298 = 7.89 moles of NO
From the balanced equation 4 moles NH3 produces 4 moles of NO. Calculate moles of NH3 needed:
7.89 moles NO x 4 moles NH3/4 moles NO = 7.89 moles NH3 needed
Find grams of NH3 needed:
7.89 moles NH3 x 17 g/mole = 134 g NH3 needed
