Describe the difference between a ball-and-stick model and a space-filling model of a compound.

1 answer:

4 0

A space-filling model shows the relative amount of space each atom takes up. In other words, a space-filling model can show relative sizes of atoms. However, unlike ball-and-stick or structural models, space-filling models do not show bond lengths clearly. Bonds are not really like sticks in a ball-and-stick model.

Give an example of a time when you would want to increase friction.

Snezhnost [94]

1) you want to increase friction when it gets cold. If you're outside and it's really cold, you're going to rub your hands to warm them up, therefore friction is increasing

I'm not do sure about decreasing.

All factors that cause an increase in the rate of dissolving have what in common?

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

They increase the attractive forces between the solute and solvent particles.

Explanation:

The dissolution of a solute in a solvent depends on interaction between the solute and the solvent. The more the attractive force and interaction between solute and solvent, the greater the greater the rate of dissolution of the solute in the solvent.

The absence of interaction between solute and solvent molecules means that the substance can not dissolve in that particular solvent. Hence, any factor that enhances solute-solvent interaction will enhance dissolution of a solute in a particular solvent.

Which statements describe the law of conservation of charge? Check all that apply.

AlekseyPX

The statements in accordance with the law of conservation of charge are:
A. The total charge of the reactants and products must be equal
B. The net charge of an isolated system remains constant

Both of these statements follow the law of conservation of charge which states that charge may neither be created nor destroyed, due to which the total charge in an isolated system (one in which charge can not move in or out of) remains constant.
