White phosphorus melts and then vaporizes at high temperatures. The gas effuses at a rate that is 0.404 times that of neon in the same apparatus under the same conditions-There are 4 atoms of P in the molecule
Explanation:
Ar=30,97g/mol
/
=
=0,404
0,404=
=20,18/30,97*x
X=20,18/30,97*0,163
X=4
There are 4 atoms of P in the molecule

3. Heat can be thought of as the movement of particles (molecules etc). The faster they move the hotter things are. Energy of movement is called kinetic energy. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles, while thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles.
Explanation:
Strength of intermolecular forces depends on the number of carbon atoms present in a compound. More is the number of carbon atoms attached linearly to each other more will be the surface area occupied by it. Hence, more is the strength of the compound.
This means that more is the branching present in a compound or lesser is the number of carbon atoms present in it then less will be the strength of intermolecular forces in the compound.
Thus, we can conclude that given compounds are placed in order of decreasing strength of intermolecular forces as follows.
