Bromine molecules have covalent bonding. Bromine molecule is stabilized by weak intermolecular forces of attraction such as van der Waals forces of attraction. van der Waals forces are result of creation of instantaneous dipoles caused by the uneven distribution of the electron cloud. The weak intermolecular forces of attraction account for the lower melting point of bromine.

Melting point is dependent on the intermolecular forces which means the bonds between the molecules of bromine as it is a simple molecular structure the intermolecular bonds of bromine are weak bcz they are weak vandervaal forces thats why Bromines melting point is low..In short when intermolecular bomds are weak the M.P is lower

Describe the photoelectric effect and explain why it made modifications to the Rutherford model necessary.

Furkat [3]

<span>Photoelectric effect refer to the emission of electron or free carriers when light shine into a material. According to the Rutherford model, light of any energy should be able to make electrons leave the atom and be emitted. The energy of the emitted electrons should be related to the intensity of the light. But the energy of the electron is actually only related to the energy of the light</span>

A mass of 100.0 g of NaCl is added to 100.0 mL of water, but not all of it dissolves. A mass of 59.5 grams of NaCl solid remains

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The molarity of the dissolved NaCl is 6.93 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of NaCl = 100.0 grams

Volume of water = 100.0 mL = 0.1 L

Remaining mass NaCl = 59.5 grams

Molar mass NaCl= 58.44 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the dissolved mass of NaCl

100 - 59. 5 = 40.5 grams

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles NaCl = 40.5 grams / 58.44 g/mol

Moles NaCl = 0.693 moles

Step 4: Calculate molarity

Molarity = moles / volume

Molarity dissolved NaCl = 0.693 moles / 0.1 L

Molarity dissolved NaCl = 6.93 M

The molarity of the dissolved NaCl is 6.93 M

Which of the following solids would not decompose on heating

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Anhydrous sodium carbonate is stable to heat and does not decompose even when it is heated to redness. This is because sodium carbonate salt on heating with acids react to release carbon dioxide.

According to the combined gas law, the pressure exerted by a gas is:

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer : The correct option is, (d) inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to the kelvin temperature

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

Charles' Law : It is defined as the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

$V\propto T$

Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

$P\propto T$

Combined gas law : It is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{PV}{T}=K$

or,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

From the above information we conclude that the pressure exerted by a gas is inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to the kelvin temperature.

Hence, the correct option is, (d)
