Explain how the structure and bonding in bromine account for it's relatively low melting point. [3]

2 answers:

7 0

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

Do all substances dissolve in water? Kids explore the varying levels of solubility of common household substances in this fun-filled experiment!

Materials Needed:
4 clear, glass jars filled with plain tap water
Flour
Salt
Talcum or baby powder
Granulated sugar
Stirrer
Step 1: Help your child form a big question before starting the experiment.

Step 2: Make a hypothesis for each substance. Perhaps the salt will dissolve because your child has watched you dissolve salt or sugar in water when cooking. Maybe the baby powder will not dissolve because of its powdery texture. Help your child write down his or her predictions.

Step 3: Scoop a teaspoon of each substance in the jars, only adding one substance per jar. Stir it up!

Step 4: Observe whether or not each substance dissolves and record the findings!

Your child will likely note that that sugar and salt dissolve, while the flour will partially dissolve, and the baby powder will remain intact. The grainy crystals of the sugar and salt are easily dissolved in water, but the dry, powdery substances are likely to clump up or remain at the bottom of the jar.

As you can see, the scientific method is easy to work into your child’s scientific experiments. Not only does it increase your child’s scientific learning and critical thinking skills, but it sparks curiosity and motivates kids as they learn to ask questions and prove their ideas! Get started today with the above ideas, and bring the scientific method home to your child during your next exciting science experiment

Aqueous acetic acid is neutralized by aqueous barium hydroxide. express your answer as a balanced molecular equation. identify a

Studentka2010 [4]

The balanced molecular equation for the given reaction is:

$2CH_3COOH(aq) \ + \ Ba(OH)_2(aq) \rightarrow \ Ba(CH_3COO)_2(aq) + 2H_2O(l).$

<h3>FURTHER EXPLANATION</h3>

To check that the equation is balanced count how many atoms are present for each element in the reactant and product side. If they are the same before and after reaction for all elements, then the reaction is deemed balanced.

The atom counting for the equation is shown below:

$2CH_3COOH(aq) \ + \ Ba(OH)_2(aq) \rightarrow \ Ba(CH_3COO)_2(aq) + 2H_2O(l).$

<u>Reactants </u> → <u>Products</u>

C: (2 x 2) =4 C: (2 x 2) = 4

H: (2 x 4) + (1 x 2) =10 H: (3 x 2) + (2 X 2) = 10

O: (2 x 2) + (1 x 2) = 6 O: (2 x 2) + (2 x 1) = 6

Ba: 1 Ba: 1

Since the number of atoms of each element are similar in the reactants and products, the equation is balanced.

To determine the state of the substances, consider their solubility.

The reactants are both aqueous (aq) as indicated in the problem.

The first product, $Ba(CH_3COO)_2$ is aqueous (aq) because based on the solubility rule, it will dissolve in water. Acetates are generally soluble.

The other product is water which will be liquid (l) since it is the solvent used to dissolve the substances.

Compare the ability to hold on to / attract electrons between metals and nonmetals.

skad [1K]

Nonmetals have the ability to attract electrons better than metals because they have a higher electron affinity or electronegativity than metals.

<h3>What is electronegativity?</h3>

Electronegativity is the tendency, or a measure of the ability, of an atom or molecule to attract electrons and thus form bonds.

An element in the periodic table with a high electronegativity will automatically have a high electron affinity.

Metals (low electronegativity) are known to lose electrons to non-metals (high electronegativity), hence, nonmetals have the ability to attract electrons better than metals because they have a higher electron affinity or electronegativity than metals.
