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

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

Cellular respiration can be thought of as the opposite of photosynthesis. In cellular respiration oxygen is turned into carbon dioxide while in photosynthesis carbon dioxide is tuned to oxygen.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

Given: the melting point of HCl is

-114.8 °C, which suggests that below this temperature HCl will be solid.

and, since the boiling point of HCl is - 85.1 °C. It is also suggested that above this temperature HCl will be gas, Therefore.

Solid -114.8 - Ordered arrangement

Liquid -85.1c - Less orderly arranged

Gaseous - Least orderly arranged

Thus, at —90 °C, HCl will be present 'in the liquid state, At — 1 °C, HCl will be present in the gaseous state and at -129 °C, HCl will be present in the solid-state. So, the molecules will be organized in a more orderly manner .

Thus, the correct answer is - option C

Select the correct answer. Two charged objects, A and B, exert an electric force on each other. What happens if the distance bet

VikaD [51]

Answer:

The electric force between them decreases

Explanation:

The force between two charged particle is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

Where

r is the distance between charges

If the distance between the charges is increased, the electric force gets decreased as there is an inverse relation between force and distance.

Hence, the correct option is (c) "The electric force between them decreases"
