The protons inside an atoms nucleus help bind the nucleus together. They also attract the negatively charged electons
Answer:
Mercury
Explanation:
Mercury is a liquid element that contains 80 electrons when not charged.
Answer:
(a) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OH
(b) CH₃OH
(c) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OH
Explanation:
In alcohols, the -OH group is responsible for the polarity. The longer the non-polar hydrocarbon chain, the less polar is the compound.
Regarding solubility, we will consider the general rule "like dissolves like", meaning polar is soluble in polar and non-polar is soluble in non-polar.
(a) I₂ is non-polar, so it will be more soluble in the least polar solvent, which is pentanol (CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OH).
(b) NaCl is an ionic compound, that is, there is a big difference in electronegativity between the atoms. Then, it will be soluble in the most polar alcohol, methanol (CH₃OH).
(c) Pentane (CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃) is non-polar, so it will be more soluble in the least polar solvent, which is pentanol (CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OH).
