<h2>Answer:</h2>

The substance with high electronegativity difference have high melting point.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Electronegativity:

It is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

Higher the electronegativity higher the potential to attract electron pair.
So element with high electronegativity difference in elements tend to acquire the partial ions, attracting each other strongly.
Hence more strong bonds substances would have highest melting points.

Electronegativity is the ability of an element to attract electrons towards itself during bonding. Compounds with a metal and nonmetal that have a great electronegativity difference would result to a much stronger intermolecular force. Its effect on the melting point is to increase it further because it takes greater energy to break these bonds. <em>So, the higher the electronegativity difference, the higher the melting point.</em>

For the reaction H₂O(g) + Cl₂O(g) → 2HClO(g), you know ΔS°rxn and S° of HClO(g) and of H₂O(g). Write an expression that can be u

expeople1 [14]

The expression for S°(Cl2O)(g) is given by ,

S°(Cl2O)(g) = 2×S°(HClO)(g) - S°(H2O)(g) - ΔS°rxn

Given ,

The balanced chemical equation is ,

H2O (g) + Cl2O (g) → 2HClO (g)

The general standard entropy of the reaction is given by ,

ΔS°rxn = sum of the S°(Product ) - sum of the S°(reactants )

ΔS°rxn = ΣmS°products - ΣnS°reactants

where , m and n are the stoichiometry coefficients of each product and reactants .

Thus , the standard entropy of the given reaction is given by ,

ΔS°rxn = 2×S° (HClO)(g) - [ S°(H2O)(g) + S°(Cl2O)(g) ]

ΔS°rxn = 2×S° (HClO)(g) - S°(H2O)(g) - S°(Cl2O)(g)

Thus the S°(Cl2O) is given by ,

S°(Cl2O)(g) = 2×S°(HClO)(g) - S°(H2O)(g) - ΔS°rxn

Hence the expression for the standard entropy of Cl2O (g) is given by ,

S°(Cl2O)(g) = 2×S°(HClO)(g) - S°(H2O)(g) - ΔS°rxn

<h3>What is a balance chemical reaction ?</h3>

A balanced chemical reaction is a type of reaction which include the reactants and products in same amount i.e. the no of mole on both side of the reaction is remains same or balanced .

The radius of an atom is closest in size to a

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The size of an isolated atom can't be measured because we can't determine the location of the electrons that surround the nucleus. We can estimate the size of an atom, however, by assuming that the radius of an atom is half the distance between adjacent atoms in a solid. This technique is best suited to elements that are metals, which form solids composed of extended planes of atoms of that element. The results of these measurements are therefore often known as metallic radii.
