<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>

Colligative property definition chemistry
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: Colligative properties are those properties of solutions that are dependent on the concentration of the solutes in the solution.

Colligative properties has to do with solutions, that is, solutes that are dissolved in solvents. Examples of colligative properties are: freezing point depression, vapour pressure lowering, boiling point elevation and osmotic pressure. Colligative properties do not depend on the identity of the solutes, this implies that the effect of colligative properties are uniform across all solutions. For example, the freezing point depression of any solution will depend on the concentration of solutes that are dissolve in solution.

Although si is an insulator then how does it behave as semiconductor upon heating
soldier1979 [14.2K]
A semiconductor's resistivity decreases with the increase in temperature.
More is the heat imparted to  it, it will behave more as an insulator.

What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 4.50×10−3 g of methane?
ivanzaharov [21]

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

From the equation, we know that methane and carbon dioxide have the same number of moles.

no. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

no. of moles of CO₂ produced = no. of moles of methane

= 4.5 × 10⁻³ ÷ (12 + 1×4)

= 2.8125 × 10⁻⁴

∴ mass of CO₂ = 2.8125 × 10⁻⁴ × (12 + 16×2)

= 12.375 × 10⁻³ g
