False, 0 degrees on the K scale is absolute zero.
Answer:
C. The energy released as the bonds in the reactants are broken is greater than the energy absorbed as the bonds in the product are formed.
Explanation:
As ΔH is negative, the given reaction is exothermic.
That means that <em>the enthalpy of the product is less than the enthalpy of the reactants</em>. In other words, part of the energy from the reactants is used to form new bonds (between C and H, for example), while the other part is transfered outside the system as heat.
Thus the correct answer is C.
Explanation:
- An ionic compound is defined as the compound formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
For example, lithium atom on donating its one valence electron to chlorine atom will result in the formation of an ionic bond and the compound formed is LiCl.
- A molecule is defined as a substance which can contain either same or different elements.
For example,
,
etc are molecules.
- A molecule can contain either a covalent or ionic bond. But an ionic compound will always contain an ionic bond.
