How are particles held together in each phase of matter

Chemistry

Ainat [17]3 years ago

Particles in solids are held together very closely.

This makes them very strong and difficult to break apart. Solids can also hold their own shape

The particles don’t move around very much but simply vibrate in their spot.

Particles in liquids are quite close to each other, however they can move past each other very easily.

This makes liquids very easy to break apart and why they cannot hold their own shape, but instead take the shape of their container

The particles in liquids move around quite a bit, bumping gently past each other.

Particles in gases move around very quickly with a lot of space between them, this means you can compress them very easily.

Gases don’t just take the shape of their container they fill the space of the container that they are in

Which process is an oxidation?
Zarrin [17]
<span>The problem has to do with oxidation states of the matter. The oxidation state of oxygen will always be -2 with the exception of peroxides which will have a state of -1. The overall balanced state of chemical compounds will be 0, so the oxidation state of Mn in MnO2 will be +4. The oxidation state of MnO4- will then be +7 to balance out to the negative one charge. The state change from +4 to +7 is 3, thus three electrons have to be lost in order for this to happen; a loss of a charge of -3 results in an increase of charge of 3. Oxidation is always the process of 'losing' electrons.

The ccl4 formed in the first step is used as a reactant in the second step. if 2.00 mol of ch4 reacts, what is the total amount
Leni [432]
<span>CH4 + 4 Cl2 → CCl4 + 4 HCl (4.00 mol CH4) x (1/1) x (0.70) = 2.80 mol CCl4 (4.00 mol CH4) x (4/1) x (0.70) = 11.2 mol HCl CCl4 + 2 HF → CCl2F2 + 2 HCl (2.80 mol CCl4) x (2/1) x (0.70) = 3.92 mol HCl 11.2 mol + 3.92 mol = 15.1 mol HCl from both steps</span>
