Nonane (b) has the highest melting point.
-----------------------------
A caveat: I'm assuming that we're dealing with the straight-chain isomers of these alkanes (specifically pentane and nonane). The straight-chain isomer of pentane (<em>n</em>-pentane, CH3-[CH2]3-CH3) has a melting point of -129.8 °C; the straight-chain isomer of nonane (<em>n-</em>nonane, CH3-[CH2]7-CH3) has a melting point of -53.5 °C. The pattern holds as you go down (or up): The more carbon atoms, the higher the melting point. So, in decreasing order of melting points here, you'd have the following: nonane > pentane > butane > ethane.
However, one structural isomer of pentane, neopentane, has a melting point of -16.4 °C, which is <em>higher </em>that the melting point of <em>n</em>-nonane despite neopentane having the same molecular formula as its straight-chain isomer. Of course, you're not to blame for coming up with this question; this is just some extra info to keep in mind.
<span>The Atomic Model was something that was first developed by Neils Bohr. Several years later, Schrodinger took Bohr's basis of a theory and developed it into something larger. So as we can see, theories are a bit like puzzles. When first starting out, one person develops something, or has an idea on something. Others trying to either prove or disprove the original findings, will then test things in a new way, revealing more and more of the puzzle. As the puzzle becomes more and more clear, there is more and more that is revealed. Eventually, we get to a point where we have almost the entire picture, however we are still missing a few key pieces that complete the puzzle. We can see the big picture, but you can not exactly prove out what exactly the details are. This is how scientists such as Bohr and Schrodinger use each others research to build and refine theories. Eventually, we reach a point where we are only missing maybe one or two pieces, and at that point, a theory transitions into almost fact, such as evolution.</span>
The answer is D :) have a nice day!
Answer:
atoms of different elements combine and form new elements
Answer:
3.60X10^-12 is equal to 0.360X10^-11 (move decimal one place left)
Now you can add 3.60X10^-11 and 0.360X10^-11:
3.60X10^-11 + 0.360X10^-11 = 3.96X10^-11
You're really just adding 3.60 to 0.36 since the "X10^-11" is the same for both.
