Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author is probably reminding us that knowing the origins of words helps us to remember what they mean.

If "verde" means "green", the "verd" in "verdigris" probably means that verdigris is green.

However, the "verd" in verdigris domes from other languages.

It was originally Latin "viride aeris" (green brass).

In old French it became "verte de Grèce" (green of Greece). The modern French spelling is "vert-de-gris" (green of grey).

The English word "verdigris" comes from the French words.

Use bond energies to calculate δhrxn for the reaction. n2(g)+3cl2(g)→2ncl3(g)
Jobisdone [24]
ΔHrxn = ΣδΗ(bond breaking) - ΣδΗ(bond making)

Bond enthalpies,
N ≡ N ⇒ 945 kJ mol⁻¹
N - Cl ⇒ 192 kJ mol⁻¹
Cl - Cl⇒ 242 kJ mol⁻¹

According to the balanced equation,
ΣδΗ(bond breaking)  = N ≡ N x 1 + Cl - Cl x 3
                                  = 945 + 3(242)
                                  = 1671 kJ mol⁻¹
ΣδΗ(bond making)    = N - Cl x 3 x 2
                                 = 192 x 6
                                 = 1152 kJ mol⁻¹

δHrxn = ΣδΗ(bond breaking) - ΣδΗ(bond making)
          = 1671 kJ mol⁻¹ - 1152 kJ mol⁻¹
          = 519 kJ mol⁻¹

Answer:

Intramolecular forces are the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule. Intermolecular forces are forces that exist between molecules.

Explanation:

Examples: Intermolecular forces are categorized into dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding forces.

Intramolecular forces are categorized into covalent, ionic and metal bonds
