Answer:

Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Neither helium nor carbon dioxide has a molecular dipole, so their strongest van der Waals attractive forces are London forces.

Helium is a small spherical atom with only a two electrons, so its atoms have quite weak attractions to each other.

CO₂ is a large linear molecule. It has more electrons than helium, so the attractive forces are greater. Furthermore, the molecules can align themselves compactly side-by-side and maximize the attractions (see below).

For example. CO₂ becomes a solid at -78 °C, but helium must be cooled to -272 °C to make it freeze (that's just 1 °C above absolute zero).

explain the law of conservative of energy, give a specific example using kinetic and potential energy that shows how energy is c

KiRa [710]

Answer:

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. In other words, the total energy of a system remains constant. This is an important concept to remember when dealing with energy problems. The two basic forms of energy that we will focus on are kinetic energy and potential energy.

Explanation:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.

How would you know if this combination is likely to be found in dirt? Please explain!

Elan Coil [88]

No it is not likely. That is a ratio of 10:4 N^14 and N^15 which doesn’t work. It needs a higher amount
