F = GMm/r²

<span>The relationship between F and r is an inverse one. So if the distance r decreases, to 1/4 the original distance:

Let  F </span>α 1/r²

F = k/r²

or    F₂ / F₁ = (r₁ / r₂)²

If r is decreased to 1/4,  

F₂ / F₁ <span>= (r₁ / r₂)²
</span>
F₂ / F₁ = (r₁ / (1/4r₁)<span> )²
</span>
F₂ / F₁ <span>= (4)²
</span>
F₂ / F₁ <span>= 16
</span>
F₂ <span>= 16F</span>₁

The new force of attraction would be 16 times the former value.

Does the lattice energy of an ionic solid increase or decrease as the charges or sizes of the ions increase?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lattice energy is the energy required to separate one mole of an ionic solid compound into its components gaseous cations and anions.

Due to increase in size of the ions, the lattice energy decreases while the lattice energy increases as the charge of the ions increases.

When the size increase, the distance between the nuclei also increase leading a decrease the force of attraction between the nuclei

Glass has a hardness that is in the middle of the hardness scale. What is the hardness of Glass?
sweet [91]

Answer: 5.5

Explanation:

Let's start by explaining that hardness is a property that materials have related to the opposition or resistance they offer to alterations such as penetration, abrasion, scratching, cutting, and permanent deformations, among others.

In this context, several hardness scales have been developed to catalog the materials (specifically minerals), being the Mohs scale  the best known. This scale, proposed by the German geologist Friedrich Mohs in 1825, consists of a ratio of ten minerals numbered in increasing order by hardness, from least to greatest.

This is how the scale starts at 1 with the talc (considered the softest material) and ends at 10 with the diamond as the hardest.

Now, if we are told that the glass is in the middle of the hardness scale that goes from 1 to 10, logically its value will be 5 (volcanic glass). However, according to the scale, the glass is at 5.5.
