Two basic properties of the gas phase are

2 answers:

6 0

The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A.) a definite shape and a definite volume
B.) a definite shape but no definite volume
C.) no definite shape and no definite volume

I believe the correct answer is option C. Two basic properties of the gas phase would be it has no definite shape and no definite volume. It takes the shape and volume of its container. Hope this answers the question.

Answer:

They have a very low density

They fill the container they are in

Explanation:

The first main characteristic is that they have a very low density, which is logical considering that gasses are lighter than the other states of matter (solid and liquid), however some gasses are extremely light, and some very heavy (by the relative measurement of other gasses). For example Helium is lighter than Nitrogen, so therefore we will breathe in more nitrogen than helium.

The majority of gasses are restricted to the "container" of our atmosphere, which explains why gasses never stay still, they are all trying to spread out evenly around the planet.

How do atoms form new substances?

geniusboy [140]

Atoms combine as the electrons from each atom are attracted to the nuclei of the atoms. This results in bonds ranging from 100% covalent to bonds with high ionic character. The combination of atoms to form compounds occurs when the compounds being formed are at lower energy than the original atoms

How reactive is an atom of Sodium(Na) and why?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

3rd one:
it is very reactive because it does not have a full Valence shell.

this is because it's in group 1 so it has one electron in its outer shell, and it wants to have a full outer shell ( which it can gain by losing the electron in a reaction).

Hope this helps :)

Write the isotopic symbol for the following (show your work) a) An isotope of iodine whose atoms have 78 neutrons b) An isotope

morpeh [17]

Answer:

For a: The isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b: The isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c: The isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

Explanation:

The isotopic representation of an atom is: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

For a:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 78

Atomic number of iodine = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 53 + 78 = 131

Thus, the isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 82

Atomic number of cesium = 55 = Number of protons

Mass number = 55 + 82 = 137

Thus, the isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 52

Atomic number of strontium = 38 = Number of protons

Mass number = 38 + 52 = 90

Thus, the isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$
