7 0

Buckyball or buckminster fullerene is the third allotrope of carbon. It contains 60 carbons which are arranged in the five and six membered rings. Buckyball is the cluster of carbon atoms which are arranged in spherical shape and it forms a hollow cage.

The physical properties are:

Buckyball is made up of huge number of molecules but giant covalent bond is not exist.

The forces between the individual buckyballs are weak intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs has low melting point in comparison to other allotropes of carbon as low energy is required to overcome theses intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs is slippery in nature.

The solutions of buckminster fullerene are deep purple in color and upon evaporation brown residue is obtained.

Buckyball is soft in comparison to graphite and when it is compressed to less than 70 percent of its volume then, it converts into superhard form of diamond.

In beta decay, a neutron is transformed into a proton via emission of an electron. This means that the total nucleon number remains the same; however, the proton number is increased by one (and the neutron number decreases by one). Therefore, the parent atom must also have mass number 99 but be of one less atomic number.
The atomic number of Tc is 43 and proton number 42 is Mo. Therefore, the answer is:
99Mo

Place the following substances in order of increasing vapor pressure at a given temperature. SF6 SiH4 SF4

Dvinal [7]

<u>Substances in order of increasing vapor pressure at a given temperature is </u><u>SF4 < SF6 < SiH4</u>

The substance with the lowest vapor pressure will also have the greatest boiling point.
A liquid attribute associated with evaporation is vapor pressure.
The distribution of kinetic energy among the molecules in a liquid (or any substance) is influenced by the system's temperature.

<h3>How do you determine vapor pressure?</h3>

Vapor pressure in chemistry is the force that an evaporating substance exerts against the walls of a sealed container (converts to a gas).
Use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to determine the vapor pressure at a specific temperature: ln(P1/P2) = (Hvap/R)((1/T2) - (1/T1)

Which has highest vapor pressure?

At the normal boiling point of a liquid, the vapor pressure is equal to the standard atmospheric pressure defined as 1 atmosphere, 760 Torr, 101.325 kPa, or 14.69595 psi.
