<span> 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.</span>
Answer: The best way to promote the process are:
--> Add a bit of solid as a seed crystal.
--> Scratch the bottom of the flask gently with a stirring rod.
Explanation:
A crystal growth is seen is SUPERSATURATED solutions which contains more solute than it can normally dissolve at that given temperature. It is usually very UNSTABLE and capable of releasing the excess solute if disturbed, either by shaking or seeding with a tiny crystals.
Crystallization can be used for the separation of two salts with different solubilities as well as for purification of a soluble salt that contains insoluble solid impurities. Recrystallization improves the validity of the process. Crystallization can be initiated by:
--> Scratching the bottom of the flask gently with a stirring rod: scratching initiates crystallization by providing energy from the high-frequency vibrations.
--> Adding a bit of solid as a seed crystal: Seed crystals create a nucleation site where crystals can begin growth.
Answer:
go look for that on google
Explanation:
Mercury naturally exists in Liquid state.
On Condensing it can exist in Solid state as well.
Hope it helps...
