Because gravity treats all mass equally. It doesn't treat heavier objects with greater force. All objects experience the gravitational pull equally. Making the two different weights reach the ground together simultaneously despite their weight differences.

Which of the following statements best explains the observation that hydrogen fluoride has the highest boiling point of all the
olasank [31]

Answer:

c. HF can participate in hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

<u>The boiling points of substances  often reflect the strength of the </u><u>intermolecular forces</u><u> operating among the molecules.</u>

If it takes more energy to  separate molecules of HF than of the rest of the hydrogen halides because HF molecules are held  together by stronger intermolecular forces, then the boiling point of HF will be higher than  that of all the hydrogen halides.

A particularly strong  type of intermolecular attraction is called the hydrogen bond, <em>which is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction between the hydrogen atom in a polar bond</em>, such as N-H, O-H, or F-H, and an electronegative O, N, or F atom.

The two naturally occuring isotopes of antimony are 121Sb (57.21%) and 123Sb (42.79%), with isotopic masses of 120.904 and 122.9
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The average atomic weight = 121.7598 amu

Explanation:

The average atomic weight of natural occurring antimony can be calculated as follows :

To calculate the average atomic mass the percentage abundance must be converted to decimal.

121 Sb has a percentage abundance of 57.21%, the decimal format will be

57.21/100 = 0.5721 . The value is the fractional abundance of 121 Sb .

123 Sb has a percentage abundance of 42.79%, the decimal format will be

42.79/100 = 0.4279. The value is the fractional abundance of 123 Sb .

Next step is multiplying the fractional abundance to it masses

121 Sb = 0.5721 × 120.904 = 69.169178400

123 Sb = 0.4279 × 122.904 = 52.590621600

The final step is adding the value to get the average atomic weight.

69.169178400 + 52.590621600 = 121.7598 amu

Pick one option:
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Li⁺

Explanation:

Li⁺ ions has a noble gas electron configuration because it resembles that of He.

To have a noble configuration, electrons in the outermost shell must completely fill their respective orbitals.

Li⁺ is an ion that has lost one electron from the usual number of 3 thereby remaining 2 electrons.

 The electronic configuration is given as;

         Li⁺       1s²

The S orbital can hold a maximum number of just two electrons.

     Helium atom has two electrons with electronic configuration of  1s²

Therefore      Li⁺   =    1s²    =    He
