Lerok [7]3 years ago

Iodine is a solid at STP (standard room temperature and pressure) as the intermolecular forces between the iodide compound is strongly held by bonds such as electrostatic forces of attraction if its a ionic compound. Therefore STP is so sufficient enough to breakthrough these bonds hence its a solid. However, chlorine’s a gas as its intermolecular bonds are weak, and STP is strong enough to break these bonds of where chlorine is a gas


NOTE: they should really give you a compound so you can identify between covalent and ionic bonds and talk about it in more depth

viva [34]
Sound energy is produced by vibrating objects.

Example: when you speak you vibrate the air molecules in the air. If you where to speak in space no “sound” would be produced since there is nothing for the vibration of your voice to travel through.

What are some possible ways these rocks were formed? Be sure to discuss all 3 rocks.<br> pls help me
horrorfan [7]

The brownish rock is a sedimentry rock was formed when things like sand, mud, or pebbles get laid down in layers. Eventually the layers are lithified.

The grey rock is a metamorphic rock and was when other rocks are changed because of heat or pressure. Earth movements can cause rocks to be deeply buried or squeezed. As a result, the rocks are heated and put under great pressure. They do not melt, but the minerals they contain are changed chemically, forming metamorphic rocks.

The red dots rock is an igneous rock. Igneous rock forms when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.

What is the bond angle between the hydrogen atoms in an ammonia (NH₃) molecule?
dimulka [17.4K]
There are 4 electron pairs (3 bonding and 1 lone pair) so the angle is 107 degrees. The 4 electron pairs are repelled to give a tetrahedral arrangement but the molecule has a pyrimidal shape due to the lone pair.

Decribe how hydrogen and oxygen form water
rewona [7]

Well, its a very simple process actually. Here is how it works;

When molecular hydrogen, also known as H2, and oxygen, also known as O2, are combined and are able to react together, energy is released and the molecules of the hydrogen and the oxygen. These can combine to form either water or hydrogen peroxide, depending on how the chemicals mix.

I hope I made your day a little easier,

Have a great day and happy Halloween!
