Why are gases compressible

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
7 0

Hi my dear friend,

The atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid or liquid are very close together. There is no space between the individual particles, so they cannot pack together. ... Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

~Thank you

Rutherford's models

<h2>Explanations:</h2><h2>What is the electron cloud model?</h2>

There are known as the region where electrons are found especially in the nucleus.

According to the five basic atomic models which have contributed to the structure of the atom itself, the Rutherford's models of the atom include a structure that is mostly made of empty space compared to thomson that proposed the plum pudding model of the atom

Why was the term inert gases dropped? Why was the term inert gases dropped? The term "inert" was dropped because hydrogen was ad
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

B) The term "inert" was dropped because it no longer described all the group 8A elements.

Explanation:

Inert elements in chemistry simply refers to elements that are chemically inactive and are not expected to form any compounds. this is the general belief for the group 8 elements as they all have complete duplet/octet configurations (and ideally, they ought to be very stable with no tendency to form compounds by participating in the loss and gain of electrons). However the discovery of compounds like xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) proved this to be wrong.

Again, the reason the term - inert gses was droppedis beacause this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions.

After dropping the term - Inert gases, they are now referred to as noble gases.
