s344n2d4d5 [400]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:Attraction to the positively charged protons in the nucleus

Explanation:

According to the Bohr model. Electrons are held in the atom by electrostatic attraction to a positively charged nucleus. The idea of a positively charged nucleus was first postulated by Rutherford in his nuclear theory of atoms. This attraction was believed to keep the electron in its orbit.

How do intermolecular forces help explain differences in phase changes (boiling point, melting point)
Ivahew [28]
Do you mean differences among various substances eg: H2O vs CO2? IMFs determine boiling and melting points by deciding how strongly molecules want to hold on to each other. The strength of IMFs depend on the type of IMFs, eg: dipole-dipole, ion-dipole, induced dipole (London dispersion), etc. Weak IMFs= low boiling point. IMFs also determine many other properties including vapor pressure, etc.

A 10g sample of Fe reacts with O to form 18.2g of FeO. How many grams of O reacted?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Mass of O = 8.2 gram

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Fe = 10 g

Total volume = 18.2 g

Find:

Mass of O

Computation:

Using Conservation of total mass

Total volume = Mass of O + Mass of Fe

18.2 = Mass of O + 10

Mass of O = 8.2 gram

Which of the following are likely to form a covalent bond?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

• Hydrogen and oxygen atoms  

Explanation:

Hydrogen and oxygen are nonmetals. They are most likely to share electrons and form a covalent bond.

A is wrong. Gold is a metal, so it will form metallic bonds.

O is wrong. Neon is a noble gas. It has a complete octet, so it is unlikely to form covalent bonds.

D is wrong. Mg is a metal, and Br is a nonmetal. They are more likely to form ionic bonds.
