Answer:

Gaseous phase exert more pressure on container.

Explanation:

Pressure:

It is the force exerted by the substance on its container.

Mathematical expression:

P = F/A

P = pressure

F = force

A = area

We know that there are phases of matter solid liquid and gas.

Gases don't have definite volume and shape and take the shape and volume of container in which it present.  Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space.  The molecules of gas randomly move collide with each other and also the wall of container their kinetic energy also increased because of this collision and pressure is produced

While in case of liquid molecules are packed and they can not move freely thus did not exert pressure like gaseous molecules.

In case of solids molecules are tightly packed and form more compact structure. They can not move thus did not exert pressure to the wall of container.

Properties of gases:

Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space.

Gases don't have definite volume and shape and take the shape and volume of container in which it present.

Their densities are very low as compared to the liquid and solids.

Gas molecules are at long distance from each other therefore by applying pressure gases can be compressed.

The very weak inter molecular forces are present between gas molecules.

Properties of Liquid:

Liquid have definite volume but don,t have definite shape.

Their densities are high as compared to the gases but low as compared to the solids.

In liquid, molecules are close to each other and have greater inter molecular forces as compared to the gas molecules.

Properties of solids:

Solids have definite volume and shape.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.

Their melting and boiling point are every high.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.

When ice melts, what happens to the water molecules?
Naddik [55]

Not much.

Ice is only water, when the molecules are submitted to low temeperatures and have formed a crystalline arrangement of low density. In ice, the molecules arange themselves in hexagons with hydrogen bonds binfing each molecule.

When ice melts it turnes into water and the molecules leave the crystalline shape and come back to their normal density. In water, not all molecules are binded forming short and irregular lines.

→ In the image below, you can see the arrangement of ice and water.

Ultraviolet radiation and radiation of shorter wavelengths can damage biological molecules because they carry enough energy to b
Alja [10]

Answer:

439.7nm

Explanation:

Energy of a quantum can be calculated using below formula

E=hv...........eqn(1)

But v=λ/ c .........eqn(2)

If we substitute eqn(2) into eqn(1) we have

E= hc/(λ)

Where E= energy

h= Plank's constant= 6.62607004 × 10-34 m2 kg / s

c= speed of light

c= 2.998 × 10^8 m/s

λ= wavelength= ?

But the energy was given in Kj , it must be converted to Kj/ photon for unit consistency.

Energy E= 272 kJ/mol × 1mol/6.02× 10^23

Energy= 451.83× 10^-24 Kj/ photon

E= hc/(λ)...........eqn(1)

If we make λ subject of the formula

λ= hc/E

Then substitute the values we have

λ= [(6.626 × 10^-34) × (2.998 × 10^8)]/451.83× 10^-24

λ=(0.00043965) × (1Kj/1000J) × (10^9nm/1m)

λ=439.7nm

Hence, the longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break carbon-sulfur bonds is 439.7nm

From the given elements Na, P , Ca ,Br which one has highest first ionization energy , ,smallest atomic size , most metallic cha
madam [21]

Answer:

highest first ionization energy - Br

smallest atomic size - Br

most metallic character - Na

Explanation:

Ionization energy of Br is higher than P because higher zeff value

Sodium is more metallic than calcium because it is able to loose electron more readily as compared to calcium because of higher electro positivity.

Atomic radius of Br is the smallest as its atomic radius is 114, P (115), Ca (197), Na (186)
