Which of the following statements is not correct?

1 answer:

Answer: This option is incorrect: <span>B. Covalent compounds are held together by much stronger interparticle forces than are ionic compounds.

Justification:

Ionic bonds, held by ionic compounds, are much stronger than covalent bonds, held by covalent compounds.

In ionic bonds one element yields one or more electrons forming a cation (a positively charged ion) and the other element accepts the electrons forming an anion (a negatively charged ion).

The anion and the cation are electrostatically atracted by each other. This electrostatic atraction force, named ionic bond, is very strong.

As result of this, the ionic compounds form strong crystals with high boiling and fusion points. A good example of this the sodium chloride, formed by the union of cation Na(+) and anion Cl(-).

The covalent bonds are result of sharing electrons and do not form ions. This bond is weaker than the ionic bond.

10. (2 points) What is the process by which a solute forms a solution in a solvent. A) calisthenics B) bumping C) dissolution D)

Triss [41]

Answer: (C) Dissolution is the process by which a solute form a solution in a solvent.

Explanation: Dissolution can be described as the process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent to give a solvent.

The solute may be a solid, liquid or gas and solvent is usually a liquid but can also be liquid, gas or supercritical fluid. The most common solvent is water and it is referred to as the universal solvent.

Example are:

1.Stirring of sugar in water.

In this case the solute is the sugar and the solvent is water.

2.Organic substances dissolves readily in solvent like kerosene and benzene and they are known as non-polar solvent while the organic substances are the solute

How did Thomson discover the electron?

Hoochie [10]

J. J. Thomson discovered electron by performing an experiment using cathode ray tubes. High voltage across is applied across two electrodes at that causes a beam of particles to flow from the the negatively-charged electrode that is cathode to the positively-charged electrode that is anode. Properties of the particles, are tested using two oppositely-charged electric plates around the cathode ray. The cathode ray was deflected away from the negatively-charged electric plate and towards the positively-charged plate. This indicated that the cathode ray was composed of negatively-charged particles. And these negatively charged particles are called electrons.

What is an acid and what is a base

Mice21 [21]

Answer: The current common definition of an acid and a base is based upon how the substance releases or attracts hydrogen ions (H+). Acids release H+ ions that can turn neutral molecules into positively charged ions, while bases can attract H+ ions from neutral molecules to produce negatively charged ions.

What does it mean when a wave's amplitude increases?

djverab [1.8K]

Answer: It's frequency also increases.

Explanation:

The sound is perceived as louder if the amplitude increases, and softer if the amplitude decreases. ... The amplitude of a wave is related to the amount of energy it carries. A high amplitude wave carries a large amount of energy; a low amplitude wave carries a small amount of energy.
