How does waters polarity contribute to the fact that water expands when it freezes ?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
NikAS [45]3 years ago

The orderly, crystalline way in which the hydrogen-bonds form causes density to decrease because each water molecule is held away from its neighbors at a distance equal to the length of the hydrogen bonds. thus water expands as it freezes, and ice floats atop water.

 how are subscripts determine the formula of ionic and covalent compounds ?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

To determine the correct subscripts in a chemical formula, you have to solve how many atoms you need to balance the charge.

For example if I had the compound Calcium Fluoride I would look at the periodic table and see that Calcium's ionic formula is

Ca2+

. How do I know this? Well all elements want to have 8 valance electrons so they can be stable(happy). Seeing that Calcium has 2 valance electrons it is going to give away 2 electrons because that is easier than gaining 6 to be happy. Since Calcium has given away 2 electrons it has two more protons than electrons. We know that Protons have a Positive charge, Electrons have Negative charge, and the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number of an element in its pure non-ionic state. (Meaning it doesn't have a positive or negative charge; it is balanced.)

So if calcium gave away two electrons, it will have two more protons than an electron giving it a (2+) charge. The same process can be applied to Fluoride. Since fluoride is one to the left of the noble gases(group 18 or 8A) on the periodic table we know that it has 7 valance electrons because it is in group 7A or 17.

Knowing that we have 7 electrons the fluoride atom will gain an extra electron. Since the fluoride atom gained an extra electron it will have one more negative charge than a positive making it a ^(−)ion.

So you know that Calcium has a 2+ charge and that fluoride has a 1- charge, you then need these ions to balance out. So you need two fluorine atoms with a 1- ions to balance out the 2+ ion of calcium. Your final answer would be

CaF2

because you need two fluorine atoms to balance out the 2+ charge of the calcium.

Final Tip: Determine the charges then inverse the charges, remove the positive and negative superscipts, and write the charge numbers as a sub script. Ie. Calcium Fluoride

Ca2+ and F−

inversing and removing the charge signs would give you

Método científico: El trabajo científico se caracteriza por ser planificado, con objetivos iniciales y que habitualmente se dan
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Ver explicación

Explanation:

El método científico se refiere al patrón establecido de resolución de un problema científico. Los siguientes son pasos importantes en el método científico;

Haz una observación.

formular preguntas relevantes.

elabore una hipótesis que pueda ser probada.

Diseña un experimento.

Prueba la hipótesis usando tu diseño experimental.

Teniendo en cuenta ambos escenarios, el último caso en el que estudiantes de diferentes capacidades trabajan juntos para resolver un problema refleja mejor el método científico porque pueden hacerse preguntas entre sí y llegar a hipótesis comprobables que pueden demostrarse como verdaderas o falsas mediante experimentos.

Which element in Group 17 is the most active nonmetal? (1) Br (2) I (3) Cl (4) F
Maksim231197 [3]

The element of the group 17 that is most active non metal is fluorine.

The group 17 of the periodic table contains bromine(Br), iodine(I), Chlorine(Cl) and fluorine(F).

Among all the elements of the group 17. Fluorine is the smallest in size.

Because of the small size of fluorine it has the highest electronegativity in group 17.

This high electronegativity makes it a very active non metal. It provides a very high oxidizing power and low dissociation energy to the fluorine atom.

Also because of the very small size the source of attraction between the nucleus and the electrons is very high in floor in atom.

It reacts readily to form oxides and hydroxides.

So, we can conclude here that fluorine is the most active non metal of group 17.

A 2.500g sample of compound containing only Carbon and Hydrogen is found containing 2.002g of Carbon. Determine the empirical fo
Dima020 [189]

The empirical formula : CH₃

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

2.5 g sample

2.002 g Carbon

Required

The empirical formula

Solution

Mass of Hydrogen :

= 2.5 - 2.002

= 0.498

Mol ratio C : H :

C : 2.002/12 = 0.167

H : 0.498/1 = 0.498

Divide by 0.167 :

C : H = 1 : 3

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Filtration

Explanation:

Filtration would be best because the sand particles would be trapped in the filter paper and the water would go through so the mixture would be separated
