Why Mike the helium balloons float while the others rest on the table

Chemistry
1 answer:
svetlana [45]3 years ago
4 0

Helium is a chemical element of the atomic number 2, an inert gas that is the lightest member of the noble gas series.


These means, Helium is lighter than air, and for this is why all other balloons may not float.


The helium balloon displaces an amount of air (Just like an empty water bottle displaces an amount of water). As long as the weight of the helium plus the balloon fabric is lighter than the air displaces, the balloon will float in the air.

Do all substances absorb heat the same way?
miv72 [106K]

Since particles are closer together, solids conduct heat better than liquids or gases. Conduction moves heat through a material. It keeps a fire going by spreading the heat through solid material. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not require particles to carry the heat energy.

How the molecule’s properties affect the physical properties of a molecule
Lilit [14]

The intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonds or van der Waals attractions, which draw one molecule to its neighbors, govern a substance's physical properties. Due to the relatively weak intermolecular forces of attraction, molecular substances typically take the form of gases, liquids, or low melting point solids.

<h3>How do the intermolecular forces affect physical properties?</h3>

The forces that bind two molecules together are known as intermolecular forces. Intermolecular forces have an impact on physical properties. Strong and weak forces both exist; the stronger the force, the more energy is needed to separate the molecules from one another. As intermolecular forces increase melting, boiling, and freezing points rise.

The following intermolecular forces are listed in order of strength:

  • Van der Waals dispersion forces
  • Van der Waals dipole-dipole interactions
  • Hydrogen bonding
  • Ionic bonds

It would take very little energy to separate two molecules if they are connected by van der Waals dispersion forces. On the other hand, it requires a lot more energy to separate two molecules that are joined together by ionic bonds.
