Answer:

The answer to your question is: They are stronger than those in water.

Explanation:

When a substance is heated, heat is breaking forces among molecules like hydrogen bonds, london forces, van der waals forces, etc, if a substance has a lot of these forces, the boiling point will be higher because more forces must be broken.Then, glycerol must have stronger forces than those of water.

Answer:

The correct answer is: <u><em>"They are stronger than those in water."</em></u>

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces are those that hold the molecules together. Depending on the magnitude of these forces it will cost more or less to separate the molecules. That is what happens with the boiling point. The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid leaves its state and enters the gaseous state (vapor). Then the intermolecular forces, which are greater in a liquid state with respect to the gaseous state, have to be broken so that the change of state can occur. The higher the intermolecular forces present in the liquid, the boiling point will be higher.

So, since glycerol has a boiling point higher than water, it indicates that the intermolecular forces will be greater, since it takes more temperature and energy to break the force that bonds the molecules.

So <u><em>the correct answer is: "They are stronger than those in water."</em></u>

Atoms in covalent bonds do combine so as to be stable. As covalent bond consist non metals e.g O2 in this example each atom has vacance of 2 orbitals/ electrons so shairing electrons result their stability

Sugar dissolves readily in water because it is a(n) ____ substance.
Mnenie [13.5K]
The answer to this question would be D. Hydrophilic.

The word hydrophilic mean attracted by water. That means the molecule has a force to attract water molecule, thus be able to dissolve in water.  The polarity of the molecule would determine whether a molecule hydrophilic or not.
Its opposite would be hydrophobic which the molecule can't dissolve in water.  One example of this would be oil or fat. That is why sometimes it is called lipophilic too.

Covert 1.57 x 10^14 nm= ___m
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

1.57 x 10⁷m

Explanation:

Given quantity is;

          1.57 x 10¹⁴nm

Now;

            1 nm  = 10⁻⁹

So, let us convert this given quantity;

         1 nm          =             10⁻⁹

  1.57 x 10¹⁴nm  will give 1.57 x 10¹⁴ x 10⁻⁹  = 1.57 x 10⁷m
