All of the statements describe hydrogen bonds EXCEPT: a. Hydrogen bonds account for the anomalously high boiling point of water.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The correct option is e

Explanation:

Hydrogen bond is an intermolecular interaction/bonding that are formed between an electronegative atom (such as nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine) and a hydrogen atom. They are weak intermolecular bonds compared to covalent bonds but account for the high boiling point of water because of the strong hydrogen bond presence between the water molecules. Water molecules form hydrogen bonds between each other; since an oxygen atom (in a water molecule) has two lone pairs on it's outermost shell, it forms an hydrogen bond with two hydrogen atoms of other water molecule. Due to the fluidity of liquid water molecules, hydrogen bonds keep getting broken (although recreated/formed almost immediately), hence, individual hydrogen bonds in liquid water does not exist for long.

In the explanation above, it was stated that the strength of the hydrogen bond in water is the reason for it's high boiling point. The atoms in a water molecule are bent NOT linear hence the strength of hydrogen bond does not depend on the linearity of the atoms involved in the bond.

A student is determining the density of an unknown metal with a mass of 32.56 g. The student partially fills a graduated cylinde

xenn [34]

Answer:

The metal is Tin (Sn)

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of metal = 32.56 g

Volume of water = 14.78 mL

Volume of water + metal = 20.44 mL

Next, we shall determine the volume of the metal. This is illustrated below:

Volume of water = 14.78 mL

Volume of water + metal = 20.44 mL

Volume of metal =..?

Volume of metal = (Volume of water + metal) – (Volume of water )

Volume of metal = 20.44 – 14.78

Volume of metal = 5.66mL

Next, we shall determine the density of the metal.

Density of a substance is defined as the mass of the substance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, the density of a substance is expressed as:

Density = Mass / volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the density of the metal as follow:

Mass of metal = 32.56 g

Volume of metal = 5.66mL

Density =.?

Density = Mass /volume

Density = 32.56g/5.66mL

Density of the metal = 5.75g/mL

Comparing the density of the metal with standard density of elements, the metal is Tin (Sn)

Carbonic acid is an important agent involved in rock and mineral dissolution. How is carbonic acid formed?

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Carbonic acid a type of weak acid formed from the dissolving of carbon dioxide in water.

Explanation:

The chemical formula of carbonic acid is H2CO3. Its structure consists of a carboxyl group with two hydroxyl groups connected. As a weak acid, it partially ionizes, dissociates or rather, breaks apart, in a solution.

As you move from row ______ to row ______ in the periodic table, the atomic radius of the elements DECREASES.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

7 to 1

Explanation:

As you move from row ----- to row ------ in the periodic table, the atomic radius of the elements DECREASES.?

And we have 7 rows in a periodic table, so the answer has to either 1 to 7 or 7 to 1

Theoretically,

Atomic size increase as we move from top to bottom as an extra shell gets added up with every period.

SO, the answer is, 7 to 1
