Answer:
A solid's particles are packed closely together. The forces between the particles are strong enough that the particles cannot move freely; they can only vibrate. As a result, a solid has a stable, definite shape and a definite volume. Solids can only change shape under force, as when broken or cut.
Elements in the same group have similar reactivities. For example, elements in group 1 are highly reactive, since they can all take in 7 electrons. Hope I helped!
Answer:
The mean free path = 2.16*10^-6 m
Explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
Pressure of gas P = 100 kPa
Temperature T = 300 K
collision cross section, σ = 2.0*10^-20 m2
Boltzmann constant, k = 1.38*10^-23 J/K
<u>To determine:</u>
The mean free path, λ
<u>Calculation:</u>
The mean free path is related to the collision cross section by the following equation:

where n = number density

Substituting for P, k and T in equation (2) gives:

Next, substituting for n and σ in equation (1) gives:
