<h3>Answer:</h3>

             Krypton has a higher melting point than argon because of its stronger dispersion forces.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                   Dispersion forces also known as London Dispersion forces are found in non polar compounds. These interactions take place in two steps.

Step 1: Instantaneous Dipole:

                                                  In non polar compounds the electron density on atom is symmetrical. When these symmetrical atoms approaches second symmetrical atom, a disturbance in electron densities occur due to repulsion between electrons. Due to repulsion the electrons density change there position and for a small period of time and instantaneous dipole is produced on an atom.

Step 2: Induced Dipole:

                                         The dipole produced in step one when approaches another symmetrical atom, the partial positive part (low electron density site) attracts the electron from symmetrical atom and induces polarity in it. In this way the non polar atoms become polar and interacts with each other.

<h3>Factors Effecting Strength of Dispersion Forces:</h3>

i) Size of Atom / Molecule:

                                           Greater the size of an atom greater will be the dispersion forces and vice versa.

ii) Shape of Molecules:

                                      Greater the branching on molecule, weaker will be the dispersion forces and vice versa.

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

                  As the size of Krypton is greater than Argon therefore, it will have stronger dispersion forces and will melt at higher temperature than Argon.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The same number of molecules, 6.0 × 10²³ molecules.

Explanation:

The amount of any given gas that can be stored in a container depends on the <u>temperature, pressure and volume </u>of the container. It does not depend on the nature (or identity) of the gas.

So if a 10-liter flask contains 6.0 × 10²³ molecules of hydrogen gas, it will contain the same amount of molecules of any other gas when temperature and pressure remain constant.

A compound is 44.7% P and the rest O. Determine its emperical formula.
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:  

P₅O₁₂

<em>Explanation:  </em>

Assume that you have 100 g of the compound.  

Then you have 44.7 g P and 55.3 g O.  

1. Calculate the <em>moles</em> of each atom  

Moles of P  = 44.7 × 1/30.97 = 1.443 mol Al  

Moles of O = 55.3 × 1/16.00 = 3.456 mol O  

2. Calculate the <em>molar ratios</em>.  

P: 1.443/1.443 =   1  

O: 3.456/1.443 = 2.395

3. Multiply by a number to make the ratio close to an integer

P:  5 × 1         =  5

O: 5 × 2.395 = 11.97

3. Determine the <em>empirical formula </em>

Round off all numbers to the closest integer.  

P:   5

O: 12

The empirical formula is <em>P₅O₁₂</em>.

SO2________________.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

a. Dipole-dipole bonding

Explanation:

SO2 has dipole-dipole bonding. This is because of the difference in the electronegativities  of Sulphur and oxygen. Moreover, the lone pair of electrons on S gives it bent shape with a net dipole  unlike CO2 which has a linear shape.( This why CO2 does not have any dipole moment).

So, the correct answer is a.
