Answer:

In chemistry, atom is the smallest particle of an element

Explanation:

Atoms are smallest particle of an element.

For example, when you have a substance, lets say an apply, and you keep on cutting it, It will reach a point in which you will be unable to cut it anymore, at that point we call the particle an atom.

Atoms are neutral in charge. Inside the atoms, there is a nucleus which consist of proton, neutron and electrons. The protons are positively charged, the electrons are negatively charged. There are equal number of protons and electrons in an atom, this make the atom to be neutral in charges.

Atoms are the building block of any materials or substance.

What can help overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid

IgorC [24]

Answer: D. An increase in entropy

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from an disordered arrangement to an ordered arrangement, the entropy is said to increase and vice versa.

For a reaction to be spontaneous, the enthalpy of the solution must decrease and the entropy must increase.

To overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid solute to dissolve in water, an increase in entropy would make the reaction spontaneous as the system would move to a more disordered state.
