Explanation:
The molecules of solids are shrinked in there normal state . but as a heat energy is produced , the molecules starts curating fast and fast as temperature goes up . since they vibrate , they hit and collide each other breaking the bondings this increases the surface of area of the solid , and molecules consumes that space and they expand .
The atomic number increases moving left to right across a period and subsequently so does the effective nuclear charge. Therefore, moving left to right across a period the nucleus has a greater pull on the outer electrons and the atomic radii decreases.
Answer:
Explanation:
In Polystrene, the molecular formula for the repeat unit =
;
and the atomic weights of Carbon C = 12.01 g/mol
For Hydrogen, it is 1.01 g/mol
Hence, the repeat unit molecular weight is:
m = 8 (12.01 g/mol)+8(1.01 g/mol)
m = 96.08 g/mol + 8.08 g/mol
m = 104.16 g/mol
The degree of polymerization = no-average molecular weight/repeat unit molecular weight.
Mathematically;
