Answer: (3) Chlorine molecules have weak intermolecular forces of attraction.

Explanation: In order to liquefy a gas, the molecules must be brought closer. Chlorine being a gas has weak inter molecular forces of attraction and the molecules are far away from each other.

Thus decreasing the temperature would decrease the kinetic energy of the molecules and increase in pressure would bring the molecules close together to convert it into liquid phase.

4 is correct. Since gases are made of rapidly moving molecules with a relatively high amount of kinetic energy, the molecules have a hard time coming together to form a liquid. You must lower their kinetic energy with a low temperature and force the molecules together with high pressure.

Why is the melting of ice a physical change?

yan [13]

<span>A physical change basically involves a change in physical properties. Some examples of physical properties include: texture, shape, size, color, volume, mass, weight, etc.

The water melting has changed the shape and therefore it's physical properties, but the chemical nature of the water has not been altered.
So that's why it's a physical change, and not a chemical change.</span>

In a DNA sample, 15% of the bases are thymine (T). What percentage of the bases in this sample are cytosine (C)?

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

C) 35%

Explanation:

Thymine pairs with adenine. If thymine is 15% then so would adenine be 15%. That leaves the reaminder to be 70%. Cytosine pairs with guanine, thereby, they would each be 35%.

Which two subatomic particles have the greatest mass?

denpristay [2]

Answer:

PROTON AND NEUTRON

Explanation:

The mass of proton is : $1.67*10^{-27}kg$

A proton is one of the main particles that make up the atom . The other two particles are neutron and electron. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom.This is a tiny , dense region at the centre of the atom. Protons have a positive charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit ( amu ) , which is about $1.67*10^{-27}kg$ . Together with neutrons , they make up virtually all of the mass of an atom.

The mass of neutron is also approximately: $1.67*10^{-27}kg$ but a little more than that .

Atoms of all elements - except Hydrogen , have neutrons in their nucleus . Unlike protons and electrons , these have no charge - they are electrically neutral . The mass of a neutron is slightly greater than the mass of a proton but not very significant
