Option D. maintain their positions.
Pressure does not modify the relative position of the atoms in solid matter. The atoms are kept in position by the atomic and molecular bonds whose length is a feature of every pair of atoms.
For example, all the bonds of C-C and C-H in the wood will have the same bond length
Condensed electron configuration of :
Ga = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p¹.
O = 1s² 2s² 2p⁴
Gallium belongs to group 13 of the periodic table with 3 valence electrons. Oxygen (Atomic number = 8 and electronic configuration = 2,6) belongs to group 16 of the periodic table with 6 valence electrons. To achieve the octet stability criteria 2 gallium atoms will donate their 3 electrons each to 3 oxygen atoms.
The 3 oxygen atoms due to their high electron attracting ability will accept those electrons resulting in Ga3+ cation and O₂⁻ anion.
Thus, the formula of their compound if Ga₂O₃.

<span>An insect would have an easier time walking on the surface of water than on the surface of ethanol. Water's stronger intermolecular forces lead to higher surface tension. Higher surface tension allows water to support the insect. I hope this helps.</span>
Answer : The pH of the solution is, 9.63
Explanation : Given,
The dissociation constant for HCN = 
First we have to calculate the moles of HCN and NaCN.

and,

The balanced chemical reaction is:

Initial moles 0.1116 0.0461 0.08978
At eqm. (0.1116-0.0461) 0 (0.08978+0.0461)
0.0655 0.1359
Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.
Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :
![pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BSalt%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D)
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:


Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 9.63
