How are the melting points and boiling points of molecular compounds usually different from those of ionic compounds

Chemistry
1 answer:
pentagon [3]3 years ago
6 0
Melting points and boiling points of molecular compound are usually lower than ionic compounds. This is so as only a small amount of energy is required to overcome the weak intermolecular forces of attraction (Van de Waals forces) thus having lower m.p. and b.p.

Ionic compounds require a large amount of energy to overcome the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the ions, hence having higher mp and bp

An electron in a hydrogen atom relaxes to the n=4 level, emitting light of 74 THz.
Solnce55 [7]
Delta E = Ef - Ei
E = energy , h = plank constant  , v = frequency
h= 6.626 * 10 ^-34 j*s  ,  T = 10 ^ 12  , v = 74 * 10 ^12 Hz  ,  Hz = s^-1 

E = ( 6.626 * 10^ -34 j*s) ( 74 * 10 ^ 12 s^ -1 )  =   4.90 * 10 ^ -20 J
Delta E  = Ef  -  Ei
-4.90 * 10 ^ -20 J =  -2.18 * 10 ^ -18J ( 1/4 ^2 - 1/x ^2)
0.0225 = 0.0625 -  ( 1/x ^ 2)
0.225 - 0.0625 =  - 1/ x ^ 2 

- 0.0400 = - 1/x ^2    =   -1 / - 0.0400    =   x^2
25   =  x^2 
     x = 5

Why are environmental factors important to consider when assessing an individual’s health?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: c. Some health risks are increased by heredity, which manifest under certain environmental conditions.

Explanation:

Many abiotic factors (non-living factors) such as radiations, hazardous substances present in the environment such as air, water and soil may originate from the industries, mining practices, fossil fuels and landfills. Some of the substances are carcinogenic and mutagenic in nature. These are capable of affecting the genetic make up of the organism. The genetic variations or mutations occurs may transmit from the parent to the offsprings.

Therefore, on the basis of the above information, c. Some health risks are increased by heredity, which manifest under certain environmental conditions. is the correct option.
