Increasing the temperature increases the vaporization rate of a liquid because the excess energy is used to break covalent bonds
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

False.  The molecules of liquid are hold in the liquid state due to intermolecular forces or Van de Waals forces , without affecting the molecule itself and its atomic bonds (covalent bonds).  When the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules is higher , therefore they have more possibilities to escape from the attractive intermolecular forces and go to the gas state.

Note however that this is caused because the intermolecular forces are really weak compared to covalent bonds, therefore is easier to break the first one first and go to the gas state before any covalent bond breaks ( if it happens).

A temperature increase can increase vaporisation rate if any reaction is triggered that decomposes the liquid into more volatile compounds , but nevertheless, this effect is generally insignificant compared with the effect that temperature has in vaporisation due to Van der Waals forces.

A hydrocarbon is a compound that contains mostly carbon and hydrogen. Calculate the percent composition (by mass) of the followi
Katena32 [7]
C7H16, where C=12.01, and H=1.01, so the weight of the molecule would be 7(12.01)+16(1.01), or 100.23. The percentage of carbon would be found by ((7*12.01)/100.23)*100=83.88% Carbon
((16*1.01)/100.23)*100=16.12% Hydrogen

Metals have low ionization energies and readily share their ________ or outer electrons with each other to form an electron ____
Dmitry [639]

Explanation:

Metals are the species which readily lose electrons in order to attain stability. This electron lost by the atom is actually present in its outermost shell which is also known as valence shell.

Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.

When we move across a period from left to right then there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. Therefore, ionization energy increases along a period.  

But when we move down a group then there occurs an increase in atomic size of the atoms due to addition of number of electrons in the atoms. Hence, ionization energy decreases along a group.

Thus, we can conclude that metals have low ionization energies and readily share their valence or outer electrons with each other to form an electron sea. These electrons are delocalized or shared among all the atoms that are bonded together and can therefore move freely throughout the metal structure.
