Answer:

C. CH_3CH_2CH_3

Explanation:

Molecules with the stronger intermolecular forces are pulled tightly together  to form solid at higher temperatures and that's why the freezing point is higher.

Also, molecules with the stronger intermolecular force have greater interaction between the molecules and thus on heating do not boil easily and have high boiling point also.

Thus, melting point and boiling point increases with increase in number of carbon atoms and also increase in intermolecular forces (like hydrogen bonding, if present).

Thus, the compound which is gas at room temperature is CH_3CH_2CH_3 <u>because it has least number of carbon atoms and absence of hydrogen bonding.</u>

D represents ion-dipole forces that are stronger than the force C.

Explanation:

D represents the ion-dipole force.

C represents the H-bonding forces.

ion-dipole force is a force that is due to electrostatic attraction and has a dipole between an ion and a neutral molecule.

It is electrostatic in nature.

A hydrogen bond is the force between the hydrogen with the electro negative atom of one molecule, to electro negative atom of some other molecule. such as: O, F, N

Ion dipole force is stronger than the H-bonding.

When an atom gains an electron, the resulting particle is calledA) a proton.B) an anion.C) a cation.D) an isotope.E) none of the
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

B) an anion

Explanation:

During bonding atoms may share electron or give out electron . In the case of electrovalent or ionic bonding, electron(s) is/are transferred from one atom to another . The atom that donate the electron are known as donor atom and the atom that receives the electron are known as receivers.

The atom that donate the electron becomes a cation(positively charged) as it lose it electron(s) while the receiver gains electron to become an anion which is a negatively charge ion.  

An example of such interaction is between a sodium atom and a chlorine atom.  The Na atom lose it electron to become positively charged(cation) while the chlorine atom gains electron to become negatively charged(anion). Both atom bond together losing and gaining electron to fulfill the octet rule.

Na+  +  Cl-   → NaCl

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Upon arrival we needed to hunt in this new land we only had five refills and they needed 50 g of gunpowder to be shot once. We only have 15 pounds of gunpowder. It is taking six shots to kill one of these wild turkeys. How many turkeys can be shot with 15 pounds of gunpowder?

If we had plenty of refills, and it takes 6 shots to kill a wild turkey at 50 gms of gunpowder per shot, then each turkey requires 6X50 =300gms of gunpowder.  We have 15X454 gms of gunpowder and have the potential to kill 15X454/300=22.7 or 22 turkeys.and it takes 6 shots to kill a wild turkey.

The limiting reagent is the number of refills, and withonly 5, we are out of luck and can't kill one turkey

How to determine how many valence electrons an element has?
In-s [12.5K]
Usually (ignoring transition metals, as they kinda get trickier), the element's valency can be found out by its group (column) number. Usually, we ignore the transition metal block while counting these columns, so Aluminium is in group 3, for example. Since Aluminium is in group 3, it has 3 valence electrons.
