Answer:
Explanation:
(a) Answer: Intermolecular forces
The reason for this answer is because the substance (paraffin wax) only changed it's state from solid to liquid and didn't undergo a breakage in it's covalent bond within it's carbon chain which would have produced another substance.
(b) Solid substances are generally more dense than there corresponding liquid substances because the more compact particles are (which occurs in solids), the more dense they become. They are thus more dense than liquids because liquids have there particles loosely packed and well spaced making them less dense than there corresponding solids. Hence, the solid paraffin wax was going to become less dense because it's particles moved from being tightly packed (as solids) to being loosely packed (as liquids). Density refers to mass per volume but can also be described as the level of compactness of a substance. Thus, since liquid is not as compact as solid, it can be said to be less dense than solids.
Answer:
Inhaling large concentrations of uranium can cause lung cancer from the exposure to alpha particles. Uranium is also a toxic chemical, meaning that ingestion of uranium can cause kidney damage from its chemical properties much sooner than its radioactive properties would cause cancers of the bone or liver.
Explanation:
Reactivity of Group 1 and 2 elements increases as you go down the periodic table. So sodium is more reactive than lithium. Sodium will react with oxygen forming Na2O (sodium oxide). Lithium forms lithium oxide (Li2O).
Atomic reaction is nothing but the reaction of one atom with the other atom to form the new compound.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The atom is considered as the ultimate basic particle of the matter.
- This atom comprise of electron neutrons and protons.
- Generally in the atomic reaction, there will be loss or gain of the electron to or from the substance with which the reaction takes place.
- In default, all atoms wanted to attain the noble gas configuration which is stable in nature. These atoms from the ionic or covalent bond by sharing the electron.

Potassium sulfide, also
known as dipotassium monosulfide, consists of two potassium ions bonded to a
sulfide atom, rendering the chemical formula K2S.<span>Rarely
found in nature due to its high reactivity with water, potassium sulfide is
refined from the more common potassium sulfate (K2SO4) and is used in many
industries</span>
