In a balloon there is a low pressure within the balloon. This means that the particles are more spaced out. Wheras in the cylinder they are under high pressure, meaning that the particles are much closer together!
Effect of Hybridisation on Single, Double and Triple Bond Lengths of Carbon. Since the sp hybrid orbital contains more s-character (50%), it is closer to its nucleus; therefore, it forms shorter bonds. Because of the same reason sp2 hybrid orbital forms shorter bonds than sp3 hybrid orbitals.
The mineral is Iron Sulphide. It is not a mixture, but a compound. A mixture is when two substances are together, but not chemically bonded. For example, if I add food colouring to water, I have made a mixture because the food colouring has not chemically bonded to the water. If I react Iron with Suphur, the resulting substance is a compound. The resulting mineral will not burn or be magnetic because the compound has different properties to the elements themselves. For example, chlorine gas is toxic and sodium reacts violently with water, but sodium chloride is table salt, nor toxic nor explosive.
Hope this helps
I'm not sure, but I believe the correct answer is C.
