Why does hardness decrease with increasing molecular weight of the metals in the oxygen compounds?

Lynna [10]4 years ago

<u>Answer:</u> <em> Option (A)</em>

<em>Larger molecular weight means a smaller valence or charge on the metal, so making the bond between them weaker and the hardness lower</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Hardness decrease with increasing molecular weight of the metals</em> in the oxygen compounds, the reason for the decrease in hardness of the metals is due to chemical repulsion (inter molecular forces between atoms) which is greater when the metal and oxygen are close to each other <em>making the compound hard.</em>

If the repulsion is smaller, the compound has less hardness. So when the molecular weight is large, it has smaller valence or less charge on the<em> metal which makes the bond weaker and less hard.</em>

¿Por qué los países pobres muchas veces protestan contra la liberación del comercio internacional?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Generalmente, los países pobres tienen monedas muy devaluadas frente a las monedas de referencia, como lo son el dólar o el euro. Por lo tanto, los costos de producción propia de estos países se encarece, pues necesitan de grandes cantidades de su moneda para poder abastecerse de los insumos necesarios para producir los bienes que necesitan para destinarlos al comercio exterior.

En cambio, los países con economías grandes y estables poseen monedas competitivas, con lo cual sus costos de producción suelen ser menores, es decir, representan un esfuerzo menor que el de los países pobres.

Por lo tanto, en caso de una apertura comercial, como un tratado de libre comercio que suprima los aranceles a las importaciones y exportaciones, los productos de los países más ricos (que son más baratos de producir y por ende más baratos en su precio final) serían absolutamente dominantes sobre los productos de los países pobres, que carecerían de competitividad en razón de precios.

Un claro ejemplo se da respecto de China, cuya producción en serie de productos tecnológicos inunda los mercados mundiales, quitándole posibilidades de competitividad a países con menos desarrollo industrial.

Para evitar esta situación, muchos países y bloques comerciales imponen aranceles para equiparar precios entre estos países y los países más competitivos.

Why do the chances of an earthquake increase rather than decrease as time passed since the last earthquake answers?
hodyreva [135]
Over time, pressure continues to build in the tectonic plates, until suddenly, they shift in an earthquake. Aftershocks are common, but then a long time can pass before another one becomes likely.
