Which statements describe phase changes? Check all that apply. Particles in a liquid need to move more slowly in order to freeze
Kipish [7]

Answer: Statements (A), and (C) are correct.

Explanation:

The statements that are true are as follows.

  • Particles in a liquid need to move more slowly in order to freeze.

When a liquid freezes the molecules get attracted towards each other. This attraction of particles occurs slowly. Hence, this statement is true.

  • Attractive forces between the particles in a liquid are broken when a liquid boils.

When temperature is raised, the molecules in a liquid gains kinetic energy and start to move quickly in random directions. As a result, liquid state changes to gaseous state. Hence, this statement is true.

If the attractive force between gas molecules have to be increased, they should be moving slower instead because moving faster does not help attracting molecules together.

Hence, the statement particles in gas move fast enough to make more attractive forces when the gas condenses is not true.

Consider a 100-gram sample of radioactive cobalt-60.
svetlana [45]

It will take 5.2 years to decay.

The half life of cobalt-60 is 5.2 years. The half life is the time taken for the mass of the substance to decrease by a half.

here, the amount of remaining substance is 50%,

so, (\frac{1}{2} )^{n} = 0.5

n. log (0.5) = log (0.5)

n = 1

So it would take 1 half lives to decay this much, which is 1 x 5.2 which is 5.2 years.

what do you mean by radioactive decay ?

The process through which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy via radiation is known as radioactive decay, also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration. A material that has unstable nuclei is considered as radioactive.

Explain how lone pairs of electrons influence the shape of a molecule.
Ronch [10]

Explanation:

the lone pairs will be negatively charged. these have a repulsion effect on other negatively charged electrons in the shells of atoms. picture a water molecule: the lone electron pair on the top of the oxygen will have a repulsion force on the 2 hydrogen atom's orbiting electrons to cause a bent molecular geometry.
