Why do molecular compounds have low melting points and low boiling points relative to ionic substances??

Chemistry

Because molecular bonds are not as strong as ionic bonds, they require less energy (heat) to break apart. This translate to less heat being required to move from one state to the next (melting, boiling, freezing, condensing) and thus a lower melting and boiling point.

At element makes up all organic compounds?
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

  • <em>The element that makes up all organic compounds </em><u>is carbon (C)</u>

Explanation:

The term organic matter refers to the matter in the living organisms. Nowadays, organic compounds, the object of organic chemistry, are the compounds that contain carbon except carbon oxides, carbides and carbonates (which are considered inorganic compounds).

Organic compounds form a vast  variety of vital compounds based on the versatility of carbon atoms.

Carbon atoms have four valence electrons which can form a variety of single, double, and triple bonds with it self, to form long chains.

Carbon atoms can also form bonds with other elements like, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, halogens, among others, to form different kind of compounds: alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, eters, amines, amides, polymers, among others.

Thus, organic compounds form a vast subject of study based on the  special chemical properties of carbon.

Which of the following best explains the polarity of water (H2O)?
34kurt

Answer:

B). Electrons are more attracted to the oxygen atom, so there is a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.

Explanation:

The above statement most aptly describes the polarity or uneven distribution of the density of electrons. In water, two hydrogen atoms and one atom of oxygen leading to the formation of polar covalent bonds. Thus, <u>there is the presence of a partial negative charge close to the oxygen atom and partial positive charge near the hydrogen atom as the former has unshared pair of electrons</u>. This polarity of water allows it to dissolve sugar or other ionic substances in it. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

Ammonia, NH3, can be made by reacting nitrogen and the equation is N2 + 3H2 --&gt; 2NH3 How many moles of NH3 can be made if 18
alukav5142 [94]
N2 + 3 H2 -> 2 NH3 
<span>Just use their stoichiometric coefficients (number before the chemical's name) from the balanced chemical reaction to make ratios and solve for the unknown. In this case, 2 moles of NH3 are produced for every 3 moles of H2. Thus, </span>
<span>7.5 moles H2 x (2 moles NH3 / 3 moles H2) = 5 moles NH3

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction: C2H4+O2=H2O+Co2?
pav-90 [236]
Consider the formation of water molecule. Hydrogen combines with oxygen to form  a water molecule.

 

In this case, the total mass of the reactants = total mass of the products. Also, the number of atoms of hydrogen and oxygen in the reactants side and the products side are equal.

that's all I know
