Answer:

In order to create the most stable heavy element I would use two very stable isotopes that are also doubly magic. I think I would use Tin for the element because it has ten stable isotopes which is the largest known number for an element. I think I would combine this will carbon as it is another stable element.

Identify which of these molecules has the highest boiling point and give the reasoning why in terms of intermolecular force. CHC

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

CH3COOH

Explanation:

CH3COOH has the highest boiling point because it participates in the strongest intermolecular interactions. The -OH group can participate in hydrogen bonding with other -OH groups. Hydrogen bonds are very strong because they are the result of large partial positive charge on the hydrogen and large partial negative charge on the oxygen. When surrounded by other -OH groups, the partial positive charge on the hydrogen can form temporary bonds with the partial negative charge of an oxygen on another molecule. The stronger the intermolecular interactions, the more difficult they are to overcome, thus increasing the boiling point.

The strongest IMF the other molecules participate in are dipole-dipole. These interactions are not as strong as hydrogen bonding.

The measure of the speed of the moving or<br> vibrating particles is called the

saw5 [17]

Answer:

Temperature

Explanation:

It's called temperature.

This is because, in any substance an increase in temperature means that the particles on the average will move with greater speeds, or that they have greater kinetic energy while a decrease in temperature means that the particles on the average will move with lesser speeds, or that they have lesser kinetic energy.
