Answer:

  • <u><em>Copper atoms vibrate around fixed positions, whereas mercury atoms move around while staying close together. </em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>solid </em>state of matter is characterized by rigid crystalline structures, in which <em>atoms </em>can vibrate around a fixed position. That is why <em>solids</em> have definite shape and volume, and cannot flow. This is described in the last statement when it states <em>"Copper atoms vibrate around fixed positions"</em>

The <em>liquid </em>state of matter is characterized by the <em>atoms </em>being more separated than in<em> solids.</em> While the <em>atoms </em>in the liquid are not completely free to move, they can slide past the neighboring atoms, which gives them the property to flow. Therefore, the liquids, although they have a defined volume, take the form of the container. This is what the last statement describes as "mercury atoms move while remaining together"

How do waves erode sea cliffs?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Wave energy is dissipated in quiet water areas like bays, resulting in sand deposition. Strong wave energy concentrates its power on the wave-cut cliff, eroding areas that stick out into the water. The wave erodes the cliff's bottom, eventually causing it to fall.

How many molecules are there in 42 grams of AIF3
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 3.012×10^23  molecules

Explanation:

The number of molecules is present in any mole of an element or compound are the same. To find the molecules you need to multiply the number of the moles of the compound by Avogadro's number:

Moles are calculated from the molecular weight, for AlF3

= 26.98 + 3×19

= 26.98 + 57

= 83.98

Then moles in 42 grams:

= 42/83.98

= 0.5001190 moles

Now the number of molecules = moles*Avogadro's number

= 0.500110×6.022×10^23

= 3.011×10^23  molecules

Nano3 dinitrogen oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a sweet-tasting gas used in dentistry. when solid ammonium nitrate is hea
Alexxandr [17]
This is a decomposition reaction, where ammonium nitrate is heated and decomposed to gaseous water and dinitrogen oxide.
Formulas for reactants and products with states are as follows;
ammonium nitrate - NH₄NO₃ (s)
water - H₂O (g)
dinitrogen oxide - N₂O (g)
balanced reactions when the masses of both sides of the equation must be balanced 

Balanced chemical equation 
NH₄NO₃(s) ---> 2H₂O(g) + N₂O(g)
