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"

A 50% antifreeze solution is to be mixed with a 90% antifreeze solution to get 200 liters of a 80% solution. How many liters of
sergey [27]

Answer:

50 ltr 150 ltr

Explanation:

this problem can be solved by the mixture and allegation concept which can be clearly understand from bellow figure in which the concentration of solution 1 is 50% and concentration of solution 2 is 90% before mixing after mixing with help bellow concept the ratio of concentration become 10:30

ratio of solution 1 and solution 2 =10:30

                                                     =1:3

total mixture is 200 liters

part of solution 1=\frac{1}{4} ×200

                           =50 liters

part of solution 2=\frac{3}{4} ×200

                           =150 liters

The molecules of a substance must have what characteristics in order to be flexible
Goryan [66]
Answer:
            <span>The molecules of a substance which must have the <u>a</u></span><u>bility to move past one another</u> are said to be flexible.

Explanation:
                   Those substances are said to be flexible which can be bent without breaking. There are many substances which are hard in nature but still can be bent. The hardness of such materials is due to strong interactions between the molecules and the flexibility comes due to their amorphous backbone. Therefore, greater the crystalline level of macromolecules lesser is the flexibility and greater the amorphous character greater is the flexibility and vice versa. Also, the flexibility of polymers is increased by adding plastisizers in it. Plastisizers make the hard polymers flexible by breaking the crosslinkers and enabling the macromolecules to move past one another.
