In a solid the particles are all really close together and stuck like that. As the solid melts and becomes a liquid the particles spread out. A solid won’t easily change its shape because the particles are bound together but in a liquid the shape is more fluid, take water when you pour it into a container it will change to fit the shape of a container this is because the particles aren’t as close and can move around. The particles of a solid change when it melts because it is changing states to a liquid.

5. What is metallic bonding?<br> 6. Why are metals shiny?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Metallic bonding is found in metals and their alloys. When the atoms give up their valence electrons, they form ions. These ions are held together by the electron cloud surrounding them. Metals are shiny because they have a lot of free (i.e. delocalized) electrons that form a cloud of highly mobile negatively charged electrons on and beneath the smooth metal surface in the ideal case. ... In the absence of any external EM field, the charges in the plasma are uniformly distributed within the metal.

Explanation:

In metallic bonding, the electrons are “surrendered” to a common pool and become shared by all the atoms in the solid metal.

Hydrogen, a potential future fuel, can be produced from carbon (from coal) and steam by the following reaction: C(s)+2H2O(g)→2H2
madam [21]

The question is incomplete , complete question is:

Hydrogen, a potential future fuel, can be produced from carbon (from coal) and steam by the following reaction:

C(s)+ 2 H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+CO_2(g).\Delta H=?

Note that the average bond energy for the breaking of a bond in CO2 is 799 kJ/mol. Use average bond energies to calculate ΔH of reaction for this reaction.

Answer:

The ΔH of the reaction is -626 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

C(s)+ 2 H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+CO_2(g).\Delta H=?

We are given with:

\Delta H_{H-O}=459 kJ/mol

\Delta H_{H-H}=432 kJ/mol

\Delta H_{C=O}=799 kJ/mol

ΔH =  (Energies required to break bonds on reactant side) - (Energies released on formation of bonds on product side)

\Delta H=(4\times \Delta H_{O-H})-(2\times \Delta H_{H-H}+2\times\Delta H_{C=O})

=(4\times 459 kJ/mol)-(2\times 432 kJ/mol+2\times 799 kJ/mol

\Delta H=-626 kJ/mol

The ΔH of the reaction is -626 kJ/mol.

Adding O2 to the reaction 6CO2 + 6H2O &lt;---&gt; C6H12O6 + 6O2, WHICH WAY WILL THE REACTION SHIFT?
Alex73 [517]

Increase in Oxygen shift the equilibrium towards reactant side.

<u>Explanation:</u>

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ⇄ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

This is the reaction occurs in the photosynthesis of plants by means of sunlight. In this case, if the concentration of Oxygen increases or adding more oxygen to the product side will shift the equilibrium towards the reactant side according to the Le Chatlier's principle, which adjusts the equilibrium by itself for any changes that is increase or decrease in pressure, temperature or concentration of reactants or products.
