Answer:

The answer to the question is;

The inter-molecular forces of water are stronger than those of hydrogen.

Explanation:

Ammonia is a compressible gas at room temperature with molecules free to move about and so fill up the volume of the container in which it is placed due to the weaker inter-molecular Van der Waals forces such as Keesom, Debye and London dispersion forces holding the particles of ammonia together in a given volume of the compound.

The inter-molecular forces between water molecules is hydrogen binding and dipole moments due to the strongly electronegative oxygen and hydrogen which tends to move the electrons towards the oxygen creating a charge imbalance that causes the hydrogen surrounding the water molecule to aggregate to neutralize the the charge imbalance  forming the bases for the strong hydrogen bonds.

Therefore water is a liquid at room temperature while ammonia is a gas due to the difference in strength of their inter-molecular forces.

The three end stages of stars are Red Giant Phase, Second Red Giant Phase and White Dwarf Phase correct?
solong [7]

Answer: Most of the stars in the universe are main sequence stars — those converting hydrogen into helium via nuclear fusion. A main sequence star may have a mass between a third to eight times that of the sun and eventually burn through the hydrogen in its core. Over its life, the outward pressure of fusion has balanced against the inward pressure of gravity. Once the fusion stops, gravity takes the lead and compresses the star smaller and tighter.

Temperatures increase with the contraction, eventually reaching levels where helium is able to fuse into carbon. Depending on the mass of the star, the helium burning might be gradual or might begin with an explosive flash.

2. Which is most likely a result of Earth's rotation?
jeyben [28]

Answer:

C. All parts of Earth experience periods of daylight and darkness.

Explanation:

Not all parts of earth experience the same temperatures. For example, Alaska vs. Florida. Alaska is always freezing cold and Florida is generally always warm.

Not all parts of Earth experience extreme temperature changes either. For example, Florida doesn't experience extreme colds and Alaska doesn't experience extreme warmth.

Not all parts of Earth Experience the same amount of day and night. There are month long periods where Alaska doesn't see the sun, and it is pitch black, and dark. Florida experiences a decent amount of daylight. etc.

I used the same states for example throughout my answer to try to not confuse people. I hope my answer helped!
