Explain how the four states of matter differ at the molecular level

In solids, strong bonds between atoms/molecules keep them in place. There is not much movement of the individual particals. If you add heat, your substance will go through the different states of matter because the energy you put in is enough to break these bonds between particles. Plasma is a bit different. These are just gas particles BUT they have a charge (that can move from one particle to another) which causes electricity.

Explain in a short sentence how you can tell if a reaction is a double replacement<br> reaction.

Monica [59]

Explanation:

In a double displacement reaction, there is an actual exchange of partners to form new compounds.

The reaction is given as shown below:

AB + CD → AD + CB

One of the following conditions serves as the driving force for a double replacement reaction:

Formation of an insoluble compound or precipitate
Formation of water or any other non-ionizing compound
Liberation of a gaseous product.

Which of the following below is the complete ionic equation of the reaction: Calcium nitrate and sodium sulfide solutions react

3241004551 [841]

To find the net ionic equation we must first write the balanced equation for the reaction. We must bear in mind that the reagents Ca(NO3)2 and Na2S are in the aqueous state and as product we will have CaS in the solid state, since it is not soluble in water and NaNO3 in the aqueous state.

The balanced equation of the reaction will be:

$Ca(NO_3)_{2(aq)}+Na_2S_{(aq)}\rightarrow CaS_{(s)}+2NaNO_{3(aq)}$

Ca(NO3)2(aq) + → Ca(aq) + 2Na(s)NO3Now, c(aq)ompounds in the aqueous state can be written in their ionic form, so the reaction will transform into:Na2S +
