Answer:

CO2 consists of individual molecules with one central carbon atom double bonded to two oxygen atoms. Silicon does not form double bonds with oxygen. CO2 is gas but SiO2 is a solid because SiO2 has a giant molecular structure. CO2 has a simple molecular structure, and because of this, CO2 is gas but SiO2 is solid at room temperature.

Answer:

Explanation:

Because of their structure . Silica has a chain structure with e one silicon atom bonded to 4 oxygen atoms in the lattice. The structure is a long chain of tightly held atoms and this forms a solid.

The carbon dioxide molecule however as a linear structure and each oxygen atom is bonded by double bonds. These double bonds are not as strong as the Si - O bonds in silica so will not form a chain structure.

What is the wavelength (in nm) of the least energetic spectral line in the visible series of the H atom?

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Brackett Series (n = 4)

Explanation:

The least energetic line of Hydrogen atom lies in <em>Brackett Series </em>when n = 4 because these are least energetic, have longer wavelengths and lies in Infrared region of spectrum. No traces of <em>Pfund series </em>are formed by H=atoms.

What sort of evidence would support at least one of the components of the

Answer:

(not sure) The origin of all cells observed can be traced to previous cells

Explanation:

- not all cells convert energy (?) (this I'm not sure but think so? might be wrong tho)

- not all cells have cell walls e.g. animal cells only have the cell membrane, no cell wall

- Rocks and other nonliving things are composed of cells: non living things are composed of the elements and not cells (unless they were previously alive, then they contain dead cells)
