The answer should be "by convection" not by radiation.
Answer:
the description of a mineral species usually includes its common physical properties such as habit, hardness, lustre, diaphaneity, colour, streak, tenacity, cleavage, fracture, parting, specific gravity, magnetism, fluorescence, radioactivity, as well as its taste or smell and its reaction to acid.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
a) The magnitude of intermolecular forces in compounds affects the boiling points of the compound. Neon has London dispersion forces as the only intermolecular forces operating in the substance while HF has dipole dipole interaction and strong hydrogen bonds operating in the molecule hence HF exhibits a much higher boiling point than Ne though they have similar molecular masses.
b) The boiling points of the halogen halides are much higher than that of the noble gases because the halogen halides have much higher molecular masses and stronger intermolecular forces between molecules compared to the noble gases.
Also, the change in boiling point of the hydrogen halides is much more marked(decreases rapidly) due to decrease in the magnitude of hydrogen bonding from HF to HI. The boiling point of the noble gases increases rapidly down the group as the molecular mass of the gases increases.
Answer: Polythene
Polythene is a synthetic polymer classified as plastics.
Explanation:
Polythene is formed artificially from several repeating units of ethene molecules (monomers) in a reaction known as polymerization.
The polyethene can be represented as [CH2-CH2]n, where n is thousands to ten thousands unit of ethene.
It is used to make
- plastic bags,
- cable insulators
- plastic crates etc
Thus, polythene is a synthetic polymer of ethene, and classified as plastics.
