Answer:
The answer is salt
Explanation:
I got it right on the quiz
The steel rods will enable the concrete to form without any bumps and it will add shape to the cement and strength, so no odd massive lumps are formed.
That is what I think anyways :)
Answer: Order of the elements from most reactive to least reactive is:
Mg > Zn > Fe > H > Cu
Explanation: Reactivity of the elements is the tendency of the elements to loose or gain electrons with ease.
As, all the given elements are metals, so the metals which will loose electrons easily will be more reactive. To study the reactivity of metals, we use reactivity series.
The metals which are more reactive are placed on the top of the reactivity series and which are less reactive are placed at the bottom.
Hence, the order of the elements from most reactive to least reactive is:
Mg > Zn > Fe > H > Cu
Reactivity series is attached below.
The word that is in an incorrect place in the chart is HAIL.
The state of matter of hail is not plasma; hail is a solid at room temperature. Plasma refers to the state of matter in which an ionized gas have approximately equal number of positively and negatively charged ions. Thus, plasma is an ionized gas. Plasma is considered to be the fourth state of matter. <span />
Answer:
A non-polar liquid.
Explanation:
Whether a substance dissolves quickly or not depends on how strongly the molecules (or atoms of an element) of a substance are attracted to one another. These interactions between atoms and/or molecules are called intermolecular forces, or IMFs for short. There are several different ones, and these are distinguished from <em>intra</em>molecular forces which are the bonds holding atoms in the molecule together. Attached is a nice little summary of these forces to consider. Our decision lies within the fact that we must pick the substance that experiences the strongest IMF (the one with the most energy). As it turns out, a dipole in a molecule confers some charge distribution on the molecule which makes slightly positive and negative ends. These can attract each other, and it's called dipole-dipole interactions. It can technically happen in a mixture, but let's assume we're dealing with pure substances. Dipoles can only form in polar compounds however, so a non-polar liquid (which is composed of non-polar molecules), will lack these dipoles and therefore cannot form dipole-dipole interactions between the molecules. This results in only having something called dispersion forces (which really every molecule attraction has - so this is the only one). It is very weak, and since the attraction between these molecules is weak, they will tend to come apart, and evaporate. You can think of the IMFs like glue, and a weak glue will not hold the molecules together well, and they will evaporate away.
On the other hand, polar (from dipole interactions) compounds can have general dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen-bonding interactions (which is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction). H-bonding requires a Hydrogen bonded to either a Nitrogen, Oxygen, or Fluorine to do this. The main thing, is the non-polar ones don't have a dipole, and so they can't form a good intermolecular bond and evaporate quickly.
Water can H-bond, which is why it takes so long to dry and for it to evaporate in general. Nail polish, which is really a solution of acetone, has considerably weaker dipole-dipole bonds (compared to H-bonds), and evaporates quicker than water. Hope this helps!
