The particles within the solid are held together in a tight lattice, and for them to become a liquid, they have to overcome this attraction and flow more freely. Energy is required to overcome this attraction, which is why melting is an endothermic process.

Answer:

Energy must be added to a solid to cause it to melt an example of an energy that will do this is thermal energy.  When thermal energy is added to the ice it will make the molecules vibrate a lot faster causing the ice to melt.

A gold nugget has a density of 38.6g/cm3 and a mass of 270.2. what is its volume?​
aivan3 [116]

Density is given by the equation D=m/V, were D is density, m is mass in grams, and V is volume in cubic centimeters.


In this problem, we have density and we have mass so we can plug into the equation and solve for V.

38.6=270.2/V

<em>*Multiply both sides by V*</em>

38.6V=270.2

<em>*Divide both sides by 38.6*</em>

V=7


The volume of the gold nugget is 7cm3.


Hope this helps!!

What was John Dalton's contribution to the development of the atomic theory?
Lorico [155]

John Dalton made some hypothesis about the structure of atom. He proposed that matter is composed of great number of indivisible particles called atoms they can neither be destroyed nor be created.

<h3>What is atomic theory?</h3>

There are different theories regarding the structure and electronic properties of an atom. Many scientists contributed to the modern theory of atomic structure in which John Dalton was first to mention the word atom.

According to Dalton' theory, matter is composed of indivisible particles called atoms. Atoms can neither be created nor be destroyed. All the atoms of the same element are identical in all aspects.

Atoms of different elements are different and the compounds are formed by the combination of atoms.  Dalton's theory provided a sound basis for the laws of chemical combination and also several properties of gases and liquids known at that time.

However, he could not explain the reason for chemical combination of atoms and did not give any idea about the existence of isotopes and isobars.

Hence, the main aspects of Dalton's theory was the indivisibility of atoms and the chances of chemical combination.
