Now, examine the structures of benzhydrol and fluorene. Both compounds contain the same number of carbons but have very differen

t melting points. At first glance, one might expect benzhydrol to exhibit the higher melting point. Why might one think this?

Answer:

The OH group

Explanation:

Benzhydrol contains OH hydroxyl group in its molecule while fluorene does not. At first glance, one would think that OH, which contributes to hydrogen bonding would causes melting point of benzhydrol to be higher than fluorene. <em>However, </em>the structure of benzhydrol, which is 2 benzene rings connected to center hydroxyl carbon (PhCOHPh), allows for each benzene rings in benzhydrol to rotate until both rings are perpendicular to minimize repulsive force. This prevents the molecule from stacking on each other due to its non flat shape, and thus, lowering its melting point in contrast to flat fluorene molecule.

What happens on a molecular level when a diatomic molecule is a gas but is then cooled to a solid?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

As an example of the processes depicted in this figure, consider a sample of water. When gaseous water is cooled sufficiently, the attractions between H2O molecules will be capable of holding them together when they come into contact with each other; the gas condenses, forming liquid H2O. For example, liquid water forms on the outside of a cold glass as the water vapor in the air is cooled by the cold glass.

Hopefully that helps!

Consider the reaction.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal

Explanation:

In a chemical system, the reaction reaches a dynamic equilibrium when the rate of formation of product equals the rate of formation of reactants. This implies that both the forward and revered(backwards) reaction are occurring at the same rate.

Rank the following atoms in order of decreasing first ionization energies (i.e., highest to lowest): Li, Be, Ba, F.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The order is:

F >Be >Li >Ba

Explanation:

Electrons are held in atoms by their  attraction to the nucleus which means that to remove an electron from the atom energy is needed.

The ionization energy is the minimum energy necessary to remove an electron from an atom in the gas phase and ground state, the electron removed being the outermost, that is, the furthest from the nucleus. The further away the electron is from the nucleus, the easier it is to remove it, that is, the less energy is needed.

By increasing the atomic number of the elements of the same group, the nuclear attraction on the outermost electron decreases, since the atomic radius increases. Then the ionization energy decreases. In other words, in a group it decreases from top to bottom because the size of the atom increases and it is easier to remove an external electron.

By increasing the atomic number of the elements of the same period, the nuclear attraction on the outermost electron increases, since the atomic radius decreases. Therefore, in a period, as the atomic number increases, the ionization energy increases. In summary, in a period it increases from left to right as the effective nuclear charge increases and it increases thanks to the decrease in the size of the atom.

Taking these considerations into account, the order is:

<u><em>F >Be >Li >Ba</em></u>
