Potential energy
potential energy is the stored energy an object has, the bike is not moving and it just sitting on the hill, with the stored energy
Answer:
atom -
the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.
atomic mass-
the quantity of matter contained in an atom of an element
atomic weight -
ratio of the average mass of a chemical element's atoms to some standard
protons-
stable subatomic particle that has a positive charge equal in magnitude to a unit of electron charge and a rest mass of 1.67262 × 10−27 kg
electrons-
a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids
neutrons-
a subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen.
energy levels-
one of the stable states of constant energy that may be assumed by a physical system
[used especially of the quantum states of electrons in atoms and of nuclei. — called also energy state.]
Covalent bonds
the interatomic linkage that results from the sharing of an electron pair between two atoms.
ionic bonds
type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.
Valence electrons
a single electron or one of two or more electrons in the outer shell of an atom that is responsible for the chemical properties of the atom.
Lewis Dot Diagram
A way of representing atoms or molecules by showing electrons as dots surrounding the element symbol. One bond is represented as two electrons.
Answer:
The inter-molecular forces holding non-polar compounds together is low compare to that of polar compounds. Therefore, it will take less energy to break the bond for non-polar compounds and vice versa. That is why polar compounds have higher melting points than non-polar compounds.
