Answer:

When an element or substance is in a liquid state, the particles are joined by less attractive forces than in solids, for this reason the particles of a liquid can move freely.For this reason the particles of a liquid can move freely and need a recipient that contains them .

Liquids have a defined volume but with a variable shape, this means that liquids adopt the shape of the container but always occupy the same space

For example, if we have 4 L of water in a round container, its shape is round and now we put the water in a square container, its shape is now square but its volume is still 4 L (it continues to occupy the same space)

Below is a phase diagram for Carbon Dioxide. Use this diagram to answer the following question.
kompoz [17]
If you mark those points on the phase diagram it appears to be moving from vapor to liquid. If you can’t see how I determined that please let me know and I can further explain.

Vapor to liquid is the same as saying gas to liquid, which I believe to be the correct answer.

Which two trends increase when one moves across a period from left to right?
Sophie [7]

Answer is: a) ionization energy and electronegativity.

1) The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).  

Barium, potassium and arsenic are metals (easily lost valence electrons), chlorine is nonmetal (easily gain electrons).

Alkaline metals (far left in Periodic table) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron), earth alkaline metals (next right to alkaline metals) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.  

Nonmetals are far right in the main group and they have highest ionization energy, because they have many valence electrons.  

2) Electronegativity (χ) is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.  

Atoms with higher electronegativity attracts more electrons towards it, electrons are closer to that atom.  

Nonmetals hava higher electronegativity than metals and metalloids.

3) The atomic radius decreases across the periods because an increasing number of protons, because greater attraction between the protons and electrons.

Which of the following is not a type of biomolecule?
Degger [83]

Answer:

Nucleic acids are not considered nutrients. There are thousands of different types of molecules in a cell, but there are only four major classes of biomolecules. These are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are compounds such as sugars and starches
