The existence of an atom was first suggested by Democritus, the idea is then developed in 1803 by John Dalton.
According to Dalton's atomic theory, matter is made up of atoms which are inseparable and can not be destroyed further. For a given element, all atoms have identical mass and properties. Atoms of two different elements combine to form compounds and rearrangement of these atoms results in chemical reaction.
Packing
Explanation:
Ionic crystals are brittle due to the tight packing of their crystals. This provides little to no mobility between one another.
- Brittleness implies having little to no elasticity.
- Ionic crystals are held together by strong crystal lattice forces
- These forces prevents crystals from freely rotating and moving space.
- It holds them rigidly and fixed in place.
- Ionic crystals are hard and held electrostatic forces.

If the half-life of a sample of a radioactive substance is 30 seconds, how much would be left after 60 seconds? <span>
A. one-fourth</span>
write the equation for the reaction
that is 6 F2 +P4 =4 PF3
find the theoretical mass that is
let the theoretical yield be represented by y
theoretical yield = 78.1/100 = 120/y
y= 153.6 grams
find the number of moles of PF3
moles = mass/molar mass
= 153.6/87.97 =1.746 moles
by use of mole ratio between F2 :PF3 which is 6:4 the moles of F2 is therefore= 1.746 x 6/4 = 2.62 moles
mass = moles x molar mass
= 1.746 moles x38 g/mol = 99.6 grams
Answer:
B) the chemicals are gaining energy from the surroundings.
Explanation:
The positive sign of the energy difference in a chemical reaction would indicate that the chemicals are gaining energy from the surroundings. This is what happens in an endothermic reaction.
In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings hence the surrounding becomes colder at the end of the changes.
- Here the energy change is assigned a positive value.
- This is because the heat energy level of the final state is higher than that of the initial state.
- So, the difference gives a positive value.
