Answer:
We slip when we step on a banana peel because the inner side of banana peel being smooth and slippery reduces the friction between the sole of our shoe and the surface of road.
Answer:
The reaction will be spontaneous.
Explanation:
- The change in free energy (ΔG) is the difference between the heat released during a process and the heat released for the same process occurring in a reversible manner.
- The sign of ΔG gives an indication for the spontaneity of the reaction:
If ΔG is negative, the reaction is spontaneous.
If ΔG = zero, the reaction is at equilibrium.
If ΔG is positive, the reaction is non-spontaneous.
It would be Xe because all of the other ones aren't filled up in the correct order which only happens during an excited state.

Answer:
A soap or alcohol will interfere with the hydrogen bonding between water molecules making it weaker
Explanation:
A water molecule is polar as the oxygen atom is strongly electronegative and draws the electrons it shares with the hydrogen atoms in the water molecule to itself. This creates a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms. The attraction of neighboring oxygen to hydrogen atoms in a water molecule results in hydrogen bonding.
However, a detergent molecule which has a polar head and a hydrophobic tail, when added to water significantly interferes with the hydrogen bonding between water molecules. The polar head is attracted to water molecules whereas the hydrophobic tail of each molecule are not. The detergent molecules form clusters known as micelles with the polar heads attracted to water and the hydrophobic tails directed towards the center of the micelle, away from water molecules. This weakens the hydrogen bonding between water molecules
An alcohol contains a polar -OH group in its molecules. However, the hydrogen bonding between alcohol molecules are weaker than that in water because the other end of the alcohol molecule has a C-O bond which is less polar than the O-H bond. Therefore, when an alcohol is added to water, it weakens the hydrogen bonding in water.
This weakening of the hydrogen bonding in water also has the effect of lowering the surface tension of water.
