The prefix 'di' means two. Hence two atoms make up a diatomic molecule.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
An atom consists of a positively charged nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called electrons. The positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral.
The d subshell has 5 orbitals (with each being able to hold two electrons. As such, the d orbital can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.
<span>The "d" subshell can hold a maximum of _TEN_ electrons.</span>
Answer is: the combined ionic bond strength of CrCl₂ and intermolecular forces between water molecules.
When chromium chloride (CrCl₂) is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water increases, heat of the solution is endothermic.
Dissociation of chromium chloride in water: CrCl₂(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).
Energy (the lattice energy) is required to pull apart the oppositely charged ions in chromium chloride.
The heat of hydration is liberated energy when the separated ions (in this example chromium cations and chlorine anions) attract polar water molecules.
Because the lattice energy is higher than the heat of the hydration (endothermic reaction), we can conclude that bonds between ions are strong (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).
<span>Answer: B. Ionic solids have higher melting points than molecular solids.

This is because the rest are false, as solids are able to melt, and do have melting points. Also, not all solids have the same melting points.
