Smaller atoms and stronger bonds

Option A. Smaller atoms and stronger bonds.

Smaller the size of the atoms, less will be the distance between positive charge nucleus of one atom and electrons (negative charge) of other atom. This results in strong interaction between them.

Also, stronger bonds are difficult to break, making the minerals harder. Thus, small atoms and strong bonds in minerals makes then harder than the minerals with weak bonds or larger atoms.

Chemistry omg need help plz I need plz. I real badly at it and try to get better but plz help me
Rufina [12.5K]
We all struggle in some subjects, you do badly when you don't try, and sometimes we try and can't get the answer, I'll help with that. :)

The first answer is CO2(g), CO2 is a gas, and all gas have... 4) No definite shape, no definite volume.

A piece of ice, a block of wood, and a ceramic cup are solids. They have shapes that do not change and volumes that can be measured. Any matter that is a solid has a definite shape and a definite volume.

A liquid takes the shape of what holds it, besides a flat surface, which will just evidently, take the shape of a flat surface. A liquid has a definite volume, because the volume of a liquid is constant because forces of attraction keep the particles loosely together.

Gases attempt to fill a container of any shape or size. Therefore, it has no definite shape.
There are forces of attraction among the particles in all matter, therefore, it has no definite volume.

The second question might become easier with the explanation above. A liquid has a definite volume because the forces of attraction are loosely together! Therefore, it has a definite volume, but it will take the shape of it's container.

This means... Yes! 2) It retains its original volume but changes shape.

This one is easy. To convert one gram of a solid at its normal heating point to a liquid at the same temperature, is the 1) Heat of Vaporization.

Heat of Vaporization is the amount of heat energy required to convert one gram of a substance from a liquid to a gas.

The third question, the molecules for H20, in a solid phase are always in an geometric and arranged pattern.

Most solids are arranged in geometric and arranged patterns, and since H20 is not in its indefinitely shaped liquid phase, it has a definite shape and thus, retains a repeating (geometric) pattern.

(Note- Some solids like wax or rubber do not have an arranged or geometric pattern.)

The “average of a kinetic energy” is defined as the vitality of movement of particles of a framework.

Or in simpler terms, “energy motion”.

So when temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of a molecule(s) 1) increases.
