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.

When a substance undergoes a chemical change, the product exhibits different physical properties than the starting material. Des
elena55 [62]

Answer:

I) Change in solubility

II) Change in boiling point

III) Change in colour

Explanation:

A chemical change involves formation of new products and is not reversible.

So, once two liquid solutions are mixed and a chemical change takes place, the new product will have the following:

- a new solubility rate, i.e it will dissolve at a rate different from the two liquid solution

- a new boiling point i.e it takes a new point at which its molecules liberate to yield vapour

- a new colour might be detected, as the individual solution each has its own colour

Trans-2-butene does not exhibit a signal in the double-bond region of the spectrum (1600–1850 cm−1); however, ir spectroscopy is
Elza [17]
However <em>trans</em>-2-Butene does not give a characteristic peak in 1620-1680 cm⁻¹ region but still the presence of carbon double bond carbon can be detected by detecting following peaks in IR Spectrum.

1)  3010-3100 cm⁻¹:
                               As in trans-2-Butene a hydrogen atoms ate attached to sp² hybridized carbon, therefore the stretching of =C-H (C-H) bond will give a peak of medium intensity in the range of 3010-3100 cm⁻¹.

2)  675-1000 cm⁻¹:
                             Another peak which is given by the bending of =C-H (C-H) bond with strong intensity will appear in the range of 675-1000 cm⁻¹.
