Water, H₂O, will have the highest melting point.

Explanation:

So here we have listed the hydrides of oxygen, sulphur, selenium and tellurium.

From this elements oxygen have the highest electronegativity and as a consequence the oxigen hydride (water, hydrogen dioxide) it is able to form hydrogen bonds between molecules. So you need more energy to overcome the interactions between molecules in water that for the other compounds.

Water, H₂O, will have the highest melting point between the listed hydrides.

12.Calculate the wavelength of an object moving with a velocity of 5 x105 m s-1

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Wavelength, $\lambda=3.3\times 10^{-18}\ m$

Explanation:

We have,

Velocity of the object, $v=5\times 10^5\ m/s$

Mass of the object, $m=4\times 10^{-22}\ kg$

It is required to find the wavelength of the object. The relation between wavelength and velocity of the object is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}$

h is Planck's constant

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.6\times 10^{-34}}{4\times 10^{-22}\times 5\times 10^5}\\\\\lambda=3.3\times 10^{-18}\ m$

So, the wavelength of the object is $3.3\times 10^{-18}\ m$ .
