Do you mean differences among various substances eg: H2O vs CO2? IMFs determine boiling and melting points by deciding how strongly molecules want to hold on to each other. The strength of IMFs depend on the type of IMFs, eg: dipole-dipole, ion-dipole, induced dipole (London dispersion), etc. Weak IMFs= low boiling point. IMFs also determine many other properties including vapor pressure, etc.
Answer:
The coefficients in order are 2, 1, 1
Explanation:
Each side of the reaction needs to have the same number of each element due to conservation of matter.
First I looked at what was uneven, notice there are 2 Na on the left side and 4 Na on the left. The easiest way to fix that is to add a 2 on the Na2HPO4:
2(Na2HPO4)--> Na4P2O7 + H2O
Next take count of each element on both sides to see if the 2 balanced everything:
On the left there are 4 Na, 2 H, 2 P, and 8 O
On the right there are 4 Na, 2 H, 2 P, and 8 O
Since both sides match, you are done!
In the ground state, only one. But for bonding, all three valence electrons are used, and the atom acquires a slightly excited state.
