Explanation:

The dipoles in CO are in opposite directions so they cancel each other out, although CO₂ has polar bonds, it is a nonpolar molecule. Therefore, the only intermolecular forces are London dispersion forces. Water (H2O) has hydrogen bond present which is a polar bond which has a high intermolecular force.

Water which has high intermolecular force will require more energy that is a higher temperature to overcome these attractions and are pulled together tightly to form a solid at higher temperatures, so their freezing point is higher.

As the temperature of a liquid decreases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules decreases and they move more slowly.

CO with lower intermolecular forces will not solidify until the temperature is lowered further.

yan [13]

Answer:

The ionization energy (in kJ/mol) of the helium ion is 21,004.73 kJ/mol .

Explanation:

E_n = -(2.18 10-18 J)\times \frac{Z^2}{n^2}

Z = atomic mass

n = principal quantum number

Energy of the electron in n=1,

E_1= -(2.18 10^{-18} J)\times \frac{4^2}{1^2}=-3.488\times 10^{-17} J

Energy of the electron in n = ∞

E_{\infty}= -(2.18 10^{-18} J)\times \frac{2^2}{\infty ^2}=0 J

Ionization energy of the He^+ ion:

I.E=E_{infty}-E_1=0-(-3.488\times 10^{-17} J)=3.488\times 10^{-17} J

I.E=3.488\times 10^{-20} kJ

To convert in into kj/mol multiply it with N_A=6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}

I.E=3.488\times 10^{-20} kJ\times 6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}=21,004.73kJ/mol

During photosynthesis, plant cells use sunlight as an energy source; animal cells cannot do this. What substance do Animal cells
8090 [49]

Answer:

Chlorophyll

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process through which plant cells use carbon dioxide & water to create oxygen & energy rich organic compounds. They do so by converting sunlight ie light energy into chemical energy. This is possible due to presence of chlorophyll in them. Animals can't do so, as they dont have chlorophyll.
