Answer:
i) The bond angle decreases due to the presence of lone pairs, which causes more repulsion on the bond pairs and as a result, the bond pairs tend to come closer. ii) The repulsion between electron pairs increases with an increase in electronegativity of the central atom and hence the bond angle increases.
Explanation:
Answer:
Forces between similar molecules are said to be <em>cohesive</em> while those between different types of molecules are said to be <em>adhesive</em>.
Water 'beads' due to its strong <em>cohesive</em> forces. The meniscus of water in a glass tube is <em>concave</em> because the <em>adhesive</em> forces are strong.
Explanation:
The water in a tube has stronger adhesive forces between the water and glass molecules, so the cohesive forces between water molecules are weaker. That makes the water 'ascend' through the tube, giving a concave form of the meniscus. Another example is mercury, which is the opposite. In this case, the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive ones, thus the meniscus is convex.
The two properties of most non metals are high ionization energy and poor electrical conductivity. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "1".
In general it is known that nonmetals are very poor
conductors of heat and electricity. The nonmetals that are solid are normally
very brittle and has very little or no metallic luster at all. Nonmetals are
highly reactive and show variety of chemical properties. It can also be pointed
out that the nonmetals gain electrons very easily.
Answer:
yes, it is a homogeneous mixture because the different parts cannot be seen.
Explanation:
Answer: If a mineral contains only atoms of oxygen and metal, it is most likely an oxide mineral.
