Answer:
Carbon dioxide
Explanation:
Neither helium nor carbon dioxide has a molecular dipole, so their strongest van der Waals attractive forces are London forces.
Helium is a small spherical atom with only a two electrons, so its atoms have quite weak attractions to each other.
CO₂ is a large linear molecule. It has more electrons than helium, so the attractive forces are greater. Furthermore, the molecules can align themselves compactly side-by-side and maximize the attractions (see below).
For example. CO₂ becomes a solid at -78 °C, but helium must be cooled to -272 °C to make it freeze (that's just 1 °C above absolute zero).
Answer:
Se detailed explanation.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since both magnesium and calcium ions are in group IIA, we can review the following similar properties:
- Since both calcium and magnesium are in group IIA they have two valence electrons, it means that the both of them have two electrons at their outer shells.
- They are highly soluble in water when forming ionic bonds with nonmetals such as those belonging to halogens and oxygen's family.
- Calcium has 18 electrons and magnesium 10 which are two less than the total protons (20 and 12 respectively) since the both of them have lost two electrons due their ionized form.
- Their electron configurations are:
It means that the both of them are at the region since it is the last subshell at which their electrons are.
Best regards.
