Inter-molecular forces. The greater the attraction between particles the more energy required to break the forces or "melt" them.

The answer is: the type of bonding among the particles.

For example, calcium oxide (CaO) has ionic bonds between calcium cations (Ca²⁺) and oxygen anions (O²⁻).

Because it has strong ionic bonds, it has high melting point (around 2600°C).

Ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (cations and anions).

Amount of energy required to change 1 gram of material from the solid to the liquid state at its melting point

9474 millimeters to centimeters using scientific notation showing work
puteri [66]

Answer:

9.474 x 10^2

Explanation:

ok. first you have to get the value in the required unit so 9474mm/(10mm/cm) = 947.4 so scientific notation states that the number must be raised to any power of an integer and the value of the number being raised must be less than than 10 and more than or equal to 1

so it must have one digit in front so.. 947.4 becomes 9.474 and because you move 2 places to the left, ur power is positive 2

and proof 10^2 is 100 so multiply 9.474 by 100 and u will get 947.4 cm which is also 9474 mm

Explain the importance of carbon's ability to form covalent bonds in straight chains, branched chains, or rings.
viktelen [127]
Carbon is the element at the heart of all organic compounds, and it is such a versatile element because of its ability to form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. Because these chains and rings can have all sorts of different functional groups in all sorts of different ways (giving the compond all sorts of different physical and chemical properties), carbon's ability to form the backbone of these large structures is critial to the existence of most chemical compounds known to man. Above all, the organic molecules crucial to the biochemical systems that govern living organisms depend on carbon compounds.

What is the percent by mass of water in Na2SO4 • 10H2O?
bulgar [2K]
We determine the percent by mass of water in the compound by dividing the mass of  water by the total mass. The total mass of Na2SO4.10H2O is equal to 322 g. The mass of water is 180 g. 
       
                    percent by mass of water = (180 / 322)*(100 %) = 55.9%
