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).

How many molecules of he are contained in a 10.0 l tank at 7.53 atm and 485 k?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

1.126 x 10^22

Explanation:

pV = nRT

7.53 x 10 = n x 8.31 x 485

n = (7.53 x 10) / (8.31 x 485) = 0.0187 moles

M = n x Avogadros number

0.0187 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 1.126 x 10^22

Consider a gas in a container that can adjust its volume to maintain constant pressure. Suppose the gas is cooled. What happens
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The volume will also decrease.

Explanation:

This illustration clearly indicates Boyle's law.

Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature, provided the pressure remains constant. Mathematically, it is represented as:

V & T

V = KT

K = V/T

V1/T1 = V2/T2 =... = Vn/Tn

Where:

T1 and T2 are the initial and final temperature respectively, measured in Kelvin.

V1 and V2 are the initial and final volume of the gas respectively.

From the illustration above, the volume is directly proportional to the temperature. This implies that as the temperature increases, the volume will also increase and as the temperature decreases, the volume also will decrease.

A molecule that forms when atoms of the same element bond together is called a(n)________
Mice21 [21]

Answer: element.


Justification:


1) A molecule is the union of two or more atoms.


2) When two or more atoms of different elements bond together, the molecule formed is a compound.


For example: one atoms of hydrogen and one atom of chlorine form the molecule HCl, which is a compound (hydrogen chloride).


3) When the molecules is formed by two atoms of the same element, it is not called a compound, but element. Some examples of this are the diatomic gases:


H₂: hydrogen


Cl₂: chlorine


Br₂: bromine


O₂: oxygen


S₂: sulfur


N₂: nitrogen.

In a liquid, the energy required to increase the surface of the area by a unit amount is called :a.dipole-dipole force. b.viscos
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

D. Surface tension.

Explanation:

Surface tension is defined as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit amount.

The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules:

A molecule in a liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions while molecules at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.
