Answer:

Water has a higher boiling point because the hydrogen bonds that form water molecules are stronger than the Van der Waals interactions among methane molecules, therefor more energy must be provided in order to break the hydrogen bonds and allow the water molecules to escape the liquid state.

An atom of Fe has 30 neutrons. What is the mass number of this atom?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

56

Explanation:

The mass number of an atom is a sum of its number of protons and neutrons. Iron (Fe) has an atomic number of 26. This means that it has 26 protons. Since we know it has 26 protons and are told it has 30 neutrons. The mass number of this atom of Iron is 26+30 = 56

Hope this helped!

Explain why the electron configuration of 2-3-1 represents an atom in an excited state?
baherus [9]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.

This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.

However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.

A train travels at a speed of 30 miles per hour. If 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers, how fast is the train traveling in kilometers per m
Alina [70]
The answer 
 the speed of <span>the train traveling in kilometers per minute can be found by using the following method:
v = </span><span>30 miles per hour
</span><span>1 mile = 1.6 kilometers

just do the calculus by changing miles to kilometers
 </span>1 mile = 1.6 kilometers, so 30 miles= 1.6 km x 30 = 48 km
 so the speed of the train is
v=30 miles / hour = 48km / h = 48km / 60 mn  = 0.8 km/ mn
the answer is
<span>C- 0.8 km/min</span>
