If they didn't, they wouldn't be able to communicate their findings effectively. An international language is especially important for elements because many elements have similar properties (e.g. some of the transition metals).
Explanation:
In liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have medium kinetic energy.
In gases, the molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. Hence, they have high kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly from one place to another leading to more number of collisions.
So, when at 298 K and 1 atm
exists in liquid state and
exists as a gas then it means there occurs strong force of attraction between the molecules of
due to which it exists in liquid form.
Thus, we can conclude that at 298 K and 1 atm, bromine is a liquid with a high vapor pressure, whereas chlorine is a gas. This provides evidence that, under these conditions, the forces among
molecules are greater than those among
molecules.
Using the periodic table, the pair of non metals that has the most similar properties would be :
Oxygen and Selenium
at the periodic table, these both located on the same period
hope this helps
The Atomic Number and Atomic Mass of ¹⁸O₈ are 8 and 18 respectively.
Atomic Number:
Atomic Number of Element is the Number of Protons contained by the Element. So, there are 8 Protons in ¹⁸O₈.
Atomic Mass:
Atomic Mass of Element is the total number of Protons and Neutrons present in the Nucleus of that element.
So,
Atomic Mass = # of Protons + # of Neutrons
As the Atomic mass of ¹⁸O₈ is 18 and it has 8 protons, So # of Neutrons are calculated as,
# of Neutrons = Atomic Mass - # of Protons
# of Neutrons = 18 - 8
# of Neutrons = 10
Result:
In ¹⁸O₈ Number of Neutrons are 10, Number of Protons are 8.
Z = 8 , n = 10
