So, we have:
- molecular weight
- shape
- temperature
- kinetic energy
- mass
- density

Let's rule out the different options.
- molecular weight: Say you have a molecule of H2O. H2O can be a solid, liquid, or gas, but its molecular weight never changes throughout (It's still the same molecule, no matter what phase it is in). We can rule this out.

- shape: Let's pretend we have three identical closed containers, and we fill each one halfway with water, blocks of ice cubes, and water vapor. In the container with water, you will see that the water takes the shape of the container, but doesn't fill the entire container up. The ice cubes will stay ice cubes, assuming they don't melt, so they don't take the shape of the container. The vapor will fill up the entire container. Since all three are different, I would say yes, this could be a distinguishable feature.

- temperature: In general, I would say no, because every element/molecule has different boiling points and different vaporization points. So if you have a liquid at 5°C, you could also have a different element in solid form at 5°C. But if you're comparing a single type of molecule, it would have a boiling point and a vaporization point, so you <em>would</em> be able to tell between them.

- kinetic energy: Kinetic energy refers to how much movement there is in respect to each molecule. In solids, the molecules are packed tightly together and can't move very much, so they have lower kinetic energy. In liquids, they are less packed, but still restricted. And in gases, they can fly freely, so they will have much more kinetic energy than liquids or solids. This one's a yes.

- mass: No matter what form, there are still the same amount of molecules, and each molecule has the same mass as before. It won't change.

- density: Since the molecules are more spread out in gases, it will be less dense. Liquids will be more dense, and solids will have the greatest density. So, yes.

Conclusion: shape, kinetic energy, density, (and temperature if it's talking about a single type of molecule)

iogann1982 [59]
Use the coefficients as a ratio. 1:6 = x:24. You can write these as fractions and cross multiply, 6x=24. Solve and x=4, so four molecules would be needed

What is the threshold frequency ν0 of cesium?
Montano1993 [528]
 I think this is what you're after:

 Cs(g) → Cs^+ + e⁻ ΔHIP = 375.7 kJ mol^-1 [1] 


Convert to J and divide by the Avogadro Const to give E in J per photon 


E = 375700/6.022×10^23 = 6.239×10^-19 J 


Plank relationship E = h×ν E in J ν = frequency (Hz s-1) 


Planck constant h = 6.626×10^-34 J s 


6.239×10^-19 = (6.626×10^-34)ν 


ν = 9.42×10^14 s^-1 (Hz) 


IP are usually given in ev Cs 3.894 eV 


<span>E = 3.894×1.60×10^-19 = 6.230×10^-19 J per photon </span>

In which set do all elements tend to form anions in binary ionic compounds? li, na, k n, o, i c, s, pb k, fe, br?
pav-90 [236]

Atoms or molecule after gaining of electron possesses negative charge and is known as anion.

For the given sets:

  • Li, Na, K

The given elements are alkali metals and have tendency to lose electrons easily and form cations.

  • N, O, I

The given elements are non-metals and are electronegative. So, they gain electrons easily and form anion.

  • C, S, Pb

Carbon has tendency to form bond by sharing of electrons, Sulfur has tendency to gain electrons and form anion whereas Lead has tendency to lose electron.

  • K, Fe, Br

Potassium and Iron has tendency to lose electron and form cation whereas Bromine has tendency to gain electron to form anion.

Hence, from the given sets, all elements of set: N, O, I have tendency to form anions in binary ionic compounds.
