Which type of substance is soft, has a low melting point, and is a poor conductor of electricity

Chemistry
1 answer:
In-s [12.5K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Covalent compounds have low forces of attraction between their molecules (i.e. one H2O molecule isn't as attracted to another H2O molecule than the oppositely charges ions are in an ionic compound). Little energy is needed to break their bonds, therefore they have low meting points. Hope this is what you are looking for!

Buffer consists of undissociated acid (ha) and the ion made by dissociating the acid (a-). How does this system buffer a solutio
docker41 [41]

In buffer solution there is an equilibrium between the acid  HA and its conjugate base A⁻: HA(aq) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).

When acid (H⁺ ions) is added to the buffer solution, the equilibrium is shifted to the left, because conjugate base (A⁻) reacts with hydrogen cations from added acid, according to Le Chatelier's principle: H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) ⇄ HA(aq). So, the conjugate base (A⁻) consumes some hydrogen cations and pH is not decreasing (less H⁺ ions, higher pH of solution).

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable

Which bond will each pair of elements form?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Explanation: Sodium is a metal with a low electronegativity it will form an ionic bond with a non metal with a high electronegativity.

Both Florine and Sulfur are non metals with high electronegativity.

Neon is a noble gas family VIII A and normally doesn't form any bonds at all.

Enter the chemical formula of a binary molecular compound of hydrogen and a Group 6A element that can reasonably be expected to
NARA [144]

Answer:

Any binary molecular compound of hydrogen and a Group 6A element above Selenium will be less acidic, so water and dihydrogen sulfide are less acidic in aqueous solution than hydrogen selenide.

Explanation:

Going down in a group increases the atomic radius and a greater atomic radius implyes greater ionic radius.  

When ionization takes place in these compounds they yelds protons (hidrogen ion) and an lewis base (anion). The greater the ionic radius the greater its stability, thus the periodic tendency is increaing the acidity of binary hidrogen compounds when going down a group. On the other hand going up a group decreases acidity, so any molecular compound of hydrogen and a Group 6A element above Selenium will be less acidic, so water and dihydrogen sulfide are less acidic in aqueous solution than hydrogen selenide.

Which has a greater surface tension: H20 or CH3CH2CH2CL? Explain
natali 33 [55]

Water will have higher surface tension.

Explanation:

There are strong hydrogen bonds and strong intermolecular forces present in water. Water is polar in nature that is why surface tension is present in it. The force of attraction between the particles is the main factor for surface tension.

The cohesion force in the liquid causes surface tension.

Since the other substance is acetone which does not form strong intermolecular forces hence it has low value of surface tension. They have low cohesive forces and get stick to the surface and are spilled instead of attaining minimal volume.
