Why does naphthalene have a higher melting point than biphenyl?

Chemistry
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]3 years ago
4 0

<span>Naphthalene has a higher melting point than biphenyl because naphthalene is a polar compound while biphenyl is a non-polar compound.</span> Studies show <span>that polar compounds have higher melting and boiling points than nonpolar compounds. It is because polar compounds have strong intermolecular forces.</span>

Consider the following types of electromagnetic radiation:
liq [111]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave              Wavelength

(1) Microwave  =   1 m to 1 mm = 10^9 nm to 10^6 nm

(2) Ultraviolet  =    10 nm to 400 nm

(3) Radio waves  =   1 mm to 100 km = 10^6 nm to 10^{14}nm

(4) Infrared  =    700 nm to 1 mm

(5) X-ray  =   0.01 nm to 10 nm

(6) Visible =   400 nm t0 700 nm

a) In order of increasing wavelength:

: 5 < 2 < 6 < 4 < 1 < 3

b) Frequency of the electromagnetic wave given as:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu = frequency

\lambda = Wavelength

c = speed of light

\nu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda }

So, the increasing order of frequency:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5

c) Energy(E) of the electromagnetic wave is given by Planck's equation :

E=h\nu

E\propto \nu

So, the increasing order of energy:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5

Which statements about fresh-water sources are true.? (Multiple Choice) (please help asap thanks!:)
Kay [80]

Answer:

The correct answers are:
"Only about 3 percent of Earth's water is fresh water."

"About 75% percent of the fresh water on Earth is frozen in ice sheets."

"The largest source of usable fresh water is groundwater."

Explanation:

3 percent of Earth's water is most certainly fresh water. Confirmed with a few fact checks.

The largest source of usable fresh water on Earth is groundwater. It's more difficult to access but it's there and much more usable than water say frozen in ice on the sea.

The most correct option left would be 75% of Earth's freshwater being in ice sheets even though it's about 70%.

What two categorical ways of thinking about matter are discussed in the passage?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

There's no passage but I can say that matter are that ''thing'' which extend through all Universe, matter is everything. It can be seen or felt as liquid, gas or solid. This changes of its state depend on the amount of energy that is involved.

So, here is used categorical thinking because is a abstract concept that is hard to understand sometimes. It's abstract when we say that matter is all, not  just what we see, but even what we don't see like ''Dark Matter'', which is the majority in the Universe.
