Answer:

So... yes :)

Explanation:

Viruses are nonliving agents that depend on the host cell that they are infecting to reproduce. They are bundles of genetic material enclosed in a capsid (some viruses have an additional layer called the viral envelop). Viruses can only thrive and replicate inside the environment of a living cell of other organisms. Viruses adapt to the environment (the cell) they are in by infecting the entire cell. Viruses can infect other nearby cells by infecting its genetic code (either DNA or RNA) and spread. Viruses develop and spread by attaching its protein tail to a receptor site on the host cell wall and injecting its genetic material into the host cell. The virus can then take over the cell and spread to infect other cells in a similar way. This is how viruses replicate. Outside of the host cell, most viruses are inert.

Yes, I do think it’s possible because if viruses spread, (like corona), then it could definitley evolve into something worse than a sickness.

Which phase change results with increased kinetic energy?

weqwewe [10]

An increase in kinetic energy corresponds to an increase in temperature. Out of boiling, condensation, freezing, and precipitation, boiling is the only one that indicates an increase in temperature.

Which conversion factor correctly shows the relationship between moles and representative particles?

strojnjashka [21]

This is given by Avogagro number: 1 mol = 6.02*10^23 particles

Then you can do whichever to these two relations, because they are equivalent:

- 1mol / 6.02*10^23 representative particles, and
- 6.02*10^23 representative particle /1 mol

Only the second option of the question includes one of the valid conversion factors. Then, the conversion factor of the second option is the right answer

Name two compounds with more exothermic lattice energies than scandium oxide and justify your choice.

N76 [4]

Answer:

1 . $Al_2O_3$

2. $TiO_2$

Explanation:

The more stable the ionic compound, the more is it lattice energy.

The more the charge on the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
The less the size of the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.

Scandium oxide ( $Sc_2O_3$ ) is an oxide in which $Sc^{3+}$ behaves as cation and $O^{2-}$ behaves as anion.

The compounds which has higher lattice energy than scandium oxide are:

1 . $Al_2O_3$

This is because the charge are same on the cation and the anion as in the case of the Scandium oxide but the size of the cation $Al^{3+}$ is smaller than $Sc^{3+}$ . Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

2. $TiO_2$

This is because the charge on the cation $Ti^{4+}$ is greater than that of $Sc^{3+}$ and also the size of the cation $Ti^{4+}$ is smaller than $Sc^{3+}$ . Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.
