Chemistry

Roughly, Aufbau Principle says that in an atom or an ion, electrons enter the shell with low energy first before entering the shell with high energy.

An atom has shells around its nucleus. Electrons enter these shells and orbit around the nucleus of an atom. To say about the properties of these shells, the shell nearest to the nucleus has the lowest energy. The farther the shell from the nucleus, the higher its energy. Aufbau Principle states that electrons enter the closest shell to the nucleus first since it has the lowest energy. When that shell has its maximum number of electrons is can hold, then the next electron will enter the second-closest shell to the nucleus, which has higher energy than the first shell.

A sample has a mass of 1.2 g and a volume of 1.1 cm? What is the density of this sample?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Density is a physical quantity, defined as the ratio of body mass to the volume occupied by this body.  The average body density is the ratio of body weight to its volume.

Since the mass in a body can be distributed unevenly, a more adequate model defines the density at each point of the body as a derivative of mass over volume.

Thus, to obtain the density of a sample, its mass must be divided by its volume. Thus, the density of the sample is 1.2 / 1.1, that is, 1.09 g/cm3.

Rank the compounds NH3, CH4, and PH3 in order of decreasing boiling point. Choices: A) NH3 > CH4 > PH3 B) CH4 > NH3 &gt
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

C) NH3 > PH3 > CH4

Explanation:

The boiling point of a substance depends on the nature of intermolecular interaction between the molecules of the substance. The greater the magnitude of intermolecular interaction between the molecules of the substance, the higher the boiling point of the substance.

Both NH3 and PH3 have intermolecular hydrogen bonding between their molecules. However, since nitrogen is more electronegative than phosphorus, the magnitude of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in NH3 is greater than in PH3 hence NH3 has a higher boiling point than PH3.

CH4 molecules only have weak dispersion forces between them hence they exhibit the lowest boiling point.

Was the french revolution driving force behind the metric system?
goblinko [34]

Answer:

yes, they were

Explanation:

The history of the metric system began in the Age of Enlightenment with notions of length and weighttaken from natural ones, and decimal multiples and fractions of them. The system became the standard of France and Europe in half a century. Other dimensions with unity ratios[Note 1] were added, and it went on to be adopted by the world.
