The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.
For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.
You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.
You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.
So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.
Answer:
C. number of particles
Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of disorderliness of a system. Remember that when you dissolve salt in water, you increase the number of particles in the solution. The greater the number of particles in solution, the greater the entropy of the solution system.
Hence dissolution of a salt in water increases the entropy by increasing the number of particles in solution leading to the inequality; Ssolution > Swater + Ssalt.
Explanation:
When we add a non-volatile solute in a solvent then due to the impurity added to the solution there will occur an increase in the boiling point of the solution.
This increase in boiling point will be known as elevation in boiling point.
As one beaker contains seawater (water having NaCl) will have some impurity in it. So, more temperature is required by seawater to escape into the atmosphere.
Whereas another beaker has only pure water so it is able to easily escape into the atmosphere since, it contains no impurity.
Thus, we can conclude that level of pure water will decrease more due to non-volatile solute present in it as compared to seawater.
