Compare the viscosity property of solid and liquid. ​

Chemistry

Nitella [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer

There is nothing like viscosity in solid because most of the solids usually have a rigid body. This is due to strong intermolecular forces. And it is due to this strong force between the molecules that they are unable to move and they remain fixed at their position. Some solids such as graphite which have layered structure, don't possess the property of viscosity, because of the strong force between the layers.

Explanation:

Viscosity is the property of a fluid that opposes the relative motion between two surfaces of the fluid that are moving at different velocities. In simple terms, viscosity means friction between the molecules of fluid.

FOR EXAMPLE

water is "thin", having a low viscosity, while vegetable oil is "thick" having a high viscosity

The change in direction of all free-moving objects ?
Makovka662 [10]
Moving in a direction is called having a "velocity". A velocity is just having a speed, but only in one direction. Because of a thing called "Newton's First Law", in order to change the speed or direction of an object, it must be accelerated, which is a fancy way of saying it's velocity must change with respect to time, meaning that for every second it travels while be accelerated, its velocity will change by this much, either in speed or direction or both. Due to "Newton's Second Law", and acceleration is gained by applying a force. Using the equation "F = ma" where F is force applied, m is mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object. This means that it is harder to move things with more mass.
Specifically relating to change in direction, force is also a thing which has a direction. A force can be any size, and also have any direction. When a force is applied in a certain direction, the acceleration of the object will be in the same direction of the force.

N the experiment, we examined the melting points of naphthalene and phenol. which factor contributed the most to the difference
creativ13 [48]
Answer is: t<span>he greater size of the naphthalene molecule.
Naphthalene (C</span>₁₀H₈) has melting point 80°C and phenol (C₆H₅OH) has melting point of 40,5°C. 
Naphthalene has greater molecular mass (128,17 g/mol) and greater size than phenol (<span>94,11 g/mol).
</span><span>The melting point of solid is defined as the temperature at which the solid exists in equilibrium with its liquid under an external pressure of one atmosphere.</span>

What is the oxidation number of Chlorine in NaClO4?
Sholpan [36]
The oxidation number of chlorine can be determined by identifying first the oxidation numbers of oxygen and Na. Oxygen has a charge of -2 and has a total of -8. Na has +1. To make the total zero, Cl has to have a charge of +7.

Which of the following is a possible Noble gas notation? [Xe] 6s26p6 [Kr] 5s25d85p6 [Xe] 6s25d106p4 [Kr] 5s24d105p6
Mice21 [21]

Answer is: [Kr] 5s24d105p6.

1) [Xe] 6s²6p⁶ is not correct, because element with atomic number 62 (54 + 8) is samarium with electron configuration [Xe] 6s²4f⁶.

Xenon (Xe) is noble gas with atomic number 54, which means it has 54 protons and 54 electrons.

Electron configuration of xenon atom:  

₅₄Xe 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁶.

2) [Kr] 5s²5d⁸5p⁶ is not correct, because element with atomic number 52 (36 + 16) is tellurium.

Tellurium (Te) is an element with atomic number 52 (52 protons and 52 electrons), it is in group 16 (chalcogens) and period 5 (principal quantum number n = 5, which means it has 5 electrons shell) of Periodic table.

Electron configuration of tellurium atom:

₅₂Te 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁴ or [Kr] 4d¹⁰5s²5p⁶.

Krypton is a chemical element with symbol Kr and atomic number 36, which means it has 36 protons and 36 electrons.

Electron configuration of krypton atom:  

₃₆Kr 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶.

3) [Xe] 6s²5d¹⁰6p⁴ is not correct, because element with atomic number 70 (54 + 16) is ytterbium (Yb) with electron configuration [Xe] 6s²4f¹⁴.

4) [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶ is correct, because element with atomic number 54 (36 + 18) is krypton (Kr) with electron configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ or [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶.
