Snow contains air packets inside it; air is a good heat insulator

Answer:

Snow is a better insulator than ice because snow contains air packets inside it and air is a good insulator of heat. Due to this, snow takes longer time to melt than the ice of the same mass.

What do you observe about the movement of the particles in the medium?

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The particles of the medium just vibrate in place.

Explanation:

As they vibrate, they pass the energy of the disturbance to the particles next to them, which pass the energy to the particles next to them, and so on. Particles of the medium don't actually travel along with the wave.

Answer:

Explanation:

Manganese (VII) ion (an anion) has the formula MnO₄⁻. A polyatomic ion is an ion that is made up of more than one atom. For example, MnO₄⁻ and NH₄⁺. Since the ion provided in the question is an anion, the polyatomic ion that would react with it will have to be a cation (positively charged).

The polyatomic cation that will react with MnO₄⁻ to form a neutral compound is NH₄⁺ (ammonium ion) to form NH₄MnO₄ (Ammonium permanganate).

These statements describe three different reactions.

Naily [24]

An atom gains an electron from another atom. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons.

When an atom shares electrons with another atom then it results in the formation of a covalent bond.

Whereas when an atom transfer electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.

When the nucleus of an atom splits then it represents a nuclear fission reaction and energy is released during this process.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Van dar waals are the dominant molecular force in the sodium chloride.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Recall the two conceptual steps necessary to dissolve a solute and form a solution

Key Points

There are two conceptual steps to form a solution, each corresponding to one of the two opposing forces that dictate solubility.

The first conceptual step is dissolution, which corresponds to the force of the solvent-solvent and solute-solute intermolecular attractions that needs to be broken down.

The second conceptual step is solvation, which corresponds to the force of the solute-solvent intermolecular attraction that needs to be formed in order to form a solution.

Many intermolecular forces can contribute to solvation, including hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole forces, Van Der Waals forces, and ion-dipole interactions.

Term

intermolecular forcesattractive and repulsive forces between molecules

The strength of the intermolecular forces between solutes and solvents determines the solubility of a given solute in a given solvent. In order to form a solution, the solute must be surrounded, or solvated, by the solvent. Solutes successfully dissolve into solvents when solute-solvent bonds are stronger than either solute-solute bonds or solvent-solvent bonds.

Qualitatively, one can determine the solubility of a solute in a solvent by using the rule “like dissolves like”. In general, solutes whose polarity matches that of the solvent will generally be soluble. For example, table salt (NaCl) dissolves easily into water (H2O) because both molecules are polar.

Intermolecular Forces and Their Importance in Solution Formation

There are two conceptual steps to form a solution, each corresponding to one of the two opposing forces that dictate solubility. If the solute is a solid or liquid, it must first be dispersed — that is, its molecular units must be pulled apart. This requires energy, and so this step always works against solution formation (always endothermic, or requires that energy be put into the system).
