<span>The smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of that element is called an A. atom.
Atoms consist of protons, electrons, and neutrons, but they are particles and don't have the characteristics of the element which is why D is incorrect. B and C are not the smallest units - atoms are smaller than them.

I don't fully understand your question, but I believe that plants have functions that are vital to the planet. They take sunlight, make it into food for themselves, and release oxygen that we need to survive.
Answer: The density of 0.50 grams of gaseous carbon stored under 1.50 atm of pressure at a temperature of -20.0 °C is 0.867 g/L.
Explanation:
- d = m/V, where d is the density, m is the mass and V is the volume.
- We have the mass m = 0.50 g, so we must get the volume V.
- To get the volume of a gas, we apply the general gas law PV = nRT
P is the pressure in atm (P = 1.5 atm)
V is the volume in L (V = ??? L)
n is the number of moles in mole, n = m/Atomic mass, n = 0.50/12.0 = 0.416 mole.
R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K).
T is the temperature in K (T(K) = T(°C) + 273 = -20.0 + 273 = 253 K).
- Then, V = nRT/P = (0.416 mol)(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(253 K) / (1.5 atm) = 0.576 L.
- Now, we can obtain the density; d = m/V = (0.50 g) / (0.576 L) = 0.867 g/L.
Answer:
Statements Y and Z.
Explanation:
The Van der Waals equation is the next one:
(1)
The ideal gas law is the following:
(2)
<em>where n: is the moles of the gas, R: is the gas constant, T: is the temperature, P: is the measured pressure, V: is the volume of the container, and a and b: are measured constants for a specific gas. </em>
As we can see from equation (1), the Van der Waals equation introduces two terms that correct the P and the V of the ideal gas equation (2),<u> by the incorporation of the intermolecular interaction between the gases and the gases volume</u>. The term an²/V² corrects the P of the ideal gas equation since the measured pressure is decreased by the attraction forces between the gases. The term nb corrects the V of the ideal gas equation, <u>taking into account the volume occuppied by the gas in the total volume, which implies</u> a reduction of the total space available for the gas molecules.
So, the correct statements are the Y and Z: the non-zero volumes of the gas particles effectively decrease the amount of "empty space" between them and the molecular attractions between gas particles decrease the pressure exerted by the gas.
Have a nice day!
