Answer:

b. radicals form easily in the presence of chlorine radicals.

Explanation:

Chlorine radicals perform the first propagation step: because "radicals form easily in the presence of chlorine radicals."

This is because the first propagation step consumes a CHLORINE RADICAL while the second propagation step regenerates a CHLORINE RADICAL. In this way, a chain reaction occurs, whereby one CHLORINE RADICAL can ultimately cause thousands of molecules of methane to be converted into chloromethane with C12 present.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is that "radicals form easily in the presence of chlorine radicals."

How are ironic bonds and covalent bonds different and how are they different?

Vinil7 [7]

Ionic bonds are forces that hold together electrostatic forces of attractions between oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds have an electronegativity difference greater than or equal to 2. Covalent bonds have an electronegativity difference that is less than 2.

Which is a characteristic of mixtures?

anygoal [31]

Answer: They can be separated by physical processes

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper $Cu$

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: water $H_2O$

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present.they can be separated by physical processes. Example: salt in water. It can be separated by evaporation which is a physical process.

Insoluble molecular compounds break apart into atoms when added to water.<br> True<br> O False

masha68 [24]

Answer:

False.

This is false because, no chemical reaction could possibly happen.

But in case of sodium it is highly reactive with water.......... so there will be a chemical reaction.

but as sodium is not a insoluble molecular compound this is not applicable to the situation.

Why is Sodium chloride a compound but not a molecule? I thought all the compounds are molecule but not all molecules are compoun

Firdavs [7]

Molecule is the general term used to describe any atoms that are connected by chemical bonds. Every combination of atoms is a molecule. A compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.
Well, if a molecule is considered to be a discrete small unit made up of atoms joined together, then NaCl, and any other ionic solid is not really a molecule. In NaCl we have a repetitive crystal structure in which each Na+ ion is surrounded by Cl- ions, and vice-versa, for as far as the crystal extends. There really isn't such a thing as an NaCl molecule.
