Answer:
1 .
2.
Explanation:
The more stable the ionic compound, the more is it lattice energy.
- The more the charge on the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
- The less the size of the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
Scandium oxide (
) is an oxide in which
behaves as cation and
behaves as anion.
The compounds which has higher lattice energy than scandium oxide are:
1 .
This is because the charge are same on the cation and the anion as in the case of the Scandium oxide but the size of the cation
is smaller than
. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.
2.
This is because the charge on the cation
is greater than that of
and also the size of the cation
is smaller than
. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.
The solid melts and becomes a liquid.
Answer:
The sample of lithium occupies the largest volume.
Explanation:
Given the densities for the four elements, we have the expression
that shows the relationship between mass and Volume to express the density of an element.
For each element we have:




The problem says that all the samples have the same mass, so:

it means that m is a constant
Now, solving for the Volume in each element and with m as a constant, we have:












If we assume m = 1g, we find that:




So we can see that the sample of lithium occupies the largest volume with 1.88mL
Note that m only can take positive values, so if you change the value of m, always will be the lithium which occupies the largest volume.
Answer:
Jupiter and Saturn has ammonia clouds in its atmosphere since the molecules of ammonia gas that are present in their atmospheres condense to form clouds. However, these ammonia clouds are more visible in Jupiter than in Saturn because of their lower altitude in Saturn.
