Elements are different from each other because the number of which sub-atomic particle varies?

A scientist discovers a new substance. The molecules of the substance form hydrogen bonds with each other. When the molecules lo

wariber [46]

The answer is: It expands when it freezes.

When molecule frezes, it lose energy. When molecules are far apart, it means the volume is greater and it expands.

For example, ice expands when water is freezing.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

Cyclopropane is more reactive than most cycloalkanes. What factors lead to cyclopropane being less stable than the other cycloal

maw [93]

Answer: The factor that lead to cyclopropane being less stable than the other cycloalkanes is the presence of a RING STRAIN.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, the end carbon atoms of an open aliphatic chain can join together to form a closed system or ring to form cycloalkanes. Such compounds are known as cyclic compounds. Examples include cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane and many among others.

Cyclopropane is less stable than other cycloalkanes mentioned above because of the presence of ring strain in its structural arrangement. The ring strain is the spatial orientation of atoms of the cycloalkane compounds which tend to give off a very high and non favourable energy. The release of heat energy which is stored in the bonds and molecules cause the ring to be UNSTABLE and REACTIVE.

The presence of the ring strain affects mainly the structures and the conformational function of the smaller cycloalkanes. cyclopropane, which is the smallest cycloalkane than the rest mentioned above, contains only 3 carbons with a small ring.

Describe the difference between gravitational force and strong nuclear force

arsen [322]

Gravitational force is much weaker, because it is the force of gravity, or the force that makes smaller objects be pulled towards a much bigger one with a certain amount of force.

Now strong nuclear force, which is very strong, keeps the atomic particles in an atom from separating, and the reason it is so powerful is because the particles in an atom repel each other and this force keeps them from doing .that

A 2.684-g sample of zinc oxide was reduced by hydrogen gas, resulting in 2. 156 g of pure zinc metal. Determine the empirical fo

Afina-wow [57]

The empirical formula of the initial zinc oxide is ZnO.

<h3>What is Empirical Formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound represents the ratios of elements in a compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of the atoms.

It is the lowest whole number ratio of the element in the compound.

<h3>How to find out the empirical formula?</h3>

Find out the given masses and molar masses of the elements

The molar mass of Zn = 65 gmol⁻¹

Given the mass of Zn = 2.156 g

The molar mass of Oxygen = 16 gmol⁻¹

The mass of Oxygen = Mass of a sample of zinc oxide - the mass of zinc metal

= (2.684 - 2.156) g

= 0.528 g

Find the number of moles of the elements in the compound

The number of moles is given by

$n = \frac{m}{M}$

where m = given mass and

M = Molar mass

Number of moles of Zinc = $\frac{2.156}{65}$ = 0.033 moles

Number of moles of Oxygen = $\frac{0.528}{16}$ = 0.033 moles

Find the simplest ratios of the elements in the compound. To find the ratios simply divide the number of moles by the lowest number of moles obtained.

Here, the number of moles is the same for both elements. Hence, the simplest ratio for Zn:O is 1:1.

Therefore, the empirical formula of zinc oxide is ZnO.
