Why is oxygen diflouride a gas at room temperature?

Chemistry

Answer:

Oxygen is a simple molecular structure, where individual oxygen atoms are bonded to each other by strong covalent bonds. Hence, a low amount of energy is required to overcome these weak forces and oxygen has a low boiling point. Therefore, at room temperature, oxygen is a gas. Oxygen difluoride is a colorless gas, condensable to a pale yellow liquid, with a slightly irritating odor. It is the most stable of the compounds of fluorine and oxygen, which include O,F,, O,F, and 0,F2 but nevertheless it is a strong oxidizing and fluorinating agent. Oxygen Difluoride is a colorless gas or a yellowish-brown liquid with a foul odor. Just to finally link Joseph's answer to the question, oxygen difluoride will thus change from liquid to solid state when chilled from -220°c to -230°c. The boiling point of oxygen is -182.96 degrees Celsius (under 1 standard atmosphere). This means at temperatures below that point, oxygen is a solid or a liquid, and at temperatures above that point, oxygen is a gas. So at -183 degrees Celsius, oxygen is a liquid.

Which phase change results with increased kinetic energy?

weqwewe [10]

An increase in kinetic energy corresponds to an increase in temperature. Out of boiling, condensation, freezing, and precipitation, boiling is the only one that indicates an increase in temperature.

John rings a doorbell.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Remember, Newton's third law of motion; which says in part that "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."

Hence, in this case, the fact that the doorbell rang out implies that there was another force that was exerted on it; which is, John's finger pressing the doorbell.

In other words, when John uses his fingers to press the doorbell button he applies a force (a mechanical force), and that force results in an opposite reaction; the ringing of the doorbell.
