A student writes the following explanation of how certain molecules are formed.A process is used to chemically link smaller unit

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

polymerization

Explanation:

Student is explaining the process of formation of a polymer and the process is called polymerization.

Polymer is made up of joining repeating units. The repeating units are called monomers.

Properties of the polymer is determined by the structure of monomer molecule.

For example, consider a well-known polymer Teflon.is made by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethane.

Thus, the student is explaining polymerization.

In your OWN WORDS, describe what the “Law of Conservation of Energy” is.

agasfer [191]

Energy cannot be destroyed or created, but energy could be transformed or transferred. For example a skiier skiing from the mouth can have potential energy transferred into kinetic energy.

What is evaporation? Describe what happens at the molecular level during evaporation.

jasenka [17]

Evaporation happens when atoms or molecules escape from the liquid and turn into a vapor. Not all of the molecules in a liquid have the same energy. Sometimes a liquid can be sitting in one place (maybe a puddle) and its molecules will become a gas. That's the process called evaporation. It can happen when liquids are cold or when they are warm. It happens more often with warmer liquids. You probably remember that when matter has a higher temperature, the molecules have a higher energy. When the energy in specific molecules reaches a certain level, they can have a phase change. Evaporation is all about the energy in individual molecules, not about the average energy of a system. The average energy can be low and the evaporation still continues.

Consider the molecules: scl2, f2, cs2, cf4, and brcl. select the choice where the bonds of the molecules are arranged in order o

elena-s [515]

The polarity of a bond depends on the difference in electronegativities of the atoms involved in bonding. Greater this difference, greater is the polarity

1) In SCl2 we have the S-Cl bond

Electronegativity values: S = 2.5, Cl = 3

Difference = 3.0 -2.5 = 0.5

2) In F2 we have the F-F bond

Electronegativity value: F = 4.0

Difference = 4.0-4.0 = 0

3) In CS2 we have the C-S bond

Electronegativity value: C = 2.5, S = 2.5

Difference = 2.5 -2.5 = 0

4) In CF4 we have the C-F bond

Electronegativity values: C = 2.5, F = 4.0

Difference = 4.0 -2.5 = 1.5

5) In BrCl we have the Br-Cl bond

Electronegativity values: Br = 2.8, Cl = 3

Difference = 3.0 -2.8 = 0.2

Therefore, the increasing order of polarity is

F2 = CS2 < BrCl < SCl2 < CF4
