Answer:

Carbon dioxide is held together by weak intermolecular forces (only London dispersion <em>LD</em>) and is a non-polar molecule. Because of this weak attraction, it exists as a gas. Water on the other hand is polar (dipole forces <em>DP</em>), and has a stronger hydrogen bond existing within it (in addition to <em>LD</em>). This makes it attract itself more than say carbon dioxide molecules, so it commonly exists as a liquid. Finally, salt like water is polar, and has ionic bonds that are even stronger than a hydrogen bond. This makes salt have a great attraction to itself, sticking together as a solid because its molecules cant easily be broken up.

Explanation:

These are the strongest intermolecular forces ranked from strongest to weakest.

1. Network Covalent

2. Ionic

3. Hydrogen Bonding

4. Dipole Dipole

5. London Dispersion

If a penny (with the this volume .39 cm^3) was made out of pure copper, what should its mass be?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

  3.49 g

Explanation:

The mass is the product of volume and density:

  (8.96 g/cm³)(0.39 cm³) ≈ 3.49 g

The mass of a pure-copper penny would be 3.49 g.

How many moles are in 7.46 x 1025 particles of iron
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

1 mole of iron =6.023×10^23 particles

1 particles of iron=1/6.023×10^23 mole

7.46×10^25 particles =1/6.023×10^23×7.46×10^25

=1.238×10^48 mole is a required answer.
