Answer:

Because iodine is a liquid, it has no melting point. Iodine is not an electrical conductor because each molecule consists of two iodine atoms connected by a covalent bond that cannot be stimulated sufficiently to transmit electrical energy.

Explanation:

Because in an aqueous solution of iodine, iodine atoms are joined to each other by simple covalent bonds. Thus, when excitation occurs, the strength of the covalent bond is too weak to be able to transfer electrons, thus lacking the ability to conduct electricity.

Element X has two isotopes. If 72.0% of the element has an isotope mass of 84.9 atomic mass units, and 28.0% of the element has

bija089 [108]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Average atomic mass of an element is the sum of the masses of its isotopes each multiplied by its natural abundance

$\footnotesize \longrightarrow \: \rm Average \: atomic \: mass = \dfrac{ \sum\limits \: \% age \: of \: each \: isotope \times Atomic \: mass }{100} \\$

$\footnotesize \longrightarrow \: \rm Average \: atomic \: mass = \dfrac{ 72 \times84.9 + 28 \times 87 }{100} \\$

$\footnotesize \longrightarrow \: \rm Average \: atomic \: mass = \dfrac{ 6112.8 + 2436 }{100} \\$

$\footnotesize \longrightarrow \: \rm Average \: atomic \: mass = \dfrac{ 8548.8 }{100} \\$

$\footnotesize \longrightarrow \: \bf Average \: atomic \: mass = 85.488 \: amu \\$

In the liquid and solid states, molecules are held together by attractions called intermolecular forces. there are several types

BaLLatris [955]

<span>Since these molecules are all non-polar, the only intermolecular force of attraction will be London dispersion forces. Since these increase by the size of the molecule, the boiling points will decrease in the same order: Parafin > Heptadecane > hexane > 2,2-dimethylbutane > propane For these two, hexane > 2,2-dimethylbutane, dispersion forces are greater in a molecule which is longer and unbranched compared to one which is branched and more compact.</span>
