1) Solids have a fixed shape
The particles of solids are held into their positions and are only able to vibrate about fixed points. The strength of the bonding means that the particles have their own shape, which they retain, and do not take the form of the container they are in.

2) Solids may not flow
The molecules of liquids are able to slide past one another due to weaker bonds between particles. This allows the liquid to flow; whereas, this movement is not possible in solids so they cannot flow.

3) Solids may fracture
The fact that solids possess a rigid structure means that they have the ability to fracture. Although some are able to withstand more stress than others, all solids may break. This breakage occurs when the intermolecular bonds are mechanically broken. This is not possible in the case of liquids because such rigid intermolecular bonds do not exist.

<h3> What is molecular  formula?</h3>

A chemical formula is a way to describe the chemical ratios of the atoms that make up a specific chemical compound or molecule in chemistry. Chemical element symbols, numbers, and occasionally other symbols, such as parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas, and plus (+) and minus () signs, are used to represent the chemical elements. These can only include one typographic line of symbols, which may also include subscripts and superscripts. A chemical formula has no words and is not the same as the chemical name. A chemical formula does not equal a complete chemical structural formula, despite the fact that it may suggest some basic chemical structures. Chemical formulae are often less powerful than chemical names and structural formulae, and they can only fully describe the structure of the simplest molecules and chemical compounds.

Answer:

3.59x10⁻⁴ mol

Explanation:

Assuming ideal behaviour we can solve this problem by using the<em> PV=nRT formula</em>, where:

  • P = 205 Pa
  • V = 5.68 L
  • n = ?
  • R = 8314.46 Pa·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹
  • T = 390.4 K

We<u> input the data given by the problem</u>:

  • 205  Pa * 5.68 L = n * 8314.46 Pa·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 390.4 K

And <u>solve for n</u>:

  • n = 3.59x10⁻⁴ mol
