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.

A balloon starts out with a volume of 1.3 l at 115.3 kpa. if the temperature is held constant, what would the new volume be if t
Anna35 [415]

The new volume be if the pressure inside the balloon was reduced to 58kpa is 2.58 L.

<h3>What is ideal gas equation?</h3>

Ideal gas equation PV=nRT gives idea about the behavior of gases at different conditions and for this question the equation becomes:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where

P₁ = initial pressure = 115.3 kpa

V₁ = initial volume = 1.3 L

P₂ = final pressure = 58 kpa

V₂ = final volume = ?

On putting all these values in the above equation, we get

V₂ = (115.3)(1.3) / (58) = 2.58 L

Hence resultant volume of gas is 2.58 L.

(Please help, ASAP) How many grams are in 3.45x10^23 atoms of P?
Daniel [21]

one mole of P weights about 31 grams

in one mole there are 6.022*10^23 atoms

we use the rule of threes

6.022*10^23atoms......weight..........31 grams

3.45*10^23 atoms.........weight...........x grams

x=(3.45*10^23*31)/6.022*10^23

x=106.95/6.022=<u><em>17.76 grams</em></u>

(GIVING BRAINLYIST) How does temperature and precipitation change as you increase in elevation?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Temperature gets cooler and precipitation increases.

Explanation:

As average temperatures at the Earth's surface rise, more evaporation occurs, which, in turn, increases overall precipitation. … In addition, higher temperatures lead to more evaporation, so increased precipitation will not necessarily increase the amount of water available for drinking, irrigation, and industry

Higher elevations cause temperatures to drop because the higher up in the atmosphere you go, the colder it gets due to air pressure, in turn causing precipitation to freeze, creating snow. Lower elevations are a lot warmer because the air pressure is not as pressurized causing the temperature to be warmer
