Answer:

Increasing Surface Area

Explanation:

A greater surface area (meaning more, smaller particles) allows for more opportunity for particles to collide. On the other hand, decreasing temperature and removing a catalyst would only decrease the number of collisions, and the clumping option doesn't make much sense. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Increasing Surface Area

Explanation:

Chemical reactions occur at the atomic level where the atoms of each reacting elements interact with one another to form products. However, one way this interaction occurs is via COLLISION OF ATOMIC PARTICLES. In accordance with the collision theory, a collision must occur between reactant atomic particles in order for a reaction to take place.

However, certain factors affect the rate at which this collision occurs. One of them is the SURFACE AREA OF THE REACTANTS. Increasing the surface area of reactants simultaneously increases the frequency at which particles collide. Hence, INCREASING SURFACE AREA increases the number of collisions between reactant molecules in a given volume.

A is the answer

In an ozone molecule, the three atoms must be connected, so there must at least be a single bond between them. Place

dots in pairs around the oxygen atoms until each oxygen atom has eight valence electrons, starting with the atoms on the

outside and doing the central atom last if there are enough. Do not exceed the total number of valence electrons

identified in part A. Remember that the dashes between the oxygen atoms, which represent single bonds, each indicate

the presence of two valence electrons

H2O is polar covalent or its Hydrogen bond??? PLEASE HELP!!!

Annette [7]

Answer:

Polar covalent.

Explanation:

The covalent bonds are therefore polar, and the oxygen atoms have a slight negative charge (from the presence extra electron share), while the hydrogens are slightly positive (from the extra un-neutralized protons). Opposite charges attract one another.

If ya could change somethin bout ya previous science classes what would it be?

k0ka [10]

If I could change something in my previous science classes, it would have been the fact that I struggled in the question concerning exponents. It was simple one, but I don't know how I didn't understood that. For example, if there is a question with a calculation "xy²", then I would first multiply x and y, and then calculate the exponent. I did 3 of the questions wrong because of this, it was when I was in 7th grade. I wish I had not done this kind of silly mistake. I an in 10th grade and understand it well now, though.
