Answer:

quartz (SiO2)n

Explanation:

Melting point is defined as the temperature or point at which the substances change its state from solid to liquid.

Quartz (SiO2)n has high melting point than O2 because Quartz (SiO2)n is found in the form of hard, crystalline mineral that is made up of silicon and oxygen atoms having strong covalent bonds between all the atoms. So, a lot of energy is required to break the bond between the atoms and it has a high melting point.

Hence, the correct answer is quartz (SiO2)n.

Explain why the atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group ?​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

In general, atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group. ... Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, so there is a greater distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. This results in a larger atomic radius.

Consider the reaction below.
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

  • <u>First choice: 0.042</u>

Explanation:

Given decomposition reaction:

  • 1PCl₅ (g) ⇄ 1PCl₃ + 1Cl₂(g)

Equilibrium constant:

  • K_{eq}=\frac{[PCl_3]^1[Cl_2]^1}{[PCl_5]^1}

Stoichiometric coefficients and powers equal to 1 are not usually shown as they are understood, but I included them in order to shwow you how they intervene in the equilibrium expressions: each concentration is raised to a power equal to the respective stoichiometric coefficient in the equilibrium equation.

So, your calculations are:

K_{eq}=\frac{(0.020M)(0.020M)}{0.0095M}=0.042M
