Arrange the compounds in order of decreasing magnitude of lattice energy:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is CaO > LiBr > KI.

Explanation:

Lattice energy is directly proportional to the charge and is inversely proportional to the size. The compound LiBr comprises Li+ and Br- ions, KI comprises K+ and I- ions, and CaO comprise Ca²⁺ and O²⁻ ions.  

With the increase in the charge, there will be an increase in lattice energy. In the given case, the lattice energy of CaO will be the highest due to the presence of +2 and -2 ions. K⁺ ions are larger than Li⁺ ion, and I⁻ ions are larger than Br⁻ ion.  

The distance between Li⁺ and Br⁻ ions in LiBr is less in comparison to the distance between K⁺ and I⁻ ions in KI. As a consequence, the lattice energy of LiBr is greater than KI. Therefore, CaO exhibits the largest lattice energy, while KI the smallest.

Describe the relationship between predator and prey in a balanced ecosystem.
Annette [7]
<h2><u>Relationship between predator and prey in a balanced ecosystem.</u></h2>

Predators grow along with their victims. Over time, prey animals are now developing and avoiding themselves to get eaten by their predators. Such tactics and modifications can take many forms that make their work easier, including disguise, mimicry, defense mechanisms, flexibility, distance, habits and even tool use.

Though fact an equilibrium appears to occur within an ecosystem between predators and prey, there are several factors which affect it, including the birth and death rates of predators and preys.

Which water source becomes polluted as it travels over the earth?
never [62]

Run off

Explanation:

Run-off are the water sources that becomes polluted as they travel over the earth surface.

Surface run-off are water that moves on the earth surface. This water is a component of the water cycle which usually originate from precipitation.

  • As the water moves through different terrain it comes into contact with different pollutants.
  • Some of these run-off travels through mines, waste disposal sites among others.
  • This leads to the contamination of this form of water as it moves through these earth materials.
  • They are the most polluted water

Controlled nuclear chain reactions
Lunna [17]
The nuclear reactions which are under experimenter's control are said to be controlled nuclear reactions. In this, you can maintain the speed of the incident particle. α and β-decay process are examples of non-controlled nuclear reactions.
