Electronegativity.
Electronegativity can be defined as the measure of affinity of the element towards electrons . Higher the affinity towards electrons higher the electronegativity.
Eg : Fluorine has a high electronegativity. This is because it has 7 valence electrons, to gain a noble gas configuration / complete outer shell it needs to gain one electron. Hence the positive nuclear charge of the nucleus will attract an electron so it can become a complete outer shell , therefore F is very reactive.
Higher the attraction of the nucleus to electrons , higher its affinity therefore higher electronegativity.

Which choice is an example of an endothermic process?
77julia77 [94]

Answer: conversion of ice to steam

Explanation: Endothermic process is one in which energy is absorbed by the system.

Conversion of ice to steam is change of solid phase to gaseous phase, thus energy is required to break the strong inter molecular forces of attraction in solids to convert it into gaseous phase.

Conversion of steam to ice, conversion of steam to water  and conversion of water to ice releases energy and are examples of exothermic processes.

In the determining molar volume experiment, we will use water. how will vapor pressure play a role in this experiment?
Bas_tet [7]
Molar volume is a property of a component in a solution. It is defined as the volume occupied by one mole of the component in the closed system. You would not expect all solutions to execute volume additivity because intermolecular forces between the components come into play. There is no such thing as conservation of volume. 

Vapor pressure affects molar volume because gases are very sensitive by these process conditions. Vapor pressure is very temperature-dependent. Consequently, at a different temperature, your component could expand or compress, thus, affecting the molar volume. Moreover, the pressure affects the molecular collisions in the system.

If gas is truly to be classified as a form of matter this means it can be measured. What form of gas can be measured?
juin [17]

Answer:

Gas is sometimes measured in cubic feet at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and an atmospheric pressure of 14.7 pounds per square inch. Gas production from wells is discussed in terms of thousands or millions of cubic feet (Mcf and MMcf). Resources and reserves are calculated in trillions of cubic feet (Tcf).
