Answer:
Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.
The answer lies in the large separation of atoms and molecules in gases, compared to their sizes, as illustrated in Figure 2. Because atoms and molecules have large separations, forces between them can be ignored, except when they collide with each other during collisions. The motion of atoms and molecules (at temperatures well above the boiling temperature) is fast, such that the gas occupies all of the accessible volume and the expansion of gases is rapid. In contrast, in liquids and solids, atoms and molecules are closer together and are quite sensitive to the forces between them.
Answer:
A potassium atom (atomic number 19) and a bromine atom (atomic number 35) can form a chemical bond through a transfer of one electron. The potassium ion that forms has 18 electrons. What best describes the bromide ion that forms? It is a negative ion that has one more valence electron than a neutral bromine atom.
Explanation:
Lewis symbol for K+ is given by a dot and K.
<h3>Meaning of
Lewis symbol</h3>
Lewis symbols can be defined as a symbol the is used in describing the valence electron configurations of an atom ions.
A Lewis symbol consists of the symbol of the element and then surrounded by one dot for each of its valence electrons.
In conclusion, Lewis symbol for K+ is given by a dot and K.

Answer:
Metallic structure
Explanation:
They have a high melting point due to the strong forces of attraction between the positive ions (cations) and the delocalised electrons. Moreover, they conduct electricity due to the sea of delocalised electrons.
<em>[Extra: It could be an ionic compound since they also have a high melting point, however they only conduct electricity in liquid or aqeouus state.]</em>
Answer:
127529 KJ
Explanation:
Since 1gallon = 3.78 L= 3780 ml
The density of C8H18= 0.703 g/mL
Density = mass/volume
Mass= Density × volume
Mass= 0.703 g/mL × 3780 ml
Mass= 2657.34 g
Molar mass of C8H18= 114 g/mol
Number of moles= mass/molar mass
Number of moles= 2657.34/114
Number of moles= 23.31 moles
Since 1 mole evolved=5471 kJ
23.31 moles = 5471 kJ × 23.31 = 127529 KJ
