Simply put, density is how tightly “stuff” is packed into a defined space.

For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up in three dimensions.

Density is calculated using the following equation: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v.

If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.

The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float.

Which best explains why ionization energy tends to decrease from the top to the bottom of a group? The number of orbitals decrea
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Electrons get farther from the nucleus.

Explanation:

By going from the top to the bottom of a group, the atomic number increases. That would mean that:

  • The number of orbitals increases, as there are more electrons.
  • A higher atomic number implies an increasing number of neutrons.
  • As there are more electrons, they get farther from the nucleus. The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the easier it is for the electron to be removed from the atom.

How many moles of gas sample are 5.0 L container at 373K and 203kPa
Rom4ik [11]
For the purpose we will here use t<span>he ideal gas law:

p</span>×V=n×R×<span>T

V= </span><span>5.0 L

T= </span><span>373K

p= </span><span>203kPa
</span><span>
R is </span> universal gas constant, and its value is 8.314 J/mol×<span>K
</span>
Now when we have all necessary date we can calculate the number of moles:

n=p×V/R×T

n= 203 x 5 / 8.314 x 373 = 0.33 mole

Using the periodic table, how would you find elements with chemical properties similar to helium?
rosijanka [135]
<span>The state of the helium in its natural form is gaseous and is a chemical element of colorless aspect and belongs to the group of noble gases. The atomic number of helium is 2. The chemical symbol of helium is He. For the following we focus on those elements and relate it with similar chemical properties. Then we find that; Neon, Hydrogen, Boron and Carbon are related to helium, either by proximity in their atomic number or period or by their group.</span>
