Answer:

-85 °C

Explanation:

O and S are in the same group( Group 16). Since S is below O it's atomic mass is higher than O. So molar mass of H2S is higher than H2O. The strength of Vanderwaal Interactions ( London dispersion forces) increases when the molar mass increases. However, only H2O can form H bonds with each other. This is because electronegativity of O is higher than S and therefore H in H2O has a higher partial positive charge than H of H2S.

H bond dominate among these 2 types of forces so the strength of attractions between molecules is higher in H2O than H2S. Therefore more energy should be supplied for H2O to break inter

molecular forces and convert from solid to liquid state than H2S. So mpt of H2O must be higher than that of H2S.

  • See charge on ion is -1 .

Hence it has taken 1 electron

Now first look at EC of Fluorine(F)

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow 1s^22s^22p^5

  • Now one electron added .hence no of electrons is 10now

Look at the EC

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow 1s^22s^22p^6

Or

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow [He]

Option C is correct.

svp [43]

Answer:

The correct option is;

X, W, Y, Z

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Spring (S),         Spring Constant (N/m)

      W,                   24

      X,                    35

      Y,                    22

      Z,                    15

The equation for elastic potential energy, E_e, is E_e = 0.5 \times k \times x^2

The above equation can also be written as E_e =\dfrac{1}{2}  \times k \times x^2

Where:

k = The spring constant in (N/m)

x = The spring extension

Therefore, since the elastic potential energy, E_e, of the spring is directly proportional to the spring constant, k, we have the springs with higher spring constant will have higher elastic potential energy, E_e, therefore the correct order is as follows;

X > W > Y > Z
