Answer:

What can liquids do that solids cannot?Liquids will flow and fill up any shape of container. Solids like to hold their shape. In the same way that a large solid holds its shape, the atoms inside of a solid are not allowed to move around too much. Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want.

What can gases do that solids cannot?The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid.

I hope this helps

Write the balanced chemical equations for the decomposition of solid calcium hydroxide into solid calcium (ii) oxide (lime) and

Lesechka [4]

Calcium oxide (CaO) or lime in solid form can be prepared from the decomposition of calcium hydroxide {Ca $(OH)_{2}$ in to lime (CaO) and water ( $H_{2}O$ at high temperature. The reaction is an endothermic reaction. That is heat is absorbed in this reaction process. One mole of calcium hydroxide decomposed into one mole of calcium oxide and one mole of water. The balanced reaction can be shown as-CaC $O_{3}$ (solid) → CaO (solid) + $H_{2}O$ (liquid). The heat of the reaction is (+) 63.7 kJ/mole of CaO.

coldgirl [10]

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom.

The term isotope is formed from the Greek roots isos ("equal") and topos ("place"), meaning "the same place".

How is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave related to the energy of the wave?

Sauron [17]

The equation that relates both energy and wavelength is:

$e=\frac{h*c}{lambda}$

where e is the energy and lambda is the wavelength.

Therefore, as we can see from this equation, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is inversely related to the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave.

Help pls! Answer all of it. Idk if what I wrote is correct.

The reaction is actually endothermic because delta H is positive, indicating that it absorbing heat.
