<u>Answer:</u>
Carbon and silicon both are tetravalent elements as compared to germanium, tin, and lead which are divalent.
That's because Ge, tin, and Pb show inert pair effect and has a greater nuclear effective charge on the 's' electrons due to poor shielding effect. .That's why these elements are not able to share their valence electrons while carbon and silicon does and show "catenation" which is the ability to form long chain molecules.
Answer:
Carbon dioxide
Explanation:
Neither helium nor carbon dioxide has a molecular dipole, so their strongest van der Waals attractive forces are London forces.
Helium is a small spherical atom with only a two electrons, so its atoms have quite weak attractions to each other.
CO₂ is a large linear molecule. It has more electrons than helium, so the attractive forces are greater. Furthermore, the molecules can align themselves compactly side-by-side and maximize the attractions (see below).
For example. CO₂ becomes a solid at -78 °C, but helium must be cooled to -272 °C to make it freeze (that's just 1 °C above absolute zero).
Density = mass / volume
Density = 7.5 g / 5.0 cm3
Density = 1.5 g/cm3
Yesssirrrrrrrrr someone answer
Explanation:
Monitor the temperature of the water with the thermometer. Stop heating the water once it nears the boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius. Add copper(II) sulfate and stir until the heated solution is saturated. When the solution is saturated, copper(II) sulfate will not dissolve anymore
