Answer:
Explanation:
Water is called the universal solvent. It is a polar molecule (105 degree angle between the H atoms) that gives it a + and a - side so to speak....which allows it to 'pull apart' substances....overcome their intra-molecular attractions to each other ...i.e. disssovle them
A. The number of valence electrons increases as atomic mass increases. == Generally true for the representative elements since atomic mass generally increases with increasing Z.
B. The reactivity of alkali metals increases as atomic mass increases. == True. Atomic mass increases down the column and so does reactivity
C. The reactivity of the halogens increases as atomic mass increases. == False. Reactivity decreases down the column.
D. The number of valence electrons decreases across a period. == False. In general, the number of valence electrons increases across a period, particularly for the representative elements.
Answer:
Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of agass at constant temperature is inversely proportional to its pressure

Explanation:
The Lewis structure of a substance is otherwise known as its dot electron structure. It gives an immediate picture of the bonding and number of electron pairs in the molecule. The diagram shows only the valence electrons on each of the bonding atoms in the molecule and how they combine to form the molecule under consideration.
The correct Lewis structure for CO2 is shown in the image attached. CO2 has 16 valence electrons. This can be verified by counting the number of dots in the image attached.
Molecules huddle close together.
cannot form to any shape.
