Intermolecular distance is the distance between the particles that make up matter. The graph below compares the intermolecular distances in two substances. One substance is gas and the other is a liquid. A bar graph is shown with the title Intermolecular Distance. The y axis title is Distance. The x axis title is Substance. There are two bars on the x axis. One is labeled X and the other is labeled Y. The bar for X is higher than the bar for Y. Which statement best describes the two substances?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Explanation:

In gases, the molecules are held together by weak Vander waal forces. Due to this they have more kinetic energy and hence, more number of collisions take place between the molecules of a gas.

Therefore, they tend to diffuse at a faster rate and distance traveled by them is more as compared to the distance traveled by the molecules of a liquid.

On the other hand in liquids, the molecules are held by more strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to gases but not strong enough as they are in solids. Due to this molecules of a liquid are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have medium kinetic energy.

Therefore, less number of collisions take place between molecules of a liquid as compared to gases.

Thus, we can conclude that particles collide in gas so, substance X is a gas.
Answer 2
Answer: X is the gas and Y is the liquid. Intermolecular distances are farther apart in gases than in liquids.

Why is a piece of apple rotting a chemical change

Answers

Because the glucose (and other useful substances) are no longer there after the rotting (the substance itself changes, rather than simply changing some state of the same substance)
Because you can't change it back to the way it was before it rotted.

What is alloys? write the composition of bronze and brass

Answers

Brass is comprised of copper and zinc.
Bronze is comprised of copper and tin.
An alloy is a mixture of 2 or more metals or nonmetals or a metal and a nonmetal. Alloys are made, in order to suit the desired properties, which other metals/nonmetals don't have. Alloys are made by mixing the metal/nonmetal powders or by mixing them in molten state, etc.. 
Bronze consists of Copper & Tin
Brass consists of Copper & Zinc.

What happens before the nucleus of the parent cell has divided into two new nuclear

Answers

Before I get to the answer, I would recommend that you post biology questions under the biology category. You should get your answers more quickly that way :)
There are two things that happen before a parent cell divides:
1) DNA in the nucleus of the parent cell must replicate (this happens in the S phase of the cell cycle). If you're looking for a single answer to your question, then this is probably it.
2) Also, the cell must grow and some organelles (like the mitochondria) must also replicate before the parent cell divides. If organelles like the mitochondria did not replicate, then you would eventually end up with daughter cells that don't have enough mitochondria to support themselves.

How are antibodies and receptor molecules function similarly

Answers

Answer:

Antigens are molecules capable of stimulating an immune response. Each antigen has distinct surface features, or epitopes, resulting in specific responses. Antibodies (immunoglobins) are Y-shaped proteins produced by B cells of the immune system in response to exposure to antigens.

Does every rock go through the rock cycle, from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic each time around??? Please answer

Answers

No it does not ALWAYS go through all the stages because each rock forms differently at different rates. Igneous rock can weather to sediement rock, or melt to magma, however this does not necessarily mean it does this every time. It all depends on the temperature, wind, and pressure/heat.
