Why do ionic bonds have strong intermolecular forces? (Imfs)&
Why do covalent bonds have weak intermolecular forces? (Imfs)

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The wording of your question is a bit strange (we usually don't say that bonds have IMFs and ionic compounds don't consist of molecules), but the answer to your question has to do with bond polarity. Strong IMFs are associated with very polar bonds (because increased polarity means greater magnitudes of charges at the poles and, hence, greater electrostatic attraction). Since ionic bonds involve the transfer of entire units of charge (to form cations and anions), they are highly polar (and highly polar means strong IMFs). Polarity in covalent bonds, however, does not arise from transfer of entire units of charge. Rather, they involve unequal sharing of electrons, and thus partial charge. Covalent bonds are, therefore, not as polar as ionic bonds (and less polar means weaker IMFs). I think it would be a good idea to keep in mind, though, that your question should be more along the lines of "Why are ionic bonds more polar than covalent bonds?".

A pitcher throws a ball toward a player holding a softball bat. The player uses the bat to hit the ball. The bat applies a 10-newton force to the ball.Which statement correctly describes the reaction force between the bat and ball?

Answers

A pitcher throws a ball toward a player holding a softballbat. The player uses the bat to hit the ball. The bat applies a 10-newton force to the ball. The statement correctly describes the reaction force between the bat and ball is the reaction force is the force applied to the bat by the player holding the bat. Therefore, option B is correct.

What do you mean by the force ?

The term force is defined as the push or pull on an object with mass causes it to change its velocity. Force is an external agent capable of changing a body's state of rest or motion. Force has a magnitude and a direction.

A force is a physicalquantity which cause a motion in an object at rest or changes to change the.The direction of motion of a moving object or the shape or size of the object.

The pitcher threw the ball but that isn't the reaction between the ball and the bat, the bat job is hit the ball.The statement correctly describes the reaction force between the bat and ball is the reaction force is the force applied to the bat by the player holding the bat.

Thus, option B is correct.

Your question is incomplete, most probably your question was as follows:

A pitcher throws a ball toward a player holding a softball bat. The player uses the bat to hit the ball. The bat applies a 10-newton force to the ball.

Which statement correctly describes the reaction force between the bat and ball?

A. the reaction force is that force which causes the ball to move towards bat.

B. the reaction force between the bat and ball is the reaction force is the force applied to the bat by the player holding the bat.

C. the reaction force is that force which pull ball towards the ground.

Answer:

B) the reaction force is the force applied to the bat by the player holding the bat

Explanation:

the pitcher threw the ball but that isn't the reaction between the ball and the bat, the bat job is to hit the ball

An experimental procedure requires 10 ml of acid to be dissolved into a beaker of water. An additional 5 ml of acid is added to the solution. Which statement best describes the new solution? the strength of the acid in the solution has been increased the concentration of acid in the solution has decreased by one half the concentration of acid in the solution has been increased the strength of the acid in the solution has decreased by one half

Answers

Answer:

The correct statement is that the concentration of the acid in the solution will increase.

Explanation:

On the basis of the given question, if one dissolves 10 milliliters of acid in a beaker of water, the acid will get diluted. As the number of moles of acid is not going to change, thus, one can use the formula:  

M1V1 = M2V2

Here, M is the concentration of the acid in the solution,  

V1 = 10 ml

V2 = V water + 10

If we supplement, an other 5 ml of acid, the new concentration of the acid will be:  

M = M1 (5 ml) + M2 (Vwater + 10 ml) / (5 ml + V water + 10 ml)

Therefore, the concentration of the acid in the new solution will increase.  

Answer:

the concentration of acid in the solution has been increased.

Explanation:

the answer is C on edge.

Which of the following is represented in the highest percentage by volume in dry air?a. Carbon dioxide
b. Oxygen
c. Hydrogen
d. Nitrogen

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is Option d.

Explanation:

Dry air is composed of a mixture of gases like argon, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and many other gases present in trace amount.

The percentage of these gases by volume in dry air is:

Carbon dioxide = 0.03%

Argon = 0.93%

Oxygen = 20.95%

Nitrogen = 78.09%

Hydrogen = Trace amounts

From the above percentage values, we can easily say that nitrogen has the highest percentage by volume in dry air. Hence, the correct option is d.
nitrogen is the highest percent of 93%

Which one is stronger acid with ph=5 or ph=2

Answers

pH=2. The lower the pH level, the higher the acidity is. Meanwhile, the higher the pH, the more basic the substance is
Each change in pH is a change in Hydrogen Ion concentration by a factor of 10. So a pH 2 acid is 1000 times stronger than a pH 5 acid.
