Which action happens at the microscopic scale as the temperature of a substance decreases and it eventually freezes? Particle motion increases, and the particles overcome electrostatic forces. O Particle motion increases, and electrostatic forces pull particles closer together. O Particle motion decreases, and electrostatic forces pull particles closer together. O Particle motion decreases, and the particles overcome electrostatic forces.

A solid white substance A is heated strongly in the absence ofair. It decomposes to form a new white substance B and a gas C.The gas has exactly the same properties as the product obtainedwhen carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen. Basedon these observations, can we determine whether solids Aand B and gas C are elements or compounds?

You have two distinct gaseous compounds made from element X and element Y.The mass percents are as follows: Compound I: 30.43% X, 69.57% Y Compound II: 63.64% X, 36.36% Y In their natural standard states, element X and element Y exist as gases. (Monatomic? Diatomic? Triatomic? That is for you to determine.) When you react "gas X" with "gas Y" to make the products, you get the following data (all at the same pressure and temperature): 1 volume "gas X" + 2 volumes "gas Y" → 2 volumes compound I 2 volumes "gas X" + 1 volume "gas Y" → 2 volumes compound II Assume the simplest possible formulas for reactants and products in the chemical equations above. Then, determine the relative atomic masses of element X and element Y.
Which hypothesis describes the behavior of molecules when a substance changes from a gas to a liquid? The average speed of the molecules increases, because they have lower energy in the liquid state. The average speed of the molecules decreases, because they have lower energy in the liquid state. The average speed of the molecules decreases, because they have higher energy in the liquid state. The average speed of the molecules increases, because they have higher energy in the liquid state.
