Why motion of current is opposite direction of motion of electron

Answer»

ection of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge WOULD move. THUS, thecurrent in the EXTERNAL CIRCUIT is DIRECTED away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electronswould actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

When water freezes it density becomes less so that's why ice floats on water??

Answer»

ats because it is about 9% less dense than LIQUID WATER. In other WORDS, ice takes up about 9% more SPACE than water, so a liter of ice weighs less than liter water. The heavier water displaces the LIGHTER ice, so ice floats to the top.

Why water has higher boiling point than ?

Answer»

end............Here is your answer...............It's due to the higher electronegativity of OXYGEN than Sulphur that it makes INTERMOLECULAR HYDROGEN bonds with the Hydrogen Atoms of Other water MOLECULES thus the Boiling Point of H2O increases and is MUCH higher than that of H2S.

13.

Why there is ozone depletion mainly over Antarctica?

Answer»

riend .............Here is your answer...........The severe depletion of the Antarctic OZONE layer known as the “ozone hole” occurs because of the special ATMOSPHERIC and chemical conditions that exist there and nowhere ELSE on the GLOBE. The very low winter temperatures in the Antarctic stratosphere CAUSE polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) to form.

14.

Why standard heat of formation of diamond is not zero though it is an element?

Answer»

ndard enthalpy of formation for an element in its standard state is ZERO!!!! Elements in their standard state are not FORMED, they just are. So, ΔH°f for C (s, GRAPHITE) is zero, but the ΔH°f for C (s, diamond) is 2 kJ/mol. That is because graphite is the standard state for carbon, not diamond.-----------------------------hope is HELPS------------------------------------

Why is second ionisation energy of alkali metals higher than alkaline earth metals?

Answer»

metals do not posses second IONIZATION energy because it only has it only posses ONE valence electron  and the  2nd and third ionization  ionization possesed only BASED on the valency e.g group 2 ELEMENTS will only posses 1st and 2nd ionization energy . The higher the valency e.g +2, the higher the AMOUNT of energy required to remove the valence electron to change the gaseous atom to the a gaseous ion.

Why cant weak acid and a salt of another weak acid behave as a buffer?

Answer»

do so by being composed of certain pairs of solutes: either a WEAK acid plus a SALT derived from that weak acid or a weak base plus a salt of that weak base. ... Rather than CHANGING the pH dramatically by making the SOLUTION basic, the added hydroxide ions react to make water, and the pH does not change much.

28.

Why Group –2 elements have positive electron gain enthalpy?

Answer»

Group 2 elements such as Berylium, Magnesium, Calcium etc have positive electron GAIN enthalpies. This is because they are electropositive and need to SUPPLIED energy externally if electron is to be ADDED in their already fullfilled s orbital, NOTE that they have an ELECTRONIC configuration of ns2.So, group 2 elements have positive electron gain enthalpies

29.

Why ethanol has lower vapour pressure than benzene?

Answer»

!! Because the vapour PRESSURE is higher, the liquid is evaporating more EASILY than would be expected... and the ethanol molecules will INTERFERE with hydrogen and therefore make the liquid more volatile...Ethanol and BENZENE ..the hydrogen bonding is reduced by the presence of benzene....hope it helps U...if not...then ignore it.

32.

Which compound among mgf2 and nacl has high lattice energy?

Answer»

please mark this as brainlest answer Explanation:lattice energy depends upon two factors:charge on ion (greater the charge higher is the lattice energy)size of ion (smaller the size of ion greater is the lattice energy)AMONG KCl and MgO, K has charge +1 and MG has charge +2. Also, K + has larger IONIC radii than Mg +2 . So, both the factors add up and the lattice energy of MgO is higher than KCl.LiF and LiBr have the same CATION and same ionic charge. So lattice energy depends upon the size of anion. F − is smaller than Br − , therefore, lattice energy of LiF is higher than LiBr.MgF 2 has a charge +2 while NaCl has a charge +1. Therefore, lattice energy of MgF 2 is higher than NaCl.

33.

Underwhat conditions an oxidation reaction can be called as combustion reaction? Illustrate your answer with examples.

Answer»

on reaction involves loss of electrons/addition of oxygen/removal of hydrogen.Combustion reaction involves burning of SUBSTANCE in presence of oxygen and RELEASE of energy in the form of HEAT , light etc1.Oxidation reaction can be CALLED as combustion reaction  only when they release energy in the form of heat, light etc.For example:CH4+2O2 ------>CO2 +2H2O + Energy2. Generally all hydrocarbons show the property of combustion oxidation reaction.

37.

Why do carbocations undergo a variety of reactions?

Answer»

tions have only SIX electrons in their valence shell making them electron deficient. Thus, they are unstable electrophiles and will react very quickly with nucleophiles to FORM new bonds. Because of their reactivity with heteroatoms, carbocations are very USEFUL INTERMEDIATES in many common organic reactions.

38.

40.

Why do lakes freeze from top towards bottom?

Answer»

energy is NEEDED to be removed for FREEZING and top part is EXPOSED to the air.

41.

Why are reactions of ionic compounds very fast?

Answer» MPOUNDS in solution react faster than molecular compounds. This is because Ionic compounds break apart to FORM free ions. Therefore, there are no bonds to break so the reaction is fast. COVALENT compounds, on the other HAND, have to break bonds FIRST as they react, so the reaction is often slower.
42.

OF2 is known as oxygen difuoride and not florine oxide why?

Answer»

oxygen and fluorine, fluorine is more electronegative. This in OF2 it has a negative OXIDATION state(-1) .OF2 is a fluoride of oxygen and not oxide of fluoride. According to CONVENTION more electronegative element is written AFTERWARDS. That is why OF2 is written and not F2O (Fluorine oxide)
