Ahot metal plate at 150°c has been placed in air at room temperature. which event would most likely take place over the next few minutes? molecules in both the metal and the surrounding air will start moving at lower speeds. molecules in both the metal and the surrounding air will start moving at higher speeds. the air molecules that are surrounding the metal will slow down, and the molecules in the metal will speed up. the air molecules that are surrounding the metal will speed up, and the molecules in the metal will slow down.

organisms are more likely to be more preserved in mud than sand because mud is moist and wet, while sand is very dry.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
