Answer from: misslux

I believe the answer is C. An increase in temperature increases the distance between gas particles. At constant pressure, when there is an increase in temperature the motion of the gas particles will increase. The effect is that increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of gas molecules, making them move more faster and vibrate more. This will result to an increase in inter-molecular collision hence the molecules will move further and further away from each other.

Answer from: bikkiecuanas13

option c. an increase in temperature increase the distance between gas particles.

Justification:

Remember that the kinetic energy of the particles is directly related with the temperature. So, as implication as the temperarue increase the kinetic energy increase.

After that remember that the kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed of the particles. So, an increase of kinetic energy is related with the increase of the speed of the particles.

Finally, reason that as the speed of the particles is higher the more apart they are and the gas will occupy more space (volume).

In the kinetic theory for ideal gases you do not take in account the intermolecular forces (they are supposed to be inexistent) but you do deal with the fact that the temperature increase the velocity of the molecules which means more speed and more free space among them.

Answer from: Quest

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}$ and electronic configuration of phosphorous is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{3}$ .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

$3na + p \rightarrow na_{3}p$

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

Electrons are transferred from atoms of to atoms of this transfer makes the sodium atoms and the

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).
