Answer:

The intermolecular bonding in the solid is van der Waals dispersion forces. That means that it will have a lower melting point than diamond or graphite where you have giant covalent bonding. In fact C60 sublimes at 800 K (527°C). Diamond and graphite sublime at around 4000 K.

What is the oxidation number of pt in k2ptcl6?

padilas [110]

Your compound is $K_{2}PtCl_{6}$ .

Remember that the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound must add up to zero. Cl has an oxidation number of -1 because it is a halogen K has an oxidation number of +1 because it is an alkali metal, which exhibits an oxidation state of +1 in compounds.

Since you have 6 atoms of Cl, you have -1(6) = -6 for the Cl. Since you 2 atoms of K, you have +1(2) = +2 for the K. The oxidation number of Pt must make all the oxidation numbers add up to zero:
+2 + (-6) + oxidation number of Pt = 0
-4 + oxidation number of Pt = 0
Oxidation number of Pt = 4

Molecular bromine is 24 percent dissociated at 1600 k and 1.00 bar in the equilibrium br2 (

dlinn [17]

Br2 == 2Br

24% dissociated => n total moles, 0.24 mol*n of Br, and 0.76*n mol of Br2

=> partial pressure of Br, P Br = 0.24 bar, and
partical pressure of Br2, P Br2 = 0.76 bar

kp = (P Br)^2 / P Br2 = (0.24)^2 / 0.76 = 0.0758

Neutrons were discovered in 1932, more than 10 years after the existence of isotopes was confirmed. What property of electrons a

kirza4 [7]

Protons and neutrons are the sub-atomic particles present in the nucleus of an atom where as electrons are present revolving round the nucleus in orbits. Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged where as a neutron is a neutral species. It is the presence of electric charge that lead to the discovery of electrons (negative charge) and protons (positive charge), while it took time to discover neutral as they were electrically neutral species. Neutrons carrying no charge were not detected easily by passing electromagnetic radiations. Therefore, neutrons were the last of the three subatomic particles, to be discovered.
