Questions and Answers

What is chemical kinetics?

  • The study of the speed at which chemical and physical processes take place (correct)
  • The study of the structure of organic compounds
  • The study of the behavior of gases
  • The study of the composition of chemical substances

In chemical kinetics, what is the definition of reaction rate?

  • The energy change in a chemical reaction
  • The concentration of reactants at the start of a reaction
  • The number of moles involved in a chemical reaction
  • The amount of product that forms in a given interval of time or the amount of reactant that disappears in a given interval of time (correct)

What type of fission results in the formation of two ions, one negative and the other positive?

How are atoms, ions, and molecules held together in solids?

<p>In solids, atoms, ions, and molecules are held together by relatively strong chemical forces - ionic bond, covalent bond, or by intermolecular Vander Waal’s forces.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How can solids generally be classified?

What is the characteristic feature of a crystalline solid?

<p>A crystalline solid exists as small crystals, each crystal having a characteristic geometrical shape. In a crystal, the atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in a regular, repeating three-dimensional pattern called the crystal lattice.</p> Signup and view all the answers
