A teacher challenged the students to create a test for distinguishing an ionic white crystalline solid from a polar covalent white crystalline solid by 2 tests. What properties would you exploit to test the solids? Give examples of each substance and state the results you would expect if you ran the test.

In a sample of oxygen gas at room temperature, the average kinetic energy of all the balls stays constant. which postulate of kinetic molecular theory best explains how this is possible? a. attractive forces between gas particles are negligible because the particles of an ideal gas are moving so quickly. b. collisions between gas particles are elastic; there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy. c. gases consist of a large number of small particles, with a lot of space between the particles. d. gas particles are in constant, random motion, and higher kinetic energy means faster movement.

How are isotopes of the same chemical element alike? how are they different?

Inside a flashbulb, oxygen surrounds a thin coil of magnesium. when the flashbulb is set off, a chemical reaction takes place in which magnesium combines with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. which of the chemical equations matches the reaction above? a. mg + o2 mgo2 + energy b. 2mg + o mg2o + energy c. 2mg + o2 2mgo + energy d. mg + o mgo + energy
