why might the melting point of the crystals obtained in this experiment be close to but below one of the reference melting points and melt slowly over several degrees

Why is the bond angle in a water molecule less than the bond angle of methane? a. the central oxygen atom in water has two lone pairs of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has no lone pairs. b. the central hydrogen atom in water has one lone pair of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has two lone pairs. c. the central oxygen atom in water has four lone pairs of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has only one lone pair. d. the central oxygen atom exerts more repulsive force on surrounding atoms than the central carbon atom in methane does. reset next

What will most likely happen when two bromine atoms bond together?

Apump contains 0.5 l of air at 203 kpa. you draw back on the piston of the pump, expanding the volume until the pressure reads 50.8 kpa. what is the new volume of the air pump
