8. Which of the following will explain this observation, the surface tension of CHBR3 is greater than that of CHCI3? A. Chlorine is more electronegative than bromine thus CHBR3 has stronger H-bond than CHCI3. B. CHBR3 has a higher molar mass, more polarizable thus stronger dispersion forces. C. CHCI3 exhibits dipole- dipole force thus lesser surface tension. D. CHBR3 is less polarizable thus stronger dispersion force.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
