Answer all parts (A, B, & C) A) What type of intermolecular force is used to explain the observed trend in boiling points for the Group 4A molecules shown in the figure? B) Why is the boiling point of ammonia, NH3, higher than the boiling point of PH3? C) Why is the boiling point of PH3, higher than the boiling point of SiH4
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.
