Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: In the given figure, the red and blue spheres are stated to represent atoms of two different gases, such as helium and neon. The image that describes the best arrangement of molecules in a mixture of gases is to be explained.
Concept introduction: Noble gases such as helium and neon are omnipresent. According to properties of gases,
- The molecules present in gas are loosely packed and do not consist of definite volume and definite shape.
- Gas molecules are miscible with each other.
- Gas molecules do not react chemically with each other.
To determine: If the image (a) describes the best arrangement of molecules in a mixture of gases.
(b)
To determine: If the image (b) describes the best arrangement of molecules in a mixture of gases.
(c)
To determine: If the image (c) describes the best arrangement of molecules in a mixture of gases.
(d)
To determine: If the image (d) describes the best arrangement of molecules in a mixture of gases.
