remember dissociation energy is the energy required to break a bond between to covalently bonded atoms. dissociation energy corresponds to the strength of a covalent bond. carbon compounds however have very high dissociation energy meaning it would be harder to break the bond between them than it is for a bond of lower dissociation energy. if the bonds cannot be broken then they cannot be used to form covalent bonds and thus are unreactive. they are unreactive partly because their dissociation energy is high. in other words for the slow ones jk lol: the higher the dissociation energy the less reactive. ex carbon compounds like C-C, C-H are unreactive

What the difference between dissociation and solvation?
Dissociation is when a person's conscious s completely or partially disrupted. Solvation is when the molecules become attracted within a solvent or solute.
Is oxygen's reactivity high or low?
Oxygen stays as diatomic molecules in the atmosphere. These 2 oxygen atoms are bond with a double bond. So reactivity of oxygen is low.
What is the separation of a compound into its constituent ions?
This process is called electrolysis. Electrolysis is the process of decomposition of a compound in its molten or aquous state allows electricity to flow through it and in turn gets dissociated into ions.
What is hydration of ion in aqueous solution?
The water molecules surround the negative ions and positive ions and pull them away into the solution. This process is called dissociation
What is he freedom of movement in molecules in a substance called?
The kinetic theory of molecules gives the idea about the movement and the behavior of the molecules in any different phase. The chemical reactivity of a particular molecule can be identified on the basis of kinetic theory of molecules. The phase of molecules changes and so changes it entropy ( movement of molecule in available space)
What makes molecules basic?
A low percentage of dissociation.
The process whereby water molecules surround ions during the process of dissolving is called?
dissociation
What is the initial cause of the dissociation of water molecules into hydrogen and hydroxide ions?
hydrolysis
What the difference between dissociation and solvation?
Dissociation is when a person's conscious s completely or partially disrupted. Solvation is when the molecules become attracted within a solvent or solute.
Is oxygen's reactivity high or low?
Oxygen stays as diatomic molecules in the atmosphere. These 2 oxygen atoms are bond with a double bond. So reactivity of oxygen is low.
When an acid or base dissolves in water what is the dependent on the number of molecules that break apart?
You think probable to dissociation constant.
What is the chemical properties of the molecules change to produce a new substance?
You think probable to chemical reactivity.
Which equation best represents the dissociation of the water molecules into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions?
The equation is: H2O------>H+ + OH-
What is the process by which particles in crystalline solids are separated and drawn into solution by water molecules?
disacotation or however the hell you spell it...
What happens to a particle when heated?
The magnitude of the vibration of its molecules gets increased.
What do molecules make?
A molecule is many order of magnitude smaller than a neuron. A neuron is made of molecules not the other way around.

This process is called electrolysis. Electrolysis is the process of decomposition of a compound in its molten or aquous state allows electricity to flow through it and in turn gets dissociated into ions.
