A chemical reference book says that substance X is not soluble in water explain what this means?
Sugar is not suluble in water inspite of the fact that it is not visible after we drop it into water. They are still two substances. However, salt is soluble in water which means that it lost its chemical integrity after we drop it into water.
What are the difference between ions and free radicals?
Polyatomic and molecular ions are often formed by the combination of elemental ions such as H+ with neutral molecules or by the loss of such elemental ions from neutral molecules. Many of these processes are acid-base reactions, as first theorized by German scientist Lauren Gaither. A radical ion is a free radical species that carries a charge. Radical ions are encountered in organic chemistry as reactive intermediates. For more details, check the link in wikipedia to the left of this column.An ion is an electrically charged atom or radical; it can have either a positive or negative charge, depending upon whether it has lost or gained electrons. A radical is a small group of atoms, such as the nitrate radical composed of one nitrogen and three oxygen atoms. When a compound such as potassium nitrate is dissolved in water, you then get the potassium ion, with a charge of plus one, and the nitrate ion with a charge of minus one. But when the compound is in solid form, it is not ionized and the radical is not an ion.Other version,, An atom or group of atoms having at least one unpaired electron or vacant valency is a radical, there are two types of radicals 1- charged radical or ion 2- free radical as one chlorine atom.
How is it possible that when adding protons while moving across a period the size of the atom actually shrinks why is the same trend not true as you move down a group?
As you move across a period, from left to right, both the number of electrons and protons of a neutral atom increase. The increasing number of protons and electrons cause a greater attration between the nucleus (that contains the protons) and the electrons. This increased attraction pulls electrons closer to the nucleus, thus decreasing the size of the atom. Whereas, moving down a group, the number of energy levels increase. The increased number of energy levels cause the atom to become greater in size inspite of the increase in protons. The protons in the outermost energy levels are attracted to the nucleus, but the attraction is less because of the increase in distance from the nucleus.
What is better for a Baseball Bat - scandium Alloy or Composite?
Firstly, what does "better" mean? To some, the sound of the contact that is made between the bat and ball means better, while others will say further distance off the bat is better and to others price can be better. If price were not the issue, composite is better to me. Better to me is the combination of distance off the bat, feel of the ball speed and impact off the bat and lastly, the sound it makes. Composites make a pop or rifle crack sound while scandium (another form of stronger aluminum that's mixed with boron) makes a ping sound. Secondly, inspite of all the advertising that composites are space-aged advanced hardened, long lasting materials made to endure hit after hit, the truth so far, is that composites don't last anywhere as long as scandium bats. Composites will crack / break much sooner than scandium / aluminum. My 14 year old son, who's a good hitter with average power, has gone through 3 composite bats, in a 3 year period. The experience with other kids we've grown up with have similar experiences. Until there's an objective and scientific breakthrough that proves composite to be superior to scandium, it's all marketing. Personally, what ever makes your kid (or you, since you're spending the dough) feel better, it's all a personal choice. I like the composites because of the feel, sound and over-all performance that I am willing to sacrifice the durability and price aspect. Lastly, think about this- would a bat that hits farther benefit your kid? That home run is still a home run whether it clears the fence by 2 feet or 20 feet; that soft line drive is a base hit at one at-bat and an out at another at-bat. You decide.
Why is benzoic acid more soluble in alkaline solution rather than neutral or acid solution?
It would depend on the solvent that phenol or benzoic acid are being placed in. Benzoic acid would be more soluble in a polar solvent because of the carbonyl group's extreme electronegativity.
