Different boiling points!
Explanation:
Water and nitrogen both have very different boiling points.
Pure water has a boiling point of
Nitrogen, on the other hand, has a very low boiling point, which is
Therefore, at room temperature, which is around
They have different condensation points, affecting their covalent bonds and the intensity of compounds in an area.
Explanation:
Compared to Nitrogen, Water has a much higher condensation point of 0-100 degrees celsius, nitrogen at-195.8.
Therefore, when water is still in liquid state, the nitrogen will be in the state gas. This is due to the difference in condensation point, which affects the covalent bonds between the compounds, affecting the state of matter of the compound directly.
When there is a stronger covalent bond, the force of attraction between compounds are stronger, therefore causing the compounds to be more densely packed, changing its state. (stronger covalent bonds -> more densely packed -> solid
weaker covalent bonds -> less dense -> gas)
Due to the difference in condensation points, both covalent compounds may not be able to be in the same state of matter under the same temperature.
Consider the degree of
Explanation:
For the dinitrogen molecule, the
On the other hand, in the water molecule, while the
....the heteroatom polarizes electron density towards itself to give
The result? Water has a normal boiling point of
