What makes a reaction dangerous? Even slow reactions can be hazardous if they involve large amounts of material or if the heat and gases are confined, such as in a sealed storage drum. Drums that are swollen and distorted from over-pressurization are potentially very dangerous. They may rupture at any time without warning and release […]
Why do atoms get bigger across a period?
Why do atoms get bigger across a period? 4 Answers. As you move from left to right across a period, the number of protons in the nucleus increases. These lower energy levels shield the valence electrons from the attractive effects of the atom’s nucleus, so the atomic radius gets larger. Why do atoms get smaller […]
How fast can a freight train accelerate?
How fast can a freight train accelerate? The final factor and one frequently overlooked is the tractive effort required for acceleration of the train. It takes about 10 pounds per ton to accelerate to a speed of 6 miles per hour in one minute or 12 miles per hour in two minutes, a reasonable rate […]
Do air bubbles get bigger?
How many neutrons does 19 9 F?
How many neutrons does 19 9 F? 10 neutrons Is fluorine-19 an ion? According to the periodic tale, fluorine, F, has an atomic number of 19. We can conclude that fluorine gained an electron to reach a stable octet configuration, and because it has an extra electron it is now called a fluorine ion. Why […]
Is F2 a single or double bond?
What are the negative effects of eutrophication?
What are the negative effects of eutrophication? Oxygen depletion, or hypoxia, is a common effect of eutrophication in water. The direct effects of hypoxia include fish kills, especially the death of fish that need high levels of dissolved oxygen. Changes in fish communities may have an impact on the whole aquatic ecosystem and may deplete […]
What are the 3 types of serves in volleyball?
What are the 3 types of serves in volleyball? For competitive volleyball, there are three main types of overhand serves: the floater, the topspin, and the jump serve. Try them all to find out which one suits you best, but keep in mind that you will want to be somewhat proficient in all three. What […]
What is the main purpose of using machine?
What is the main purpose of using machine? The basic purpose for which most simple machines are designed is to reduce the effort (force) required to perform a simple task. To achieve this, the force applied must act over a longer distance or period of time resulting in the same amount of work being performed […]
Can walk on Mars?
Can walk on Mars? But how will astronauts walk on Mars, where the gravity is a third of Earth’s? Volunteers walked on force-monitoring platforms while the aircraft flew up and down to recreate martian gravity. The results showed that the ideal walking speed on Mars will be only a little more than half of the […]
