What happens when things are heated differently? When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object […]

What does the 2 stand for in li2o? The ionic formula for Lithium Oxide is Li2O . This makes oxygen a O−2 anion. Ionic bonds form when the charges between the metal cation and non-metal anion are equal and opposite. This means that two Li+2 cations will balance with one O−2 anions. What is the […]

What is the pH level of a banana? 4.50 – 5.20 What fruit has the highest pH? Here are the 13 most acidic fruits and their pH value as observed by the Clemson University: Lemon Juice (2.00 – 2.60) Limes (2.00 – 2.80) Blue Plums (2.80 – 3.40) Grapes (2.90 – 3.82) Pomegranates (2.93 – […]

What is the result of constructive interference? Wave interference When two waves come close to one another, their effects add together. This is known as constructive interference, in which two waves (of the same wavelength) interact in such a way that they are aligned, leading to a new wave that is bigger than the original […]

Can the velocity of a particle change even if its speed is constant give examples? Give example. Yes. Even though its speed is constant, if it is not traveling in a straight line, the velocity can vary. Can an object have zero velocity but non zero acceleration? Acceleration is the change in velocity, not the […]

What is the highest on Richter scale? In theory, the Richter scale has no upper limit, but, in practice, no earthquake has ever been registered on the scale above magnitude 8.6. (That was the Richter magnitude for the Chile earthquake of 1960. The moment magnitude for this event was measured at 9.5.). Where is the […]

What is the color of the solution when AgNO3 is mixed with NaCl? For example, when an aqueous solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) is added to the aqueous solution of sodium chloride (NaCl), a white precipitate of silver chloride (AgCl) is formed that is indicated by the following chemical reaction. What are the products of […]

Should you lean forward while skiing? You only need to lean forwards enough to put your centre of gravity over the middle of the ski. The reason that this has become a myth is that one of the most common mistakes made by people learning to ski, is that they lean back, and that instructors […]

Which planet has the greatest eccentricity? Mercury How is Earth’s eccentricity calculated? The formula to determine the eccentricity of an ellipse is the distance between foci divided by the length of the major axis. What is the maximum allowed value for eccentricity? 0.057 Is Earth’s orbital eccentricity large or small? The eccentricity of Earth’s orbit […]

What is an electron changing energy levels called? If an atom, ion, or molecule is at the lowest possible energy level, it and its electrons are said to be in the ground state. If it is at a higher energy level, it is said to be excited, or any electrons that have higher energy than […]
