What is called inertia? Newton’s first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This is also known as the law of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain […]
What does conductivity depend on?
What does conductivity depend on? What does conductivity depend on? It depends on the concentration, mobility, the valence state of the ionized species in a solution, and the temperature at which a measurement is taken. The higher the concentration of the ions in water, the higher the conductivity. How does thermal conductivity depend on density? […]
What is difference between mean and median?
How do we know the nucleus is positive?
How do we know the nucleus is positive? Rutherford deduced that the atomic nucleus was positively charged because the alpha particles that he fired at the metal foils were positively charged, and like charges repel. In Rutherford’s experiments most of the alpha particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected. Is a nucleus positive? […]
How did you separate the components of salt water solution?
How did you separate the components of salt water solution? For example, water can be separated from salt solution by simple distillation. This method works because water has a much lower boiling point than salt. When the solution is heated, the water evaporates. It is then cooled and condensed into a separate container. What technique […]
Which statement best describes what occurs during a chemical reaction?
Which statement best describes what occurs during a chemical reaction? During a chemical reaction both the identity and the properties of a substance change. Chemical reaction between two substances occurs to form a new substance which is completely different. Therefore, it has different appearance and physical state as well as the chemical properties. Which statement […]
What is the change of state when wax melts?
What does the atomic mass tell you?
What does the atomic mass tell you? The atomic mass tells us the weight of protons and neutrons. How do you know how many electrons there are surrounding the nucleus of a particular atom? Why isn’t the atomic mass always a whole number? Atomic mass is never an integer number for several reasons: The atomic […]
What are the 3 types of wells?
What are the 3 types of wells? There are three types of private drinking water wells. Dug/Bored wells are holes in the ground dug by shovel or backhoe. Driven wells are constructed by driving pipe into the ground. Drilled wells are constructed by percussion or rotary-drilling machines. Does rain fill your well? While your well […]
What are the limitations of valence bond theory?
What are the limitations of valence bond theory? Limitations of Valence Bond Theory The theory assumes that electrons are localized in specific areas. It does not give a quantitative interpretation of the thermodynamic or kinetic stabilities of coordination compounds. No distinction between weak and strong ligands. Why MOT is preferred over VBT? molecular orbital theory […]
