Which of the following noble gas is least Polarisable? Helium Why is argon a stable element? Nearly all of the argon in the Earth’s atmosphere is radiogenic argon-40, derived from the decay of potassium-40 in the Earth’s crust. The complete octet (eight electrons) in the outer atomic shell makes argon stable and resistant to bonding […]
Is gravity the same in a plane?
Is gravity the same in a plane? You are correct that the force of gravity is slightly less the further you get from the earth. Airlines typically cruise around 30,000 – 35,000 feet. The force of gravity on Everest is about 0.434% less than the standard 9.8N/kg. This means that one pound at Sea Level […]
What is effect of intensity of light?
What is effect of intensity of light? Intensity cannot change the cut off frequency or stopping potential. High intensity means more number of photons, so chances of hitting to electron by them increase and hence more photo electron are emitted i.e., photo current increases. Why intensity decreases as distance from the light source increases this […]
Can electrons exist alone?
Can electrons exist alone? Electrons have mass, charge, angular momentum, an intrinsic magnetic moment and helicity, but they have no known substructure. No two electrons can occupy the same space at the same time. They are part of every atom but they can exist separately on their own as well. What happens to the atoms […]
What are 5 scientific laws?
What are 5 scientific laws? What are the five scientific laws? The five most popular scientific laws are Hooke’s Law of Elasticity, Archimedes’ Principle of Buoyancy, Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures, Bernoulli’s Law of Fluid Dynamics and Fourier’s Law of Heat Conduction. Do scientific laws and legal laws have anything in common? Scientific laws may […]
Are fault lines dangerous?
Are fault lines dangerous? Major active faults such as the Hayward Fault are associated with many hazards. The most obvious hazard is that of large earthquakes, which induce ground shaking over a large area that can cause heavy objects to fall and windows to shatter, and can cause structural damage to buildings and bridges. How […]
What periodic trend is most important for determining metal reactivity?
What periodic trend is most important for determining metal reactivity? Metallic and Non-metallic Character Within a compound, metal atoms have relatively low attraction for electrons, as indicated by their low electronegativities. By following the trend summary in the figure below, you can see that the most reactive metals would reside in the lower left portion […]
What happens if thrust is greater than drag?
How do dragsters reduce drag?
How do dragsters reduce drag? Because the dragster has parts moving against one another, friction is created. You can help reduce it by making sure the axles are free to rotate, and that the wheels and tires are not rubbing on the car body. Drag: Here’s where aerodynamics come into play. How are CO2 dragsters […]
