What happens when electrons get excited? When an atom is in an excited state, the electron can drop all the way to the ground state in one go, or stop on the way in an intermediate level. Electrons do not stay in excited states for very long – they soon return to their ground states, […]
Do polar molecules have to be asymmetrical?
Do polar molecules have to be asymmetrical? Polar molecules MUST have an asymmetrical structure to be polar, because symmetry cancels out net charge. Asymmetrical molecules are always polar. Symmetrical molecules can be polar and non-polar. Polarity is dependent on the difference in electronegativity of the molecule’s atoms and shape. What is an example of asymmetrical? […]

What is meant by a free electron? 1 : an electron within a conducting substance (as a metal) but not permanently attached to any atom. 2 : an electron moving in a vacuum. Who proposed free electron model? Hendrik A. What are the types of free electron theory? Classical free electron theory of metals (Drude […]
Does blue light have a higher frequency than green?
Does blue light have a higher frequency than green? Blue light has a shorter wavelength and therefore a higher frequency. Blue light has a shorter wavelength and therefore a higher frequency as compared to green light. Some reptiles can see light of shorter wavelengths than humans can see. Which is the least refracted Colour in […]
Why is burning of candle is both physical and chemical change?
Why is burning of candle is both physical and chemical change? Wax of the candle is made of carbon and hydrogen which reacts with oxygen on burning and changes into carbon dioxide gas and water which escapes into the air. This is a chemical change. As a result, candle melts and reduces in size. This […]
Does current always flow in a loop?
Does current always flow in a loop? Current doesn’t have to flow in a loop, if something is losing charge (like an hot electron plate in space) the charge leaves and never comes back because the electrons boil off. Current is defined by amperes law you could imagine drawing a surface around the plate and […]
What element is similar to nickel?
What element is similar to nickel? Metal Can nickel exist as a gas? Elements can be classified based on their physical states (States of Matter) e.g. gas, solid or liquid. This element is a solid. Nickel is classified as a “Transition Metal” which are located in Groups 3 – 12 of the Periodic Table. What […]
Is the Ferber method cruel?
Is the Ferber method cruel? The Ferber method is not appropriate as a treatment for most child sleep problems.
