Which solid has the highest melting point? tungsten Do impurities lower melting point? The presence of even a small amount of impurity will lower a compound’s melting point by a few degrees and broaden the melting point temperature range. Because the impurity causes defects in the crystalline lattice, it is easier to overcome the intermolecular […]

Who is the father of atom? Basic Atomic Structure. The idea that everything is made of atoms was pioneered by John Dalton (1766-1844) in a book he published in 1808. He is sometimes called the “father” of atomic theory, but judging from this photo on the right “grandfather” might be a better term. How thick […]

What is needed for an ecosystem to support the greatest variety of organisms? Answer: An ecosystem must contain producers, consumers, decomposers, and dead and inorganic matter. All ecosystems require energy from an external source – this is usually the sun. Plants need sunlight to photosynthesize and produce glucose, providing an energy source for other organisms. […]

Is tea a colloid suspension or solution? A mixture with particles that can be easily seen and separated by being filtered or settling. If you try to put too much sugar into a cup of tea, it will not fully dissolve and will leave some sugar on the bottom of the cup, making the tea […]

How do you find distance rate and time problems? The formula for distance problems is: distance = rate × time or d = r × t. Things to watch out for: Make sure that you change the units when necessary. For example, if the rate is given in miles per hour and the time is […]

What are 10 sources of energy? What are Different Alternative Sources of Energy? Solar Energy. Wind Energy. Geothermal Energy. Hydrogen Energy. Tidal Energy. Wave Energy. Hydroelectric Energy. Biomass Energy. What causes dirty energy? Dirty power originates outside of and within your facility. Sources like lightning, utility switching, capacitor switching, and faults on the utility’s distribution […]

What is the black thing on a guitar called? The Soundhole: Most acoustic guitars have a sound hole in the middle of the guitar, though some guitars may have the sound hole in a different spot or not have one at all. The Bridge: The black part of the guitar on the other end of […]

What is the main difference between kinetic and potential energy? Energy stored in an object due to its position is Potential Energy. Energy that a moving object has due to its motion is Kinetic Energy. What are the two factors affecting kinetic energy? 1. Explain that there are two factors that affect how much kinetic […]

Do convection heaters use a lot of electricity? Gas heaters are generally a little cheaper to run than electricity heaters. Convection gas heaters draw in the cold air and heats it up using a gas-powered element. It then evenly disperses this heat throughout the room. A convection-radiant element is similar, however the element is slightly […]
