What is the two properties of gravity? Property 1: The gravitational force is a long-range force, which exists between two particles, regardless of the medium that separates them. Property 2: The gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the mass of the two bodies. This means a larger mass will yield a larger […]

Is n3 Isoelectronic? Atoms and ions that have the same electron configuration are said to be isoelectronic. Examples of isoelectronic species are N3–, O2–, F–, Ne, Na+, Mg2+, and Al3+ (1s22s22p6). Is Ca2+ Isoelectronic with AR? For atoms/ions: For example, the K+ ion is isoelectronic with argon. Therefore, K+ and Ar are said to be […]

How is density directly proportional to volume? Density and Volume are inversely proportional to each other. Mass and volume are not the same. When density increases, volume decreases. When volume increases, density decreases. What do density mass and volume have in common? An object’s density is the ratio of mass to volume of an object. […]
