Ionic compounds have high melting points due to the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between ions, which require a great deal of energy to break.

The high melting points of ionic compounds are best explained by the B option: ionic bonds require a great deal of energy to break. This is because ionic compounds are formed by the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. This strong inter-ionic bonding makes ionic compounds hard, requiring substantial energy to overcome and result in a high melting point.

Answer:

Mass will remain constant...

Explanation:

All will change but not mass in gas phase...

Explanation:

During the 19th century the accepted atomic model, was Dalton's atomic model, which postulated the atom was an "individible and indestructible mass".

However, at the end of 19th century J.J. Thomson began experimenting with cathode ray tubes and found out that atoms contain small subatomic particles with a negative charge (later called electrons).  This meant the atom was not indivisible as Dalton proposed. So, Thomson developed a new atomic model.

Taking into consideration that at that time there was still no evidence of the atom nucleus, Thomson thought the electrons (with negative charge) were immersed in the atom of positive charge that counteracted the negative charge of the electrons. Just like the raisins embedded in a pudding or bread.

That is why this model was called the raisin pudding atomic model.

"The atomic mass of an atom tells us the mass of an atom relative to carbon-12, which is assigned a mass of exactly 12 atomic mass units (amu). It is approximately equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. The correct answer to the question is: How much the atom weighs.

The atomic mass is a measure of the mass of a single atom, and it is useful for comparing the masses of different atoms. It is important to note that the atomic mass is not an absolute measure of mass, but a relative one, based on the carbon-12 standard. The atomic mass listed on the periodic table for a given element is the weighted average of the masses of all the naturally occurring isotopes of that element.

To clarify the other options: - The number of electrons in the atom: This is indicated by the atomic number, not the atomic mass. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and for a neutral atom, it is also equal to the number of electrons.

- Which row the element is in on the periodic table: The period (row) in which an element is located on the periodic table is determined by the number of electron shells or energy levels in the atom. This is related to the atomic number, not the atomic mass.

- The number of energy levels in the atom: Similar to the period in which an element is located, the number of energy levels (or electron shells) is also determined by the atomic number and not the atomic mass. The electron configuration of an atom, which is related to its position in the periodic table, dictates the number of energy levels."

Explanation:

The Work [tex]W[/tex] done by a Force [tex]F[/tex] refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

[tex]W=(F)(d)[/tex] (1)  

In this case both (the force and the distance in the path) are parallel (this means they are in the same direction), so the work [tex]W[/tex] performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box [tex]F=45N[/tex] by the distance traveled [tex]d=12m[/tex].

Answer:

2.34 L

Explanation:

Assuming the pressure inside the balloon remains constant, then we can use Charle's law, which states that for a gas kept at constant pressure, the ratio between the volume of the gas and its temperature remainst constant:

[tex]\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

where in this problem we have:

[tex]V_1 = 2.50 L[/tex] is the initial volume

[tex]V_2 [/tex] is the final volume

[tex]T_1 = 30.0^{\circ}C+273 = 303 K[/tex] is the initial temperature

[tex]T_2 = 11.0^{\circ}C+273 = 284 K[/tex] is the final temperature

Substituting into the equation and solving for V2, we find the final volume:

[tex]V_2 = \frac{V_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(2.50 L)(284 K)}{303 K}=2.34 L[/tex]

Final answer:

The volume of a balloon filled to 2.50 L at 30.0°C will decrease to approximately 2.34 L when the temperature drops to 11.0°C, as calculated using Charles's Law.

Explanation:

To determine the new volume of a balloon when the temperature drops from 30.0°C to 11.0°C, we can use Charles's Law which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in kelvins. First, we convert the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15:

With an initial volume (V1) of 2.50 L, we can set up the proportionality:

V1/T1 = V2/T2
Solving for the new volume (V2):

V2 = V1 · (T2/T1)
V2 = 2.50 L · (284.15 K / 303.15 K)
V2 = 2.50 L · 0.9373
V2 ≈ 2.34 L
The volume of the balloon will decrease to approximately 2.34 L when the temperature drops to 11.0°C.

The Mariner 10 probe was launched by NASA on November 3rd, 1973, with the purpose of exploring the characteristics of two planets in the solar system that were closest to the Sun, Mercury and Venus.  

In addition, it was launched to explore the atmosphere and surface of both planets and prove that it was possible to use gravitational assistance (also called slingshot effect, a special orbital maneuver in order to use the gravitational field energy of a planet or massive body to accelerate or slow the probe and change the direction of its trajectory) in long interplanetary trips to save fuel.  

In this case, Mariner 10 first arrived at Venus and succeded in using its gravitational field to accelerate its trajectory towards Mercury.

The planet visited by Mariner 10 in 1974 was Mercury.

The property of objects best measured by their capacitance is their ability to store electrical charge.

The property of objects that is best measured by their capacitance is their ability to store electrical charge. Capacitance is a measure of how much charge an object can hold per unit voltage. It depends on the size and shape of the object, as well as the material between its conductive plates or electrodes.

Capacitors are devices that are specifically designed to have a high capacitance. They are used in many electronic circuits to store and release electrical energy. The capacitance of a capacitor can be increased by increasing the area of the plates, decreasing the distance between them, or changing the dielectric material between them.

Measuring capacitance is important in various applications, such as designing and optimizing electronic circuits, as well as understanding the behavior of electrical systems in general.

r^2 = 8.314 * 273 / ( 4 * pi * (1.01*10^5) * (6.022*10^23) * (0.2*10^-6))

r = 1.217*10^-10

r = 0.1217 nm

The radius of the helium atom in helium gas can be determined using the mean free path and the concept of cross-sectional area.

The radius of a helium atom can be determined using the mean free path and the concept of cross-sectional area. The mean free path is the average distance a molecule travels between collisions. In this case, the mean free path of a helium atom in helium gas at standard temperature and pressure is given as 0.2 um.

To find the radius of the helium atom, we can relate the cross-sectional area, which is 4r², to the mean free path using the formula (N/V)(4r²)(λ) = 1. Rearranging this formula, we have r = sqrt(1 / (4 * N / V * λ)), where N/V is the molar density of helium gas at standard temperature and pressure.

Since we are given the mean free path as 0.2 um, we can substitute this value into the formula. The molar density of helium gas at standard temperature and pressure is approximately 1.78 x 10^25 atoms/m³. Plugging in these values, we can calculate the radius of the helium atom in nanometers.

Using the formula, r = sqrt( 1 / (4 * 1.78 x 10^25 * 0.2 x 10^-6)), we can simplify and convert to nanometers to get r ≈ 0.109 nm. Therefore, the radius of the helium atom is approximately 0.109 nanometers.

Answer:

E) d/sqrt2

Explanation:

The initial electric force between the two charge is given by:

[tex]F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}[/tex]

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

d is the separation between the two charges

We can also rewrite it as

[tex]d=\sqrt{k\frac{q_1 q_2}{F}}[/tex]

So if we want to make the force F twice as strong,

F' = 2F

the new distance between the charges would be

[tex]d'=\sqrt{k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(2F)}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sqrt{k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(2F)}}=\frac{d}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

so the correct option is E.

The potential energy of a satellite in orbit is given by

[tex]U=-\frac{GmM}{R+h}[/tex]

where

G is the gravitational constant

m is the mass of the satellite

M is the mass of the Earth

R is the Earth's radius

h is the altitude of the satellite

If we call

[tex]U_A=-\frac{GmM}{R+h_A}[/tex]

the potential energy of satellite A, with

[tex]h_A = 6380 km = 6.38\cdot 10^6 m[/tex]

being its altitude, and

[tex]U_B=-\frac{GmM}{R+h_B}[/tex]

the potential energy of satellite B, with

[tex]h_B = 22700 km = 22.7\cdot 10^6 m[/tex]

being the altitude of satellite B

and

[tex]R=6370 km = 6.37 \cdot 10^6 m[/tex] being the Earth's radius

The ratio between the potential energy of satellite B to that of satellite A will be

[tex]\frac{U_B}{U_A}=\frac{R+h_A}{R+h_B}=\frac{6.37\cdot 10^6 m+6.38\cdot 10^6 m}{6.37\cdot  10^6 m+22.7\cdot 10^6 m}=0.439[/tex]

(b) 0.439

The kinetic energy of a satellite in orbit has a similar expression to the potential energy

[tex]K=\frac{1}{2} \frac{GmM}{R+h}[/tex]

As before, if we call

[tex]K_A=\frac{1}{2} \frac{GmM}{R+h_A}[/tex]

the kinetic energy of satellite A, with

[tex]h_A = 6380 km = 6.38\cdot 10^6 m[/tex]

being its altitude, and

[tex]K_B=\frac{1}{2} \frac{GmM}{R+h_B}[/tex]

the kinetic energy of satellite B, with

[tex]h_B = 22700 km = 22.7\cdot 10^6 m[/tex]

being the altitude of satellite B,

the ratio between the kinetic energy of satellite B to that of satellite A is

[tex]\frac{K_B}{K_A}=\frac{R+h_A}{R+h_B}=\frac{6.37\cdot 10^6 m+6.38\cdot 10^6 m}{6.37\cdot  10^6 m+22.7\cdot 10^6 m}=0.439[/tex]

(c) Satellite B

The total energy of each satellite is given by the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy:

[tex]E= U+K = -\frac{GMm}{R+h}+\frac{1}{2} \frac{GMm}{R+h}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h}[/tex]

For satellite A we have:

[tex]E_A = -\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_A}[/tex]

While for satellite B we have

[tex]E_B = -\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_B}[/tex]

We see that the total energy is inversely proportional to the altitude of the satellite: therefore, the higher the satellite, the smaller the energy. So, satellite A will have the greater total energy (in magnitude), since [tex]h_A < h_B[/tex]; however, the value of the total energy is negative, so actually satellite B will have a greater energy than satellite A.

(d) [tex]3.07\cdot 10^8 J[/tex]

The total energy of satellite A is

[tex]E_A = -\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_A}[/tex]

with

[tex]h_A = 6380 km = 6.38\cdot 10^6 m[/tex]

while the total energy of satellite B is

[tex]E_B = -\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_B}[/tex]

with

[tex]h_B = 22700 km = 22.7\cdot 10^6 m[/tex]

So the difference between the two energies is

[tex]E_B - E_A = -\frac{1}{2}\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}(35 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m +22.7\cdot 10^6 m}-(-\frac{1}{2}\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}(35 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m +6.38\cdot 10^6 m})=3.07\cdot 10^8 J[/tex]

Redox reactions

Explanation:

Redox (Reduction-Oxidation) reactions are reactions which involves the transfer of electrons. Here, one specie loses electrons while the other gains the electrons. The loss and gain of electrons makes one atom reduced while the other becomes oxidized. Transfer of electrons from one specie to another would eventually lead to a change in oxidation number of the reactants as they proceed to form products.

In non-redox reactions, there is no loss or gain of electrons and no change in oxidation number. An example is neutralization reaction.

Answer: Protons

Explanation: The number of protons corresponds to the atomic number.

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the total number of protons present in an element.

Each element of the periodic table has different atomic number because each of them have different number of protons.

For example, atomic number of Na is 11, and atomic number of Ca is 20.

On the other hand, atomic mass is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

For example, atomic mass of nitrogen is 14 that is, it contains 7 protons and 7 neutrons.

Thus, we can conclude that all atoms of the same element must have the same number of protons.

Explanation:

You can solve this with kinematics or with energy.  It looks like you want to use energy.

Energy is conserved, so:

initial energy = final energy

Kinetic energy = potential energy

1/2 m v² = m g h

1/2 v² = g h

h = v² / (2g)

If we double the velocity:

H = (2v)² / (2g)

H = 4v² / (2g)

H = 4h

So the new height is 4h.

D. -m

Explanation:

The magnification of an image is equal to the following ratio:

[tex]m = \frac{y'}{y}[/tex]

where

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the real object

We have two situations:

- When m is positive, it means that y' has the same sign of y --> so the image has same orientation of the object (= image is upright)

- When m is negative, it means that y' has opposite sign to y --> so the image has opposite orientation to the object (= image is upside down)

So, the correct answer that describes an upside-down image is

D. -m

Final answer:

The representation of an upside-down image in optical physics is given as option D. -m, indicating a negative magnification, which means the image is inverted relative to the object.

Explanation:

The question is related to the formation of images by mirrors or lenses in physics and specifically refers to the sign conventions used to describe the nature of images. An upside-down image is produced when the magnification (m) is negative. This negative magnification indicates that the image is inverted relative to the object. In optics, a real image (produced by a single lens or mirror that can be displayed on a screen) is considered to be upside down if its magnification is negative. Thus, the option that represents an upside-down image is D. -m.

Current flows across a resistor.

Explanation:

Please mark brainliest and have a great day!

It's not exactly clear what you think the difference is between "through" and "across".

A resistor has two wires.  Electric current that flows into one wire, continues through the entire body of the resistor and out through the other wire.  If there's a crack or break anywhere along the body of the resistor, the circuit will be 'open' and the current will stop flowing.

Now, if you were to connect a voltmeter between the ends of the resistor, the meter would measure and indicate the difference in electric potential between those two points.  That would be called the voltage 'across' the resistor.  Numerically, it would be equal to the product of the resistor's resistance and the current through it.  

The wavelength of objects like baseballs is extremely small compared to the size of atoms, rendering such wavelengths undetectable in the macroscopic world. However, for subatomic particles like electrons, their wavelength can be comparable to the size of atoms, influencing their behavior and energy levels within the atom. X-rays have wavelengths comparable to the size of the structures they interact with, allowing them to be effective in observing atomic and molecular structures.

When considering the size of an atom, which is typically on the order of 0.1 nanometers (10-10 meters), and comparing it to the wavelengths of various particles or types of radiation, we can make several observations. For instance, the diameter of an atom's nucleus is approximately 10⁻¹⁴ meters.

If we calculate the wavelength of a 0.145 kg baseball moving at 40 m/s, the resultant wavelength would be about 10-34 meters. This is immeasurably small compared to the size of an atom, indicating Their wavelength is very small compared to the object's size.

However, for subatomic particles like electrons, the wavelength is of the same order of magnitude as the size of an atom. The wavelike behavior of electrons is significant when they are confined within the atom, as this affects their possible energy levels. In the case of X-rays, the wavelength is comparable to the size of the structures it interacts with, such as the distances between atoms in a molecule, allowing X-rays to 'see' these structures.

If we scale an atom up to a size comparable to a mid-sized campus, the nucleus would be only a tiny fraction of that size, possibly comparable to a small familiar object like a marble.

Final answer:

Wavelengths of everyday large objects are considerably smaller than the size of atoms, and thus their wave properties are not detectable. However, for subatomic particles like electrons, their wavelengths can be of the same order as the size of atoms, indicating observable wavelike behavior. X-rays have wavelengths comparable to atomic dimensions and can effectively image atomic structures.

Explanation:

When considering the scale of wavelengths to the size of atoms, it's important to understand that typically the wavelength of everyday large objects, such as a baseball, is considerably smaller than atomic dimensions. If we calculate the wavelength of a 0.145 kg baseball moving at a speed of 40 m/s, we would get a wavelength of approximately 10-34 m. This is so short that it is undetectable even with the most advanced scientific instruments and is much smaller than the size of an atom, which is in the order of 10-10 m.

In contrast, the phenomena of wave-particle duality, as demonstrated by electrons, shows that wavelike behavior becomes prominent when the wavelength of particles is on the order of magnitude of atoms. The classic example involves the wave nature of electrons showing quantized wavelengths that fit just right around an atom, explaining why they can only occupy specific energy levels within an atom.

The significance of wavelengths being comparable to atomic sizes comes into focus especially in fields involving the electromagnetic spectrum, such as when using X-rays to probe structures at the atomic or molecular level. Here, the fact that the wavelength of X-rays is comparable to the spacing between atoms allows for the detailed imaging of such structures through diffraction patterns.
