Answer:

Another name for light is ¨Electromagnetic Radiation, luminous energy, and/or radiant energy.¨

Explanation:

Light is the electromagnetic radiation that´s capable of causing a visual sensation and has wavelengths from about 380 to about 780 nanometres. Electromagnetic radiation includes Radio Waves, Microwaves <u>(used in microwaves)</u>, Infrared Radiation <u>(heat)</u>, Visible Light <u>(the colors we see)</u>, Ultraviolet <u>(the UV radiation that causes sunburns)</u>, X-Rays <u>(used in medical X-Rays)</u>, and Gamma Rays <u>(which can be used to treat cancer)</u>. Light waves are transverse waves because they only travel east or west, but their crests and troughs face north and south (if desplayed on a coordinate grid). They wouldn´t be longitudinal waves because these waves don´t have vertical crests and troughs.

I hope this helps!

The first blank can be filled with the Heliocentric model, and the second blank can be filled with Copernicus.  

The heliocentric model known as heliocentrism was proposed by the Renaissance astronomer, mathematician, and the Catholic cleric Nicolaus Copernicus resulting in the Copernican revolution.  

It is the astronomical model, in which the planets and the Earth revolve around the Sun positioned at the middle of the Solar system. Factually, the heliocentric model was in contrast to geocentrism, in which Earth is positioned at the center of the Solar system.

How many total atoms are in 0.380 g of P2O5
pogonyaev
The gram formula mass of P2O5 is 31*2 + 16*5 =142. The mole number of P2O5 is 0.380/142=0.00268 mol. There is 7 atom in one P2O5 molecule. And there is 6.02 * 10^23 molecule per mol. So the answer is 1.13*10^22 atoms.

Why does naphthol react with sodium hydroxide? why does ethanol not react to the extent that naphthol does with sodium hydroxide
igomit [66]

Answer:

Conjugate base of naphthol is highly stable but conjugate base of ethanol is unstable.

Explanation:

Naphthol gives acid base reaction with NaOH where naphthol acts as an acid and NaOH as a base.

Reactivity of naphthol towards NaOH is quite high because the conjugate base of naphthol is highly stable. Stability of the conjugate base arises due to delocalization of negative charge on oxygen atom into aromatic naphthalene ring.

Ethanol is not so reactive towards NaOH because the ethoxide ion is highly unstable due to lack of delocalization of negative charge on oxygen atom.

Resonance structures of conjugate base of naphthol has been shown below.
