Atoms of arsenic (As) are often added to silicon (Si) in a process called doping to change the conductivity of the silicon. How

does the addition of arsenic change the conductivity of silicon?
An atom of arsenic has one fewer valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom gains an electron.
An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Answer:

B.) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Explanation:

Silicon is located in the 3rd row and 14th column in the periodic table. Arsenic is located in the 4th row and 15th column in the periodic table. This means that arsenic has one more valence electron than silicon. Since arsenic is located one row down from silicon, its valence electrons occupy higher energy orbitals.

Silicon maintains a crystal-like lattice structure. Each silicon atom is covalently connected to assume this shape. When silicon gains one extra electron from arsenic, it experiences n-type doping. This new electron is not tightly bound in the lattice structure. This allows it to move more freely and conduct more electricity. This can also be explained using band gaps. Silicon, which previously had an empty conduction band, now has one electron in this band. This lowers the band gap between the conduction and valence bands and increases conductivity.

Calculate the concentration of clo2− at equilibrium if the initial concentration of hclo2 is 2. 25×10^−2 m.
jek_recluse [69]

The concentration of ClO₂⁻ at equilibrium if the initial concentration of  HClO₂ is 0.0654.

<h3>What is concentration?</h3>

The concentration of any substance is the quantity of that substance in per square of the space or container.

The reaction is

HClO₂ + H₂O <=> H₃O⁺ + ClO₂⁻

The pH is 0.454 M

Ka = [H₃O⁺][ClO₂⁻ ] / [HClO₂]

2. 25 × 10⁻² m = [x][x] / 0.454-x]

2 + 0.011 - 0.004994 = 0

solve the quadratic equation

x = 0.0654 = [H3O+] = [ClO2-]

pH = -log (H3O+)

pH = -log(0.0654)

pH = 1.2

equilibrium concentrations of

[HClO2] = 0.454 -x = 0.454 -0.0654 = 0.3886 M

[ClO2- ] = x = 0.0654

Thus, the equilibrium concentrations  is 0.0654.

For each pair, choose the compound with the smaller lattice energy, and explain your choice: (b) K₂O or K₂S.
dlinn [17]

the compound with the smaller lattice energy is potassium sulphide here the size of the molecule play a important role

The quantity of energy released by the electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions is known as lattice energy (L.E). The ion's size and charge affect the lattice energy.

lattice energy is inversely proportional to   size of ion and directly proportional to charge of the ion. They are each charged equally that is plus two and minus two However, because the Sulphur is larger in size  and the oxygen is lesser in this case, The lattice energy of potassium oxide is larger  the lattice energy of potassium sulphide  is smaller.

AIDS is one disease caused by a virus infection. The virus attacks immune system cells known as T cells.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

yes,its true

Explanation:

I just want to say first off

the immune cell known as T cell also known as white blood cells

Since the first main attack from the bodies response against a virus is deploying T cells to attack

CD4 cells are the basic T cells and HIV virus which is AIDS will start to "Eat itself inside" Ofc not they will use protein spikes to form their way in

they start to create copies of themselves inside the T cell itself and creating a new protein called Env to form their ways in ofc

They are able to bypass CD4 cells is because its a basic cellular receptor for T cells making them really deadly

They now will start to attack other white cells and deploying more and more of their virus cells
