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.

What is the overall charge of the compound frbr
sammy [17]

Answer:

Zero  

Explanation:

FrBr is an ionic compound .

Fr is in Group 1. Br is in Group 17.

The charges on the ions are +1 and -1, respectively.

The compound consists of Fr⁺Br⁻ ions.

However, there are equal numbers of + and - charges, so

The overall charge of the compound is zero.

A strontium hydroxide solution is prepared by dissolving 10.60 gg of Sr(OH)2Sr(OH)2 in water to make 47.00 mLmL of solution.What
NeTakaya

Answer:

Approximately 1.854\; \rm mol\cdot L^{-1}.

Explanation:

Note that both figures in the question come with four significant figures. Therefore, the answer should also be rounded to four significant figures. Intermediate results should have more significant figures than that.

<h3>Formula mass of strontium hydroxide</h3>

Look up the relative atomic mass of \rm Sr, \rm O, and \rm H on a modern periodic table. Keep at least four significant figures in each of these atomic mass data.

  • \rm Sr: 87.62.
  • \rm O: 15.999.
  • \rm H: 1.008.

Calculate the formula mass of \rm Sr(OH)_2:

M\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) = 87.62 + 2\times (15.999 + 1.008) = 121.634\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}.

<h3>Number of moles of strontium hydroxide in the solution</h3>

M\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) =121.634\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1} means that each mole of \rm Sr(OH)_2 formula units have a mass of 121.634\; \rm g.

The question states that there are 10.60\; \rm g of \rm Sr(OH)_2 in this solution.

How many moles of \rm Sr(OH)_2 formula units would that be?

\begin{aligned}n\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) &= \frac{m\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right)}{M\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right)}\\ &= \frac{10.60\; \rm g}{121.634\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 8.71467\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

<h3>Molarity of this strontium hydroxide solution</h3>

There are 8.71467\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol of \rm Sr(OH)_2 formula units in this 47\; \rm mL solution. Convert the unit of volume to liter:

V = 47\; \rm mL = 0.047\; \rm L.

The molarity of a solution measures its molar concentration. For this solution:

\begin{aligned}c\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) &= \frac{n\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right)}{V}\\ &= \frac{8.71467\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol}{0.047\; \rm L} \approx 1.854\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}.

(Rounded to four significant figures.)

Which of the following processes are physical changes? Mark all
stich3 [128]

The process that is physical changes is:

  • mixing frozen orange juice concentrate with water

<h3>What is a physical change?</h3>

A physical change can be described as a type of  change  that take place in physical without chemical reaction as opposed to chemical change.

They are changes that are  usually reversible it should be noted that physical change do not  involve the alterations  as regards the  chemical make up of a particular  substance  and as a result of this , in physical change, there is   no formation of new product.

Therefore, The process that is physical changes is mixing frozen orange juice concentrate with water
