Yes, in general, metalloids are slightly reactive.
Unusual precipitation patterns
Answer:
a) 
For this case we know the following values:




So then if we replace we got:

b) 
With 
And replacing we have:

And then the scattered wavelength is given by:

And the energy of the scattered photon is given by:

c) 
Explanation
Part a
For this case we can use the Compton shift equation given by:
For this case we know the following values:
So then if we replace we got:
Part b
For this cas we can calculate the wavelength of the phton with this formula:
With
And replacing we have:
And then the scattered wavelength is given by:
And the energy of the scattered photon is given by:
Part c
For this case we know that all the neergy lost by the photon neds to go into the recoiling electron so then we have this:
Answer:

Explanation:
The force on the point charge q exerted by the rod can be found by Coulomb's Law.

Unfortunately, Coulomb's Law is valid for points charges only, and the rod is not a point charge.
In this case, we have to choose an infinitesimal portion on the rod, which is basically a point, and calculate the force exerted by this point, then integrate this small force (dF) over the entire rod.
We will choose an infinitesimal portion from a distance 'x' from the origin, and the length of this portion will be denoted as 'dx'. The charge of this small portion will be 'dq'.
Applying Coulomb's Law:

The direction of the force on 'q' is to the right, since both charges are positive, and they repel each other.
Now, we have to write 'dq' in term of the known quantities.

Now, substitute this into 'dF':

Now we can integrate dF over the rod.
