Answer:

Sulfur is a bigger atom than oxygen and has a lower electgronegativity value. Therefore, the lone pair availability in thiol is higher than alcohol

What is the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission?

True [87]

Answer:

[Fusion: Nuclei Fuse together and release energy] [Fission: Pressure and energy is released. This release of energy, is what causes the unstable atom to split to an isotope. I hope this helps!]

[isotopes can split too. At least some.]

Explanation:

Imagine you are trying to push something heavy, fusion is how you can join together and help each other to push this heavy material.

Fun fact! Heavier materials have more inertia against other forces acting on them.

You push harder, harder and harder! Until its pushed.

This will release a lot of energy which escalates to an extended length.

It might not be the finest example, it helped me to understand the basics.

Fission. Imagine having so much energy, in this case, try thinking of so many people in a tight space. What do you do? You will eventually start to escape and leave the room. This is the act of splitting the atom.

This won't be the same than how it was before.

Again, Energy is released (energy!!).

For anyone struggling with this, although it might not be the best idea, I would recommend researching the more advaced options for this topic.

This will give you a wide range of information which can develop your current knowledge about, "Nuclear Fission and Fusion."

It will be difficult, it definitely was for me when I was a child (starting to study science).

Just keep trying, you'll get it.

26 Milkweed contains a poison known as cardenolides. Monarch butterflies eat the milkweed plant and hold on to this toxic compou

Amanda [17]

Cardenolides, with the chemical formula CH₁₈C₂₀H₁₅CHCO₂ have (D) 23 carbon atoms, 34 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms.

Milkweed contains a poison known as cardenolides. The chemical formula for cardenolides CH₁₈C₂₀H₁₅CHCO₂.

The subscripts in the formula represent the atomicities, that is the number of atoms of each element in each part of the formula.

We can calculate the total number of atoms of each element by adding its atomicities.

<h3>Carbon atoms</h3>

$C = 1 + 20 + 1 + 1 = 23$

<h3>Hydrogen atoms</h3>

$H = 18 + 15 + 1 = 34$

<h3>Oxygen atoms</h3>

$O = 2$

The hydrogen-line emission spectrum includes a line at a wavelength of 434 nm. What is the energy of this radiation? (h= 6.626 x

Andrews [41]

Wavelength = 434nm = 434 x 10⁻⁹m
planck's constant = <span>h= 6.626 x 10 ⁻³⁴ J
E =?
by using the formula;
E = hc /</span>λ
value for c is 3 x 10⁸ m/s
E = (6.626 x 10 ⁻³⁴ J)(3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 434 x 10⁻⁹m
E = 1.9878 x 10⁻²⁵ / 434 x 10⁻⁹m
E = 4.58 x 10⁻¹⁹ joules

How much faster does ethane (C2H6) gas travel compared to chlorine gas?

zimovet [89]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{54 $\, \%$ faster }}$

Explanation:

$v_{\text{rms}} \propto \sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}$

if temperature is constant.

$v_{\text{rms}} \propto \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{M}$

if we are comparing two gases,

$\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}$

Let chlorine be Gas 1 and ethane be Gas 2

Data:

M₁ = 70.91 g/mol

M₂ = 30.07 g/mol

Calculation

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} & = & \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}\\\\& = & \sqrt{\dfrac{70.91}{30.07}}\\\\& = & \sqrt{2.358}\\\\& = & \mathbf{1.54}\\\end{array}\\\text{Ethane molecules travel at 1.54 times the speed of chlorine molecules}\\\text{or $\large \boxed{\textbf{54 $\%$ faster }}$ than chlorine molecules}$
