Electronegativity

The tendency of an atom to pull electrons towards itself is called electronegativity.

It is the tendency of an atom to attract bonding pair of electrons towards itself. These atoms which are more electronegative are able to bear a negative charge and be stable.

Unlike electropositive elements which tend to lose electrons , electronegative elements hold on tightly to the electrons.

The electronegativity is measured using the Pauling Scale where the most electronegative element of the periodic table, Fluorine , is given a value of 4 and the rest of the elements have values lower than 4 according to the trends followed by their groups and periods.

The least electronegative element of the periodic table , Cesium has a value of 0.7 on the Pauling Scale.

Electronegativity increases when we move from left to right in the periodic table and it decreases (in general) when we move down the group.

Can alpha radiation affect electronics
Tom [10]

Answer:

Radiation effects on electrical equipment depend on the equipment and on the type of ionizing radiation to which it is exposed.

 

First, beta radiation has little, if any, effect on electrical equipment because this type of ionizing radiation is easily shielded. The equipment housing and the construction of the parts within the housing will protect the equipment from beta-radiation (high-energy electrons) exposure.

 

Gamma radiation is penetrating and can affect most electrical equipment. Simple equipment (like motors, switches, incandescent lights, wiring, and solenoids) is very radiation resistant and may never show any radiation effects, even after a very large radiation exposure. Diodes and computer chips (electronics) are much more sensitive to gamma radiation. To give you a comparison of effects, it takes a radiation dose of about 5 Sv to cause death to most people. Diodes and computer chips will show very little functional detriment up to about 50 to 100 Sv. Also, some electronics can be "hardened" (made to be not affected as much by larger gamma radiation doses) by providing shielding or by selecting radiation-resistant materials.

 

Some electronics do exhibit a recovery after being exposed to gamma radiation, after the radiation is stopped. But the recovery is hardly ever back to 100% functionality. Also, if the electronics are exposed to gamma radiation while unpowered, the gamma radiation effects are less.

 

Ionizing radiation breaks down the materials within the electrical equipment. For example, when wiring is exposed to gamma rays, no change is noticed until the wiring is flexed or bent. The wire's insulation becomes brittle and will break and may cause shorts in the equipment. The effect on diodes and computer chips is a bit more complex. The gamma rays disrupt the crystalline nature of the inside of the electronic component. Its function is degraded and then fails as more gamma radiation exposure is received by the electronic component.

 

Gamma rays do not affect the signals within the device or the signals received by the device. Nonionizing radiation (like radio signals, microwaves, and electromagnetic pulses) DO mess with the signals within and received by the device. I put a cheap electronic game in my microwave oven at home. It arced and sparked and was totally ruined. I didn’t waste any more of my time playing that game.

Hope this helps.

15 POINTS PLS HELP!!!!!
scZoUnD [109]

Answer: (C) Vaporizing

Explanation:

 Vaporization is the process in which the substance change the state of of liquid into the gas state.

The vaporization process require the largest input of the energy as when the state is in the solid state then, the solid substances contain the strong forces of the attraction and they require high energy to break these strong bonds.

For changing the liquid state into the gases state we require to overcome the surface tension and require enough energy for acquiring the vaporization state.

Therefore, option (C) is correct.
