Why are the properties of a compound different than the elements that make it up.

Chemistry

nexus9112 [7]1 year ago
3 0

The properties of compounds are different, and in some cases very different, from those of the elements that compose them. This is because elements combine in compounds to become completely different substances with unique properties.

Compounds contain atoms of different elements chemically bonded in fixed ratios. An element is a pure chemical substance made up of atoms of the same kind. Compounds contain different elements in fixed ratios, arranged in a defined way by chemical bonds.

This is caused by different base properties where each element has a different number. Due to the number of electrons and differences in shell and valence electrons, different elements bond differently to certain other elements.

Compounds:

is composed of atoms of two or more different elements bonded together, and

can be broken down into simpler types of matter (elements) by chemical (rather than physical) means. from its components, and.

always contains the same proportions of atomic components.

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.

how many mL of a 3.5 M sodium hydroxide will be needed to neutralize 15mL of a 4.3 M hydrochloric acid solution?
kobusy [5.1K]
Step 1 : write a valanced equation..
NaOH + HCl 》NaCl + H2O

Step 2 : find the number of mole of HCl..
1000 ml ..contains 4.3 mole
15ml... (4.3÷1000)×15 =...

Stem 3 : use mole ratio....
HCl : NaOH
1 : 1
So mole is same as calculated above...

Step 4 :
3.5 mole of NaOH is in 1000ml
(4.3÷1000)×15 mole is in ....

What is the difference between Hydrolysis and Hydration?​
Grace [21]
Hydrolysis involves the reaction of water with another compound.Hydrolysis is the process in which the bond breaks due to addition of water whereas in hydration there is just addition of water, the molecule doesn’t break down.

Tom [10]

Molar mass of vitamin B1, C12H17N4OS = 265.34 g/ mol

Molar mass of vitamin B2, C17H20N4O6 = 376.37 g/ mol

Molar mass of vitamin B5, C9H17NO5 = 219.24 g/ mol

Molar mass of vitamin B6, C8H11NO3 = 169.18 g/ mol

Molar mass of vitamin B7, C10H16N2O3S = 244.31 g/ mol

Now,

Order of increasing molar mass = B6 < B5 < B7 < B1 < B2
