Answer:

It is due to their structure

Explanation:

Some molecules have the exact same molecular formula but when you look at them you can see that they are shaped differently,

An example being coal and diamond, both are made of pure carbon but the reason why diamond is so much stronger than coal is because of its lattice structure.

So, basically, it might have different quantities, such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), which are both made up of Carbon and Oxygen, but Carbon Monoxide has less oxygen. And they both have different properties, like CO is poisonous.

Answer:

Magnetic compass

Explanation:

A magnetic field is a field that describes the magnetic effect of electric charges in a relative motion.

Magnetic field allows magnets to interact without contact. The principle involved in the function of the compass is that a magnetic field exerts a force on any moving charge and can be measured and detected by this effect.

Suppose you illuminate two thin slits by monochromatic coherent light in air and find that they produce their first interference

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

1.7323

Explanation:

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to refractive indices and Snell's law.

From the data given we have to:

$n_{air}=1$

$\theta_{liquid} = 19.38\°$

$\theta_{air}35.09\°$

Where n means the index of refraction.

We need to calculate the index of refraction of the liquid, then applying Snell's law we have:

$n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2$

$n_{air}sin\theta_{air} = n_{liquid}sin\theta_{liquid}$

$n_{liquid} = \frac{n_{air}sin\theta_{air}}{sin\theta_{liquid}}$

Replacing the values we have:

$n_{liquid}=\frac{(1)sin(35.09)}{sin(19.38)}$

$n_liquid = 1.7323$

Therefore the refractive index for the liquid is 1.7323

the magnitude of the magnetic field at point p for a certain electromagnetic wave is 2.21. What is the magnitude of the elctic f

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$6.63\times 10^8\ N/C$

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of magnetic field, B = 2.21

We need to find the magnitude of the electric field. Let it is E. So,

$\dfrac{E}{B}=c\\\\E=Bc$

Put all the values,

$E=2.21\times 3\times 10^8\\\\=6.63\times 10^8\ N/C$

So, the magnitude of the electric field is equal to $6.63\times 10^8\ N/C$ .

Theorem: there is no smallest positive rational number.theorem: there is no smallest positive rational number. a proof by contra

matrenka [14]

Assume there is a smallest rational integer that has the following form: a/b

Then observe that we can define a/(b+1), which is strictly less than a/b because its divisor is bigger and is rational because it is the product of two numbers. Due to the contradiction created by our original claims that a/b is the smallest rational number that is possible, we might conclude that there is no such thing as the smallest rational number.

There can therefore be no smallest rational number because we may always define a smaller rational number than the one we now possess.

<h3>What is Rational number ?</h3>

Any number that can be expressed as a ratio is considered reasonable. It is therefore possible to represent it as a fraction when the numerator and denominator are both full numbers.
