Explain why compressional waves are unable to move through vacuum

Chemistry

fgiga [73]4 years ago

A compression wave is transmitted by motion or particles. Sound is a compression wave that travels through gases, liquids and solids by moving atoms/molecules/particles which in turn bump into neighbouring atoms/molecules/particles.

In a vacuum there are no atoms, molecules or particles present to transmit the wave.

What is/are the only reason(s) that a reaction may have a percent yield above 100%?
natta225 [31]
Usually, percent yield is lower than 100% because the actual yield is often less than the theoretical value. Reasons for this can include incomplete or competing reactions and loss of sample during recovery. Percent yield is always a positive value. I hope this can help you
