<span>2.59 g/cm^3 For a face centered cubic crystal, there is 1 atom at each corner that's shared between 8 unit cells. And since there's 8 corners, that gives 8*1/8 = 1 atom per unit cell. Additionally, there are 6 faces, each with 1 atom, that's shared between 2 cells. So 6*1/2 = 3. So each unit cell has a mass of 1 + 3 = 4 atoms. The size of the unit cell will be equal to either the diameter of one atom along the edge, or the diameter of 2 atoms as the diagonal across one face of the cube, whichever results in the larger unit cell. Taking that into consideration, I will use the value of 2 for the diagonal of a face of the unit cell, resulting in the length of an edge of the unit cell being sqrt(2^2/2) = sqrt(2) = 1.414213562 times the atomic diameter. So 1.414213562 * 2 * 0.215 nm = 0.608 nm So the volume of a single unit cell is (0.608 nm)^3 Avogadro's number of atoms will require 6.0221409x10^23 / 4 = 1.50554x10^23 unit cells and will have a mass of 87.62 grams. The volume will be 1.50554x10^23 * (0.608x10^-7 cm)^3 = 1.50554x10^23 * 0.224755712x10^-22 cm^3 = 33.83776414 cm^3 So the density is approximately 87.62 g/33.83776414 cm^3 = 2.589414585 g/cm^3, when rounded to 3 significant figures is 2.59 g/cm^3.</span>

2. Which of the following elements does not lose an electron easily? (a) Na (6) F (c) Mg (d) Al​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Answer: (b) F

Explanation:

Sodium has 1, magnesium has 2 and Aluminium has 3 electrons in its outermost shell whereas Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outermost shell hence Fluorine does not lose electrons easily.

The electronic configuration of fluorine is 2,7.

Fluorine is the ninth element with a total of 9 electrons.

The first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital.

The next 2 electrons for F go in the 2s orbital.

The remaining five electrons will go in the 2p orbital. Therefore the F electron configuration will be 1s22s22p5.

How is solar power used to generate electricity?
musickatia [10]
This is the shortest answer, you can google: net meter, inverter, solar panels and the roof system for a shorter one.

The roof system

In most solar systems, solar panels are placed on the roof. An ideal site will have no shade on the panels, especially during the prime sunlight hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; a south-facing installation will usually provide the optimum potential for your system, but other orientations may provide sufficient production. Trees or other factors that cause shading during the day will cause significant decreases to power production. The importance of shading and efficiency cannot be overstated. In a solar panel, if even just one of its 36 cells is shaded, power production will be reduced by more than half. Experienced installation contractors such as NW Wind & Solar use a device called a Solar Pathfinder to carefully identify potential areas of shading prior to installation.

Not every roof has the correct orientation or angle of inclination to take advantage of the sun's energy. Some systems are designed with pivoting panels that track the sun in its journey across the sky. Non-tracking PV systems should be inclined at an angle equal to the site’s latitude to absorb the maximum amount of energy year-round. Alternate orientations and/or inclinations may be used to optimize energy production for particular times of day or for specific seasons of the year.

Solar panels

Solar panels, also known as modules, contain photovoltaic cells made from silicon that transform incoming sunlight into electricity rather than heat. (”Photovoltaic” means electricity from light — photo = light, voltaic = electricity.)

Solar photovoltaic cells consist of a positive and a negative film of silicon placed under a thin slice of glass. As the photons of the sunlight beat down upon these cells, they knock the electrons off the silicon. The negatively-charged free electrons are preferentially attracted to one side of the silicon cell, which creates an electric voltage that can be collected and channeled. This current is gathered by wiring the individual solar panels together in series to form a solar photovoltaic array. Depending on the size of the installation, multiple strings of solar photovoltaic array cables terminate in one electrical box, called a fused array combiner. Contained within the combiner box are fuses designed to protect the individual module cables, as well as the connections that deliver power to the inverter. The electricity produced at this stage is DC (direct current) and must be converted to AC (alternating current) suitable for use in your home or business.

Inverter

The inverter is typically located in an accessible location, as close as practical to the modules. In a residential application, the inverter is often mounted to the exterior sidewall of the home near the electrical main or sub panels. Since inverters make a slight noise, this should be taken into consideration when selecting the location.

The inverter turns the DC electricity generated by the solar panels into 120-volt AC that can be put to immediate use by connecting the inverter directly to a dedicated circuit breaker in the electrical panel.

The inverter, electricity production meter, and electricity net meter are connected so that power produced by your solar electric system will first be consumed by the electrical loads currently in operation. The balance of power produced by your solar electric system passes through your electrical panel and out onto the electric grid. Whenever you are producing more electricity from your solar electric system than you are immediately consuming, your electric utility meter will turn backwards!

Net meter

In a solar electric system that is also tied to the utility grid, the DC power from the solar array is converted into 120/240 volt AC power and fed directly into the utility power distribution system of the building. The power is “net metered,” which means it reduces demand for power from the utility when the solar array is generating electricity – thus lowering the utility bill. These grid-tied systems automatically shut off if utility power goes offline, protecting workers from power being back fed into the grid during an outage. These types of solar-powered electric systems are known as “on grid” or “battery-less” and make up approximately 98% of the solar power systems being installed today.

What is frequency? How can sound wave having different frequencies have the same speed​
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The relationship of the speed of sound, its frequency, and wavelength is the same as for all waves: vw = fλ, where vw is the speed of sound, f is its frequency, and λ is its wavelength. ... The more rigid (or less compressible) the medium, the faster the speed of sound
