Why can gases and liquids both transmit heat by convection?

Physics
1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
5 0
Basically, the temperature is a result of the average kinetic energy of all the atoms comprising the solid/liquid/gas. In solid, these atoms can just vibrate in place, leaving them to only be able to conduct and radiate heat. However, as you probably know liquids and solids take the shape of their container because the bonds between atoms are loose enough to allow them to freely move around. Due to each individual atom having its own energy, and these atoms being free to move about the liquid/gas they collide with other atoms in the substance. These collisions result in a transfer of energy. Finally, lower energy atoms "sink" and higher energy atoms "rise" thus creating a "convection current".

The advantage is that we do not run out of resources and a disadvantage is that is dangerous when a “human” gets too close and gets sick by the radiation.

Which is an IUPAC name for a covalent compound
Elena L [17]
In naming covalent compound (binary) based in IUPAC naming, we have 4 rules to be followed:

1. The first element of the formula will use the normal name of the given element. for example: CO2 ( Carbon Dioxide), Carbon is the element name of the first element of the formula.

2. The second element is named as if they are treated like an anion but put in mind that these are no ions in a covalent compound but we put -ide on the second element as if it is an anion.

3. Prefixes are used to indicate the number of atom of the elements in the compound. for example: mono- 1 atom, di- 2atoms, tri- 3 atoms and etc

4. Prefix "mono"is never used in naming the first element. For example: Carbon dioxide, there should be no monocarbon dioxide.
