Surface tension under water results from greater attraction of liquid molecules to each other, due to a process called cohesion, than to molecules in the air, due to a process called adhesion.
Argon monatomic in nature because it is a noble gas and has completely filled shells and thus does not form a bond with other elements.
Answer:
electron-electron repulsion
Explanation:
When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.
In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.
To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.
Answer:
Heat transfer in step 2 = 47.75 J
Explanation:
Internal energy = heat + work done
U = Q + W
In a cyclic process the total internal energy change of the system = 0.
In the process there are two steps. The total heat exchange in the process is the sum of heat exchanges in the two processes.
We have to find the heat exchange in step 2.
In step 1,
W = 1.25 J Q = -37 J
= -37 + 1.25 = -35.75 J
In step 2, the internal energy change will be negative of that in step 1.
U = 35.75 J
W = -12 J
U = Q + W
35.75 = Q -12
Q = 47.75 J
Heat transfer in step 2 = 47.75 J
The answer is D, because "Animals without a backbone are invertebrates."
