The valence electrons are the parts of an atom that make interactions and make chemical bonds.
Every atom is made of three different components, a positively charged proton, neutrally charged neutron and negatively charged electron. The protons and the neutrons make up the atom's core and the electrons orbit around that core.
The electrons that orbit around the atom's core in its outer-most orbit (the one that is the furthest from the atom's core) can interact with electrons of other atoms, forming different kinds of chemical bonds.
If there is an exchange of the electrons (one atom donates its electrons to another atom), that results in forming of ions, then those two atoms can be linked in an ionic bond.
If an electron is shared between two atoms, then that bond is called a covalent bond.
Explanation:
(a) The given data is as follows.
Load applied (P) = 1000 kg
Indentation produced (d) = 2.50 mm
BHI diameter (D) = 10 mm
Expression for Brinell Hardness is as follows.
HB =
Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
HB =
=
=
= 200
Therefore, the Brinell HArdness is 200.
(b) The given data is as follows.
Brinell Hardness = 300
Load (P) = 500 kg
BHI diameter (D) = 10 mm
Indentation produced (d) = ?
d = ![\sqrt{(D^{2} - [D - \frac{2P}{HB} \pi D]^{2})}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7B%28D%5E%7B2%7D%20-%20%5BD%20-%20%5Cfrac%7B2P%7D%7BHB%7D%20%5Cpi%20D%5D%5E%7B2%7D%29%7D)
= ![\sqrt{(10 mm)^{2} - [10 mm - \frac{2 \times 500 kg}{300 \times 3.14 \times 10 mm}]^{2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7B%2810%20mm%29%5E%7B2%7D%20-%20%5B10%20mm%20-%20%5Cfrac%7B2%20%5Ctimes%20500%20kg%7D%7B300%20%5Ctimes%203.14%20%5Ctimes%2010%20mm%7D%5D%5E%7B2%7D%7D)
= 4.46 mm
Hence, the diameter of an indentation to yield a hardness of 300 HB when a 500-kg load is used is 4.46 mm.
A sorry if it’s wrong good luck
