Answer:The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Mechanical wave is a wave that produce from the oscillation of matter and transfer energy through the medium.They are incapable of moving through vacuum.

Electromagnetic wave is a wave composed of two vectors vibrating perpendicular to each other in the same direction in which wave is moving.The two vectors are electric field and magnetic field.They are capable of travelling through vacuum.

Light wave is an electromagnetic wave.Electromagnetic waves can easily travel through space. Where as sound is a mechanical wave which requires medium to travel.

Hence, correct answer is option C.

C) Sound is a mechanical wave and needs a medium to travel through while light is an electromagnetic wave.

There is no air for the sound waves to travel, therefore, no sound waves being transmitted.

Gold has an atomic weight of 196.97 g/mol, and a density of 19.3 g/cm3. Approximately how many atoms are in a spherical gold nan

ale4655 [162]

Answer: The number of atoms in spherical gold nano particle are $26.918\times 10^4$

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of sphere, we use the equation:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

where,

r = radius of the sphere = $10nm=10^{-6}cm$ (Conversion factor: $1nm=10^{-7}cm$ )

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (10^{-6})^3\\\\V=4.19\times 10^{-18}cm^3$

To calculate mass of of the substance, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Volume of gold = $4.19\times 10^{-18}cm^3$

Density of gold = $19.3g/cm^3$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$19.3g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of gold}}{4.19\times 10^{-18}}\\\\\text{Mass of gold}=8.0867\times 10^{-17}g$

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Mass of gold = $8.8067\times 10^{-17}g$

Molar mass of gold = 196.97 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of gold}=\frac{8.8067\times 10^{-17}g}{196.97g/mol}=4.47\times 10^{-9}moles$

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an element contains $6.022\time 10^{23}$ number of atom

So, $4.47\times 10^{-19}$ moles of gold will contain = $4.47\times 10^{-19}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=26.918\times 10^4$ number of atoms.

Hence, the number of atoms in spherical gold nano particle are $26.918\times 10^4$

¿Cuál(es) de las siguientes propiedades aumentan a más Z en un grupo?

liq [111]

Answer:

The correct answer is c) Electronegativity

Explanation:

The Z corresponds to the atomic number (defines the number of protons in the nucleus and also the electrons present in the atom). The Z increases from left to right in the same period, this is due to less shielding of the electrons in the last layer. Electronegativity (defined as the ability of the atoms to attract, in a covalent chemical bond, the electrons that it shares with other atoms), increases, the greater the Z (there is less distance).
