<u>Answer:</u>

Metals possess low ionisation energy hence it loses electrons easily. The nucleus and the inner shell electrons is called the kernel.

The electron which gets lost leaves the influence of one kernel and moves towards the other.

Thus the electrons will be in constant movement and gets delocalized.

The electrostatic forces between the positive kernel and the sea of mobile electrons is called as metallic bond.

Metal atoms possess this type of attractive forces in between them.

For example the metal atoms of a sheet of copper possess this type of chemical bond between the atoms.

Thus, Metallic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that rises from the electrostatic attractive force between conduction electrons and positively charged metal ions

In metallic bonds, the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalize. That is to say, instead of orbiting their respective metal atoms, they form a “sea” of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions

A small sphere has a harge of 9uC and other small sphere has a charge of 4uC.

Helga [31]

Answer:

Electrical force, F = 90 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on sphere 1, $q_1=9\ \mu C=9\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Charge on sphere 2, $q_1=4\ \mu C=4\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Distance between two spheres, d = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Let F is the electrical force between them. It is given by the formula of electric force which is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them such that,

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

$F=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{9\times 10^{-6}\times 4\times 10^{-6}}{(0.06)^2}$

F = 90 N

So, the electrical force between them is 90 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Earth is about 150 million kilometers from the Sun, and the apparent brightness of the Sun in our sky is about 1300 watts/m2. Us

nalin [4]

Answer:

$13 W/m^2$

Explanation:

The apparent brightness follows an inverse square law, therefore we can write:

$I \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$

where I is the apparent brightness and r is the distance from the Sun.

We can also rewrite the law as

$\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}$ (1)

where in this problem, we have:

$I_1 = 1300 W/m^2$ apparent brightness at a distance $r_1$ , where

$r_1 = 150$ million km

We want to estimate the apparent brightness at $r_2$ , where $r_2$ is ten times $r_1$ , so

$r_2 = 10 r_1$

Re-arranging eq.(1), we find $I_2$ :

$I_2 = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}I_1 = \frac{r_1^2}{(10r_1)^2}(1300)=\frac{1}{100}(1300)=13 W/m^2$

What might happen if water molecules did not have a slight negative charge on one end and a slight positive charge on the other?

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

It would not be possible the cohesion among water molecules by the polar covalent bonding.

Well, to understand this in a better way, let's begin by explaining that water is special due to its properties, which makes this fluid useful for many purposes and for the existence of life.

In this sense, one of the main properties of water is cohesion (molecular cohesion), which is the attraction of molecules to others of the same type. So, water molecule ( $H_{2}O$ ) has 2 hydrogen atoms attached to 1 oxygen atom and can stick to itself through hydrogen bonds.

How is this possible?

By the polar covalent bonding, a process in which electrons are shared unequally between atoms, due to the unequal distribution of electrons between atoms of different elements. In other words: slightly positive and slightly negative charges appear in different parts of the molecule.

Now, it can be said that a water molecule has a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen). This is how the oxygen atom tends to monopolize more electrons and keeps them away from hydrogen. Thanks to this polarity, water molecules can stick together.

Heat is transferred from molecules with more kinetic energy to molecules with _________kinetic energy.

Karolina [17]

Answer:

low

Explanation:

the higher the kinetic energy, the More the vibration of molecules, thus heat is more on the side with highly vibrating molecules
