How does electrical conduction compare between metals, nonmetals, and metalloids

Physics
1 answer:
zhuklara [117]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

metal> metalloids >nonmetals    (Electrical conductivity)

Explanation:

Electrical conductivity of objects can be compared by the bonding energy of electrons in them.

Metals have less bonding energy of electrons, so even at room temperature their are significant number of free electrons to carry electrical current.

Nonmetals have a very high bonding energy of electrons, so  at room temperature negligible number of free electrons are present so electrical conductivity is very low.

Metalloids have both metallic and non metallic features. The electron bonding energy falls in between that of metals and nonmetals. So electrical conductivity also lies in between metals and nonmetals.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

(newtons first law)

conservation of momentum law states :

momentum before collision = momentum after collision

momentum p (kg-m/s)= mass * velocity

say moving car=1 000 kg, velocity = 10 m/s then p = 1 000*10= 10 000 kg-m/s

say still car = 2 000 kg, velocity = 0 m/s then p = 2 000* 0 = 0 kg-m/s

total momentum prior to collision = 10 000 + 0 = 10 000 kg-m/s

momentum after collision = 10 000 kg-m/s

mass now = 1 000 kg+2 000 kg = 3 000 kg

10 000 = 3 000 kg* velocity m/s

10 000/3 000 = velocity

3.33 m/s = velocity after collision

an impulse is a force applied over time , momentum is exclusive of external forces and a perfect collision is implied

solmaris [256]

Answer:

2.33651226158 m

Explanation:

From the question the required data is as follows

f = Frequency of the initial note = 146.8 Hz

v = Velocity of sound in air = 343 m/s

The wavelength of a wave is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{343}{146.8}

\Rightarrow \lambda=2.33651226158\ m

The wavelength of the initial note is 2.33651226158 m

You place an ice cube of mass 7.50×10−3kg and temperature 0.00∘C on top of a copper cube of mass 0.220 kg. All of the ice melts,
g100num [7]

Answer:

T = 29.66 ^o C

Explanation:

As we know that here final equilibrium temperature is 0 degree C

so we can use energy conservation here

heat given by the cube = heat absorbed by the ice

so we have

ms \Delta T = m' L

so here we have

0.220(385)(T - 0) = (7.50 \times 10^{-3})(3.35 \times 10^5)

T = \frac{2512.5}{0.220 \times 385}

T = 29.66 ^o C
