Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Porosity means the ease with which a fluid can pass through between a rock or cracks etc.

If particles of a soil are flat and even if they are sorted then there will rarely be any space available for fluid or water to pass through it.

If soil particles are round in shape and are sorted then there will be space available for the fluid to pass through it. Hence, this type of soil will be most porous.

Similarly, if soil particles are round but are unsorted then there will be less space available as compared to sorted particles. This is because particles are placed randomly so, somewhere there will be much less space and somewhere there will be large space available. As a result, soil will not be most porous.

If soil particles are flat and unsorted then there will also be less space available for the fluid to pass through it. Thus, soil will be less porous.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options, soil B - round, sorted particles is the most porous.

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

B - End to end overlap of p overlap

Explanation:

Sigma bonds (σ bonds) are the strongest type of covalent chemical bondSigma bonds are formed by end-to-end overlapping. Sigma bonds can occur between any kind of atomic orbitals;The combination of overlapping orbitals can be s-s, s-pz or pz-pz.

How many electrons in an atom can share the quantum numbers n = 2, l = 1?<br> 1<br> 3<br> 6<br> 10
Igoryamba
Principal quantum number is n = 2, principal quantum number gives the energy shells electrons reside in,
angular momentum quantum number , these are the number of subshells and gives how many subshells are there in energy shells, values for l range from 0 to n-1
magnetic quantum number -m- gives the specific orbital in the subshells and their orientation.
spin quantum number gives the spin of the electrons.

in this case, n = 2
the types of subshells in n=2 are 0 and 1
0 - s subshell 
1 - p subshell
the  specific number of orbitals are given by -l to +l
when l = 1
then -1, 0 and +1
therefore there are 3 orbitals in p subshell and orbitals are in 3 orientations
each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, 
since there are 3 orbitals each holding 6, there are 6 electrons to which these quantum numbers are the same
answer is 6

The coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump is 1.6. Calculate the heating effect in kJ/s this heat pump will produ
Helen [10]

Answer:

The heating effect of the residential heat pump will be 7.2 KJ/Sec

Explanation:

The rate of heat produced (Q_{H})

Here, Coefficient of performance = 1.6

Here, Consume of electrical power =4.5

The rate of heat produced ( Q_{H})  = Coefficient of performance × Consume of electrical power

   ∴ Q_{H} = 1.6 × 4.5

         = 7.2 KJ/SEC

∴ The heating effect of the residential heat pump will be 7.2 KJ/Sec
