Theory- <span>a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.

Scientific law- </span>a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspect of the universe.

A scientific theory is an in depth explanation of a observed phenomena And scientific law is simply an observation of the phenomenon that the theory attempts to explain. like when newton saw an apple fall form a tree he observed a phenomena which is called the law of gravity the law states that every time you drop an apple it will fall to the ground and the theory would explan why the apple falls to the ground.

In a simplified model of a hydrogen atom, the electron moves around the proton nucleus in a circular orbit of radius 0.53 × x10−
sergiy2304 [10]

the force between the electron and the proton.
a) Use F = k * q1 * q2 / d² 
where k = 8.99e9 N·m²/C² 
and q1 = -1.602e-19 C (electron) 
and q2 = 1.602e-19 C (proton) 
and d = distance between point charges = 0.53e-10 m 
The negative result indicates "attraction". 

the radial acceleration of the electron. 
b) Here, just use F = ma 
where F was found above, and 
m = mass of electron = 9.11e-31kg, if memory serves 
a = radial acceleration 

the speed of the electron. 
c) Now use a = v² / r 
where a was found above 
and r was given 

<span> the period of the circular motion.</span>
d) period T = 2π / ω = 2πr / v 
where v was found above 
and r was given

n a laboratory experiment, John uses a mesh to separate soil particles from water. Which technique of separation is he using?
Klio2033 [76]
He is using the filtration method.
It’s a technique which is used for separation of solids and fluids by putting them through a medium which allows only fluid to pass through, leaving the solids (in this case the soil) alone.
The fluid that passed is called the filtrate.

Which can form a double covalent bond?<br> Cl <br> H<br> N<br> Ca<br> C<br> O
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

First of all, let's remember that covalent bonds are formed between nonmetal atoms. Given the list of the atoms, calcium is the only metal (it belongs to group 2A, alkaline earth metals). This means calcium doesn't form covalent bonds, it forms ionic bonds. The remaining atoms are all nonmetals and form covalent bonds.

To avoid ambiguity and several choices possible for this problem, we'll assume that we're only talking about diatomic molecules (molecules consisting only of two atoms) in this question.

In covalent bonding, atoms join together to have their valence shells filled, that is, to have octets in their shells (except hydrogen which can only have up to 2 electrons in its shell). Let's look at how many bonds each of these nonmetals will form in a diatomic molecule:

  • Chlorine is in group 7A, it has 7 valence electrons, meaning it only needs 1 electron from a covalent bond to have an octet. This implies chlorine will have a single bond.
  • Hydrogen is in group 1A, it has 1 valence electron and the maximum it can have in its valence shell is 2 electrons, so it also lacks 1 electron that will be provided by the other atom in a single bond.
  • Nitrogen is in group 5A (it has 5 valence electrons). This means it needs 3 more to gain an octet, those would come from a triple bond.
  • Carbon is in group 4A (it has 4 valence electrons). It needs 4 more electrons to gain an octet. A quadruple bond would not be possible, the greatest carbon can make is a triple bond in CO having a lone pair remaining on carbon.
  • Oxygen is in group 6A (it has 6 valence electrons). It needs 2 more electrons to gain an octet. This implies it would make a double bond to obtain two more electrons from the other atom and acquire an octet.
