IE is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. As atomic radius increases, the valence electrons get farther from

the nucleus. How do you think an atom’s size will affect its ability to hold on to its valence electrons? Why?

Bond [772]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The bigger the atom the lesser the ability of the atom to hold on to its valence electrons.

Explanation:

Atomic radius can be looked at as the distance between the nucleus and the outermost energy level. As an atom gets bigger, the outer shell gets further and further from the positive nucleus. this means that electrons that are in the outer energy level become less held (attracted) by the nucleus because of distance and shielding of the attractive forces by the electrons in the lower energy levels. This means that as an atom becomes bigger, its ability to hold on to its outer electrons lessens.

If the momentum of a system is to be conserved, which must be true of the net external force acting on the system?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

D. zero

Explanation:

For momentum of an isolated or closed system to be conserved (initial momentum must equal final momentum), the net external force acting on the system must be zero.

There is always external forces acting on a system, for this system’s momentum to remain constant, all the external forces acting on the system must cancel out, so that the net external force on the system is zero.

F_{ext} = 0

Therefore, the correct option is "D"

D. zero

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

the Hudson Bay was covered with alpine glaciers

Explanation:

During the last glacial period, large portions of North America were covered with ice. The majority of the ice was from the ice sheets that were covering Canada and the northern part of the United States, and the alpine glaciers on the mountain ranges. Hudson Bay was all frozen at this point of time. It was not covered with alpine glaciers though, instead it was covered with the ice of the extended ice sheets, with the ice cover reaching up to 2 km in thickness.

Compare and contrast electric conductors and electric insulators. Give an example of each.
ludmilkaskok [199]
An example of conductors of heat would be iron pans. a example of electric insulators would be copper, gold and silver. to contrast conductors and insulators, insulators let electricity pass through them while conductors restricts electricity. both conductors and insulators can work with lithium and sodium.

The ball of a ballpoint pen is 0.5 mm in diameter and has an ASTM grain size of 12. How many grains are there in the ball
Fudgin [204]

Given :

The ball of a ballpoint pen is 0.5 mm in diameter and has an ASTM grain size of 12.

To Find :

How many grains are there in the ball?

Solution :

Volume of ball of the ballpoint is :

V = \dfrac{4 \pi r^3}{3}\\\\V = \dfrac{4\times 3.14 \times 0.5^3}{3}\ mm^3\\\\V = 0.523\  mm^3

Now, grain size of 12 has about 520000 grains/mm³.

Therefore, number of grains are :

n = 520000\times 0.523\ grains\\\\n = 271960\ grains
