<u>Answer:</u> The uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is 4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

The diameter of the molecule will be equal to the uncertainty in position.

The equation representing Heisenberg's uncertainty principle follows:

\Delta x.\Delta p=\frac{h}{2\pi}

where,

\Delta x = uncertainty in position = d = 4.50\times 10^{-5}m

\Delta p = uncertainty in momentum  = m\Delta v

m = mass of oxygen molecule = 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg

h = Planck's constant = 6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2

Putting values in above equation, we get:

4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg\times \Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s}{2\times 3.14}\\\\\Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2}{2\times 3.14\times 4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg}=4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s

Hence, the uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is 4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s

Mechanical twinning occurs in metals having which type(s) of crystal structure(s)?
kari74 [83]
Mechanical twinning occurs in metals having body center cubic and hexagonal closed packed structures. Twinning is said to occur when a portion of a crystal takes up an orientation that is related to the orientation of the untwinned lattice in a definite symmetrical manner.

The isotope of carbon used in archaeological dating is 14^6C . How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does an atom of 14^6C h
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

6

8

6

Explanation:

 Isotope given:

                       ¹⁴₆C

In specie written as this;  

   Superscript  = Mass number

   Subscript  = Atomic number

To find the protons, it is the same as the atomic number;

                Protons  = Atomic number  = 6

Neutrons have no charges;

 Neutrons  = Mass number - Atomic number  =

  Neutrons  = 14 - 6  = 8

The number of electrons is the same as the atomic number = 6

The radioactivity of U-235 is of low intensity. Why then were the people of Hiroshima exposed to high intensity radiation in the
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

What occurred then is as a result of nuclear fission. This occurs as the Uranium-235 split into two smaller nuclei while releasing high energy neutrons. These neutrons bombard existing U-235 in the atmosphere and this reaction continue in a spontaneous manner until a chain reaction is formed of U-235, whose fall out fills the environment. This process was what led to people been exposed to high intensity radiation in the days and months after the atomic bomb was dropped.
