Imagine that you have a metal bar sitting half in the sun and half in the dark. On a sunny day, the part of the metal that has b
een sitting in the sun feels hot. If you touch the part of the metal bar that has been sitting in the dark, will it feel hot or cold? Justify your answer in terms of thermal conductivity.
The part of the metal that has been sitting in the sun will heat up, and because metal is a good conductor,<em> the part sitting in the sun will heat up the part sitting in the dark</em>.
We say metal is a good conductor because it has<em> high thermal conductivity</em>, which mean heat will flow from the hot section of the bar to the cold section of the bat.
Atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom the outermost energy shell or energy level.
The atomic radii of metals are greater than the ionic radii since metals form ions by losing electrons.
Calcium atom has a larger atomic radius compared to magnesium atom because it has more energy levels. Calcium atoms have four energy levels while magnesium atoms have three energy levels.
Hydrogen Peroxide is known as a dental “debriding agent”. But when used on skin for minor wounds it will foam and turn surrounding tissue white. ... H2O2 decomposes easily to make water (H2O) and a single free oxygen atom which is looking for something to react with - like your skin.
