Explain why the term Nano is used to describe nanotechnology​

Physics
1 answer:
Volgvan3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Nanotechnology means working with materials at the scale of one billionth of a metre.

Explanation:

The prefix “nano” refers to one billionth: it’s part of the scientific scale of measurement. Its science, engineering, and technology are conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things. Thus, this describes why the term nano is used to describe nanotechnology.

I hope this helps :)

Which of the following is an example of a renewable natural resource?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

c. lumber      

Explanation:

Lumber is considered a renewable natural resource because it is gotten from trees and trees are grow-able. A renewable natural resource is a resource which can be used repeatedly and replaced naturally. Examples of renewable natural resources are solar energy from the sun, water, oxygen, biomass, trees etc. Trees can be harvested and processed into lumber. The harvested trees can be planted again by humans or they can naturally reproduce through seedlings or fruits that drop and germinate on their own. This renewable germinating process of trees makes lumber a renewable natural resource.

Sound waves can be used in a similar way to "see" things. After turning on a sound source, we can look at the pattern of reflected sound waves that bounce back to us. Our own ears and brain don't process sound into mental pictures.

How do quantum numbers relate to electrons?<br> please explain?
alukav5142 [94]
Quantum numbers<span> allow us to both simplify and dig deeper into electron configurations. Electron configurations allow us to identify energy level, subshell, and the number of electrons in those locations. If you choose to go a bit further, you can also add in x,y, or z subscripts to describe the exact orbital of those subshells (for example </span><span>2<span>px</span></span>). Simply put, electron configurations are more focused on location of electrons then anything else. 
<span>
Quantum numbers allow us to dig deeper into the electron configurations by allowing us to focus on electrons' quantum nature. This includes such properties as principle energy (size) (n), magnitude of angular momentum (shape) (l), orientation in space (m), and the spinning nature of the electron. In terms of connecting quantum numbers back to electron configurations, n is related to the energy level, l is related to the subshell, m is related to the orbital, and s is due to Pauli Exclusion Principle.</span>
