When gases escape downward out the tail of a rocket, they push upward on the rocket. When layers of the Earth collide, they force the Earth upward, forming mountains.

Exactly the same way that you can photograph a mountain or a skyscraper
with the itty bitty camera in your smartphone.

Lenses are used to form a tiny image of a gigantic object.

How can two substances be made up of the same two elements but have very different properties?

asambeis [7]

So, basically, it might have different quantities, such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), which are both made up of Carbon and Oxygen, but Carbon Monoxide has less oxygen. And they both have different properties, like CO is poisonous.

The Eiffel tower in Paris is 300 meters tall on a cold day (T = -24 degrees Celsius), what is its height on a hot day when the t

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Length of Eiffel tower, when the temperature is 35 degrees = 300.21 m

Explanation:

Thermal expansion is given by the expression

$\Delta L=L\alpha \Delta T \\$

Here length of Eiffel tower, L = 300 m

Coefficient of thermal expansion, α = 0.000012 per degree Celsius

Change in temperature, = 35 - (-24) = 59degrees Celsius

Substituting

$\Delta L=L\alpha \Delta T= 300\times 0.000012\times 59=0.2124m \\$

Length of Eiffel tower, when the temperature is 35 degrees = 300 + 0.2124 = 300.21 m

How many electrons can possess this set of quantum numbers: principal quantum number n = 4, magnetic quantum number mℓ = −1?

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

6 electrons

Explanation:

To solve this question lets determine the possible quantum numbers for the principal quantum number n = 4.

For the quantum number l which describes the shape of the orbital, we have the possible values : 0 to n-1.

Thus, for n = 4 the l can assume the values 0, 1, 2, 3 ( 4 possible shapes )

For the angular quantum number, ml, which tell us the orientation in space,we have the values - l to + l.

So lets determine the number of orbials which can have the values -l for n=4

l = 0 ml = 0

l= 1 ml = -1,0,1

l= 2 ml = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

l= 3 ml = -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3

So we have three orbital with ml = - 1 and from Pauli´s exclusion principle we can have up two electrons in each orbital. Thus for n= 4 we can have up to 6 electrons with ml = -1
