The role of a spark plug is to supply some of the energy of activation for the combustion reaction.

Explanation:

A Spark plug is a tiny bolt of lightning in which a spark of electricity is emitted across a gap creating the ignition of the combustion chamber thereby starting the engine. By putting an engine piston in motion we can power up which produces a smooth burn of the compressed air-fuel mixture.

An electrical device that fits into the cylinder head and ignites compressed aerosol gasoline by an electric spark. They have an insulated electrode connected to a coil that ignites thereby producing sparks.
The spark plug works as a heat exchanger. They tend to pull unwanted thermal energy from the combustion chamber and heat is transferred to the engine's cooling system. Thus they supply some of the energy for the activation of engines.

Atomic size of inert gases do not affect you inertness why

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Because your body has built-in resistance to certain gases, no matter the size of the gas cloud.

That is why we are able to stay non-inert to these types of gases, like Carbon dioxide.

What is the Bond Type and Molecular polarity of PCl3?

DedPeter [7]

It is covalent bonding. The electrons are shared between the phosphorus and the chlorines.

covalent bonding is when electrons are shared between two elements.

molecular polarity is a little bit complicated, but I will try to explain ;)
PCl3 is an alternation on tetrahedral molecules.
It means that P has one lone pair of electrons. This pair of electrons are only attracted to the P nuclei and thus a greater freedom of motion.
This means that their orbital is bigger and this pushes the 3 Cl atoms closer together.
The angle between each Cl now is 107 and the angle between Cls and P is greater than 107.
Now, due to this shape, and also electronegativity (Cl is more electronegative than P meaning that it tends to hog the electrons they share closer to itself), PCl3 is polar. Electrons that are shared tend to flow closer towards the Cl than the P side.
Therefore, on the Cl side of the molecule it's, more negative. On the P side, it's more positive.

If an atom has 11 protons and 13 neutrons what is it’s atomic number

Travka [436]

Answer:

the atomic number is 11 and element is Sodium (Na)

Explanation:

Number of Protons = Number of Electrons = 11

Number of Neutrons = 13

Here, the Number of Protons and Number of Electrons is 11

So,

the atomic number is 11 and element is Sodium (Na)
