Mercury have 40 electron clouds.

Explanation:

The electron clouds are the region where there is maximum probability of finding electrons.

As it is known that the actual position of electrons cannot be determined, so Schrodinger and Heisenberg developed the electron cloud model, where the electrons are stated to circulate the nucleus in a cloud form.

So as the atomic number of mercury is 80, that means the number of electrons will be 80.

As it is known from Pauli’s exclusion and Aufbau principle that two electrons can occupy a sub-shell or orbitals in opposite spin directions, so 80 electrons will be occupied in 40 shells (80/2 = 40).

Thus it can be confirmed that 40 electron clouds are present around the nucleus of mercury consisting of 80 electrons in 40 electron clouds.

A boy on board a cruise ship drops a 30. 0 gm marble into the ocean. If the resistive force proportionality constant is 0. 500 k
mixer [17]

The terminal speed of the marble is 0.588 m/s.

Given:

We know that,

F = mg                          ......(1)

where,

F = force

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

Also,

v = F/k                            ......(2)

where,

v = terminal speed

k = proportionality constant

Substituting the value of F from equation (1) in equation (2)

v = mg/k                             .......(3)

Given,

m = 30 g = 0.030 kg

k = 0.500 kg/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

To find,

v =?

Put the values in equation (3)

v = mg/k        

v = 0.03(9.8)/ 0.500

= 0.294/0.500

= 0.588 m/s

You are presented with several wires made of the same conducting material. The radius and drift speed are given for each wire in
jekas [21]

\begin{array}{ccc}&\text{Radius} & \text{Drift Speed}\\d) & 2 \; r &2.5 \; v\\a) & 3 \; r &1 \; v\\b) & 4 \; r &0.5 \; v\\c) & 1 \; r &5 \; v\\\end{array}

<h3>Explanation</h3>

I = v \cdot A \cdot n \cdot q,

where

  • I is the current;
  • v is the drift speed;
  • A is the cross-section area of the wire,
  • n is the number of charge carrier per unit volume, and
  • q is the charge on each charge carrier.

Area of a circular cross-section:

A = \pi \cdot r^{2},

where

  • r is the radius of the wire.

n and q are the same for all four samples, for they are made out of the same material.

As a result, I of each wire is directly proportional to v \cdot r^{2} where the value of \pi \cdot n \cdot q is constant.

For each of the four wires:

\begin{array}{ccc|c}\\& r & v &I \propto v\cdot r^{2}\\a) & 3 & 1 & 9\\b) & 4 & 0.5 & 8\\c) & 1 & 5 & 5\\d) & 2 & 2.5 & 10\\\end{array}.

How do the four wires rank by their current?

d > a > b > c.
