Which is NOT part of the definition of matter
qaws [65]

Answer:

Everything that has mass and takes up space is matter. Every day, you find something usual that either does't have mass or else don't take up space. Those things are non-matter. Basically, any type of energy or any abstract concept is an example of something that does not have matter.

Name the following alkyne.<br> Please help me &lt;3
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

D. 7-methyl-3-octyne

Explanation:

1) Identify the parent chain and name it like an alkane.

• The longest chain of carbons, which consists of the functional group (which is the alkyne group in this case: C≡C).

• There are 8 carbons in the longest chain, so it is called an octane.

2) Now, identify the location of the functional group.

• The location number of the functional group should be as low as possible. Thus although we could count from the right, we start counting from the left since the functional group is closer to the left. From the left, the functional group would be at carbon 8 while from the left, it is on carbon 3.

• Replace 'ane' with 'yne' in octane for the alkyne group.

• This would give us 3-octyne.

3) Lastly, add in the name of the branch.

• Here we have one branch, -CH₃. This is read as methyl.

• Identify the location number of the branch by counting the number of carbons in the same direction as when we counted the location number of the functional group. The methyl branch has a location number of 7.

• Adding the name of the branch before the parent chain, we would arrive at 7-methyl-3-octyne as the IUPAC name of the alkyne.

Further Explanation:

A) This option is incorrect as there are only 8 carbons in the parent chain. Although there are 9 carbons in total, the 9th carbon is taken care of in '7-methyl'.

B) Location number of the functional group should be as low as possible, so start counting the number of carbons from the left!

C) Since the functional group is an alkyne, the word 'octane' should be 'octyne' instead.

Explain why a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.
Jet001 [13]

An incandescent bulb becomes hotter than a fluorescent bulb when turned on because in a regular incandescent bulb, there is tungsten wire where electricity is converts into heat. A regular incandescent light bulb requires 4 times more energy than a fluorescent bulb in order to produce the same amount of light. The conversion is such that for a 75-watt bulb, temperature get raised to approximately 2000 K. For such a high temperature, the radiating energy from the wire have some visible light. In such bulbs, 90% of the electricity get consumed in producing heat and only 10% produces light thus, they are not much efficient source of light.

On the other hand, fluorescent bulbs produce light with less amount of heat. In them, 40% of electricity is consumed in producing light and 60% in heat which is very less as compared to heat produced by a incandescent bulb. This is because when it get turned on, mercury atoms inside the bulb collides with electrons and produce UV light  which is then converted into visible light using thin layer of phosphor power present inside the bulb. This produces low amount of heat thus, the bulb stays cooler, the bigger size of bulb also helps in dispersing heat.

Therefore, a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.

while ionic compounds in the solid state do not conduct electricity, when they are melted, electric current
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionic (or electrovalent) compounds conduct electricity when there they are in the aqueous state/solution because the charges of ions of these compounds are what carry the electric charges in the aqueous solution as a result of free movement within the aqueous solution which they do not "have" when in there solid state (where they have a highly restricted movement/compacted structure).
