Describe what happens, at a microscopic level, when an object is charged by rubbing. For instance, what happens when a plastic p

Answer:

Explanation:

The static charges are generated due to excess or deficiency of electrons, because these are the smallest quanta of charge available at the molecular level which can get transferred with minimal energy requirement.

These charges are usually generated by friction between  the two surfaces leading to the transfer of electron from one to another.

When a plastic pipe is rubbed with a cloth then due to friction the surface of the cloth loses electron which gets stuck at the surface of the pipe making it negatively charged.

Sound travels slower in colder air than it does in warmer air. Make a claim about the effect of air temperature on the speed of
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: The temperature of the air affects the speed of sound in the due to the fact that colder contains air molecules with low kinetic energy. For warm air the kinetic energy of the molecules is high causing them to move in rapid motion. Because of these vibrations and collisions sound waves moves in a faster rate.

ich statement best describes the fundamental difference between spiral and elliptical galaxies? Spiral galaxies are more massive
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The oldest stars in spiral galaxies are younger than the oldest stars in elliptical galaxies.

Explanation:

Spiral galaxies have a greater star formation than elliptical galaxies, since the latter contain less gas and dust. Therefore, the rate of creation of new stars is lower in elliptical galaxies. These galaxies are dominated by old stars, with a long evolution. While the spiral galaxies have stars with a faster evolution.

Electrons of wavelength 1.5 nm are emitted from a material when light of wavelength 350nm is incident on it. What is the work fu
krok68 [10]

Answer:

3.5434 eV

Explanation:

For a particle with kinetic energy E and mass m , the wavelength  associated is given by the following relation,

\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE} }

E = \frac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}

Putting the values  we get

E = \frac{(6.6\times(10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31\times(1.5\times10^{-9})^2}}

=1.063 x 10⁻²¹ J

= .0066 eV.

Energy of¹light in terms of eV

= 1244 / 350 = 3.55 eV.

Work function = 3.55 - 0.0066 = 3.5434 eV.

What conclusion can be drawn from the statement that an element has high electron affinity, high electronegativity, and a high i
amid [387]

Answer:

D) The element is most likely from Group 6A or 7A and in period 2 or 3.

Explanation:

Electronegativity of an atom is the tendency of an atom to attract shared paired of electron to itself. Electronegativity increase across the period from left to right.The ability of an atom to attract electron to itself is electronegativity. Group 7A and 6A elements can easily attract atoms to itself so they are highly electronegative. The most electronegative element in the periodic table is fluorine.Group 6A and 7A is likely to have high electronegativity.

Electron affinity of an atom is the amount of energy release when an atom gains electron . Generally, when atom gains electron they become negatively charged. Group 6A and 7A elements have high electron affinity.  

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove one or more electron from a neutral atom to form cations.  ionization energy of group 7A and 6A are usually high because the energy required to remove these electron is usually very high . The elements in this groups usually gain electron easily so the energy to remove electron is very high.
