Cyanide is found in very many places, some we would never expect. Here's a list of what I know has traces of or has cyanide in it.

Paper.
Textiles.
Plastics.
Bug Killer (Cyanide gas is used to exterminate pests and vermin in ships and buildings)
Artificial Nail Remover.
Any sort of acetonitrile-based products.
It is used to remove gold from it's ore.
It is present in the chemicals used to make photographs.
Cigarette Smoke
Vehicle Exhaust
Spinach.
Bamboo Shoots.
Almonds.
Lima Beans.
Miscellaneous Fruit Pits.
Tapioca.

These are just what I know of, I'm sure there's many more.

Hope this helped! :)

Who was the first scientist to propose that an object could emit only certain amounts of energy?

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Option A), Planck.

Explanation:

The first scientist to propose that an object could emit only certain amounts of energy was Max Planck.

Incandescent (very hot) objects emit different color of lights, i.e. different wavelengths, but by 1900 it was believed that the light (energy) was emitted in a continuous way.

Since the wave model did not explain the emission of such specific wavelengths, when the German physicist Max Planck (1858 - 1947) studied the light emitted by incandescent objects, he proposed that the objects (the matter) could gain or lose energy only in small specific amounts or packages of energy called quanta (plural of quantum).

Planck, later, established the mathematical relation between the energy of a quantum of light with the frequency of such the radiation (light emitted). This is the formula:

E = hν.

Where, E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, and ν is the frequency.

Based on this, __electrons__________________ have almost no mass compared to the other particles.

Setler79 [48]

Based on this, Individual electrons in graphene have almost no mass compared to the other particles.

The material graphene consists of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice.

Electrons flowing through graphene can be scattered from impurities (such as foreign atoms in the lattice), from other electrons and from lattice vibrations known as phonons.

What happens to the electrons in graphene?

According to the researchers, such high values are a result of the photo thermoelectric effect. “It turns out that when you shine a light on graphene, the electrons in the material heat up, and remain hot, while the underlying carbon lattice remains cool,”

Why are electrons massless in graphene?

Yes, low energy electrons and holes in graphene can be thought of as massless because of the linear dispersion of the band structure near the K points.

This is an analogy to the relativistic energy dispersion E2=P2C2+M2C4, which becomes linear in momentum for m=0.

Based on your understanding of how bond types influence a material’s properties, identify each of the following compounds as bei

siniylev [52]

Answer: The given compounds are identified as being made of ionic, covalent, or metallic bonds:

Steel - Metallic bonds
Propane - Covalent bonds
Calcium chloride - Ionic bonds
Water - Covalent bonds

Explanation:

A bond formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another is called an ionic bond. An ionic bond is formed between a metal atom and a non-metal atom.

A bond formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another is called a covalent bond. A covalent bond is formed between two or more non-metal atoms only.

Steel is actually an alloy of carbon and iron where there is less than 2% carbon, 1% manganese and small amounts of silicon, phosphorus, oxygen and sulphur are present.

When atoms of metals are held together then bond formed between these atoms is called metallic bond.

Hence, steel is made of metallic bond.

Chemical formula of propane is $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3}$ as there are only non-metal atoms are present. So, sharing of electrons takes place in such atoms due to which covalent bonding will be there.

Hence, propane is made up of covalent bonds.

Calcium chloride contains a metal and a non-metal atom. This means that electrons are being transferred from calcium atom to the chlorine atom. Hence, bond present in calcium chloride is ionic bond.

Water has chemical formula $H_{2}O$ . Since, non-metal atoms are present there so sharing of electrons takes place between hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Hence, covalent bond is present in water.

Thus, we can conclude that given compounds are identified as being made of ionic, covalent, or metallic bonds:

Steel - Metallic bonds
Propane - Covalent bonds
Calcium chloride - Ionic bonds
Water - Covalent bonds

What changes in space result from the death of massive stars?

lana [24]

Whenever the fuel is being used up, a star explodes and the energy leakage from a star's core ceases.

Explanation:

The dying star expands in the "Red Giant," before even the inevitable collapse starts, due to nuclear reactions just outside of the core.

It becomes a white dwarf star when the star has almost the same density as the Sun. If it's much larger, a supernova explosion could take place and leave a neutron star away. However, if it is very large–at least three times the Sun's mass–the crumbling core of the star, nothing will ever stop it from crumbling. The star is imploding into a black hole, an endless gravitational loop in space.
