The bulb lights up in the circuit. Only two rods are conductors of electricity. Which one of the rods, X, Y or Z is definitely a

Answer: Rod X.

Explanation:

Ok, the electricity starts in the top left part. First, it must travel in the X rod, then it keeps traveling until it reaches the parallel path, and it can go to the Z rod, to the Y rod, or to both of them, and then it reaches the bulb (the circle with a X inside of it).

We know that two rods are conductors of electricity.

Now, suppose the case where rods Z and Y are the ones that conduct electricity, this means that X does not conduct electricity, then when the current reaches to X it stops (because X does not conduct) then the electricity never reaches the rods Z and Y, and then the electricity never reaches the bulb, but we know that the bulb lights up, so we must have that X is one of the conducting rods.

Then, if for example, Y does not conduct electricity, the electricity still can run through the Z rod and eventually reach the bulb.

So we can conclude that the rod that is definitely a conductor of electricity is rod X

What is the relationship between the moons surface gravity, lack of atmosphere, and temperature range?
luda_lava [24]
The main factor is the size of the moon. which is small compared to the earth, meaning that the moon has less gravity, and more gas is allowed to escape the surface, Which basically means theres no atmosphere.

A gas sample has a volume of 178 mL at 0.00oC.The temperature is raised at constant pressure until the volume reaches 211 mL. Wh
stiks02 [169]
V₁ = <span>178 mL                  - initial volume 
</span>T₁ = 0 ⁰C = 273K          - initial temperature
V₂ = <span>211 mL                   - final volume
</span>T₂ =?                              - final temperature

According to Charles's law when pressure is constant the Kelvin temperature and the volume will be directly related:

V₁/T₁=V₂/T₂

178/273=211/T₂

0.65=211/T₂

T₂=324K= 51⁰C

Which sentence describes the bond formed between two identical atoms?
Lilit [14]
The best answer is C

Since identical atoms would have the same electronegativity, thus making its electronegativity difference close to zero, if not equal to zero (O), making the bond between the two to be covalent. Thus, a chemical bond formed between two identical atoms is a covalent bond.
