Why is a mass movement of mud called a flow?

Chemistry
1 answer:
wariber [46]3 years ago
5 0
In terms of a deeper scientific reason, I am not sure, but the basic reason is quite simple. "Mud" tends to look like a mix between a solid, dirt, and a liquid, water or some other liquid. Since it is, in fact, a cross between a solid and a liquid, it has properties of both. It has certain physical and visual properties that only a solid would have, such as texture and opaqueness, but it also has physical properties of a liquid. Since it leans more towards the liquid side than the solid side, we say mud "flows" rather than saying that it "rolls" or "bounces".

How is a molecule of hydrogen formed from two hydrogen atoms?
Shtirlitz [24]
A molecule of hydrogen is formed by two hydrogen atoms, that is a fact.

How does it work? When two atoms, known as "diatomic" pair with another in a bond known non-polar covalent bonds. Where they equally share electrons. A Hydrogen atoms needs 1 more electrons to fill its first shell fully and have a full valence shell. So if two H's share their electrons, they'll both have a full V-Shell!

That's the basics of both the H-H bond and all the other diatomic bonds as well.

According to the combined gas law, the pressure exerted by a gas is:
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer : The correct option is, (d) inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to the kelvin temperature

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

Charles' Law : It is defined as the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

V\propto T

Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

P\propto T

Combined gas law : It is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{PV}{T}=K

or,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

From the above information we conclude that the pressure exerted by a gas is inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to the kelvin temperature.

Hence, the correct option is, (d)

SO2________________.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

a. Dipole-dipole bonding

Explanation:

SO2 has dipole-dipole bonding. This is because of the difference in the electronegativities  of Sulphur and oxygen. Moreover, the lone pair of electrons on S gives it bent shape with a net dipole  unlike CO2 which has a linear shape.( This why CO2 does not have any dipole moment).

So, the correct answer is a.
